I forgot that last time I posted Richard Dawkins photoshopped into the soldier ACU digital camouflage, that some service members were kind of offended. I want to make up for it.
I’ll just leave this here.
I just hope Richard lets me down gently if he doesn’t like it. Anybody know if “The Redcoats are coming” context is commonly known over there?
Anyway, come check out Richard Dawkins for free on a military base. There is no ‘sold out’ or other such worries, as we secured the extremely large Main Post Parade Field. The nearby Duke University event already sold out their 1200 capacity auditorium. Overflow should drive an hour south on 31 March!

“The redcoats are coming” is indeed known in the UK as a reference to the American revolution. The only other way “redcoats” might be interpreted in the UK is as holiday camp attendants.

I’d rather have Richard Dawkins defending my freedoms than some of the hate filled people that have posted comments to you. People with that much hate are too dangerous to be trusted with deadly weapons

We need a new Revolution, with help from abroad to rectify this religious mess…

Canada has something they call the Red Coat Trail -- and they actually seem to think that redcoats are a good thing!

FYI, Richard said he had no problem with it. :)
