America Supports You is a Defense Department program designed to support U.S. soldiers and their families at home and overseas.

One of the newest members of America Supports You is something called Operation Straight Up (OSU).  OSU is an evangelical performing troupe.  The plan is to provide entertainment to the troops and families through faith based tours, at home and abroad. According to the American Forces Press Service, “The entertainment provided by OSU Tour is diverse and includes sports personalities, comedians, actors, and even the Flying Wallendas and their death-defying feats on the high wire. Those appearing on behalf of OSU Tour present wholesome, family-oriented entertainment that’s also of interest to single men and women.”
 
OSU has planned a tour of Iraq entitled “Military Crusade in Iraq.”  Great choice of words, eh?

Operation Straight Up is also sending care packages to our soldiers in Iraq.  What do these “Freedom Packets” contain?:

Greeting card: 75 Minute Phone Card: White Socks :Baby Wipes (suggested by Col Oliver North): Gideon’s pocket size New Testament: Extreme Sports “Livin It” Witnessing DV : “More than a Carpenter” book by Josh McDowell” Double printed in the Arabic language: PC Game – Left Behind Game by Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkins: and an assortment of snacks.

How nice………wait a MINUTE!!!!  The PC game “Left Behind”?   The game where survivors of the rapture try to kill or convert non-believers?  That would be the one!   

So to recap.  The United States Defense Department is supporting a program (Operation Straight Up) to tour Iraq using the word “Crusade” and sending PC games to U.S. soldiers in which the object is to kill or convert non Christians.

How do those crazy Muslims in the Middle East get the goofy idea that the invasion and occupation of Iraq is just a modern day crusade?
