Christianists Vs West Point

A leading Christianist group, the "Center for Military Readiness," is furious that a West Point cadet got an award for writing a paper arguing against the ban on openly gay men and women serving their country. Christianist activist, Elaine Donnelly, is threatening some kind of investigation:

"I do intend to bring this to the attention of some of the people in the leadership roles at West Point. I think it ought to be questioned."

Several recent polls have found that 60 to 80 percent of Americans believe the military's ban on honest gay servicemembers should be lifted. 55 Arab linguists and 244 military medical personnel have been fired under the policy.
