Mike Huckabee suggests that parents dissuade their children from joining the military until President Obama leaves office. Apparently he has an "open hostility toward the Christian faith."

 Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) suggested Friday that young Americans planning to join the military should wait until President Barack Obama leaves office to do so because his administration has an "open hostility toward the Christian faith." 

Huckabee told Iowa talk radio host Jan Mickelson that the Obama administration “orders its chaplains to put its Bibles away, not to pray in Jesus' name, not to counsel people on the issues of sexual morality.” (In other words counsel gay soldiers to suppress their sexuality.)

“When you have this attitude that is more about promoting gay marriage and gay rights in the military than it is about being able to protect religious liberty for those people of faith,” Huckabee said, “it’s going to be hard to find people that are truly devoted people of faith and Christian believers and Orthodox Jews and others.” (Bummer! Gee, how will the military survive without all of those fundamentalists bringing Christianity to the Middle East on bullet at a time?)

He then suggested that parents should stop their children from enlisting until America has a new commander in chief. 

“I’d wait a couple of years until we get a new commander in chief that will once again believe ‘one nation under God,’ and believe that people of faith should be a vital part of the process of not only governing this country, but defending this country,” he said.

Silly me. Here I thought that people joined the military to serve their country, not to serve Jesus. 

You know I can't help wondering if the Republicans are really willing to nominate a potential presidential candidate who is on record telling Americans not to join the military?
