The image is not included, however, it is a photoshopped image that's been around the internets for awhile of a group of soldier who appear to have their head's bowed in prayer (so what?)....What is appalling is the text below which was in a message from a freeper acquaintance.....
If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying.
This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."
When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU." GOD Bless Our Warriors, Send the ACLU to France.
Please send this to people you know so everyone will know how stupid the ACLU is Getting in trying ! to remove GOD from everything and every place in America. May God Bless America, One Nation Under GOD!
What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

As a member of the ACLU, I find that the information about the ACLU commenting on soldiers praying is fiction. Sounds like another Right Wing balloon, like the swift boat veterans.

3. Um, is there any truth to this little missive? |
|
"Message from a freeper acquaintance" doesn't exactly scream reliability, to say the least.

5. Why Would the ACLU even want to ... |
|
get in this fight? The cornerstones of the Marine Corps are God, Country Corps and probably not even in that order.

9. Debunked at Snopes, according to a previous poster. Therefore... |
|
This is further proof that freepers are filthy, whining little liars.
And parroting their filthy, whiny little lies for them... well, that's a game for suckers.

12. Another right wing lie |

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise.
Leave the ACLU alone. They are the only thing between us and "reeducation camps".
