[A request for people to support getting bibles to troops goes on and on about "No atheists in foxholes" mentality.]
It is amazing to see when one is faced with their own mortality how even the non-religious turn to the Word of God and prayer to find hope in their time of need. I saw hardened men literally devouring these small Bibles as if it were the last sustenance known to mankind!
As a result of these Bibles being distributed and the power of the Word of God, I saw more than 60 combat-hardened men come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. In fact, I had the privilege of baptizing them in the Tigris River on Easter Sunday.

Our soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan should not be sent into battle without Bibles!

There is some logic in this:
Actually, MRE's are pretty good. Well, except some of the vegitarian ones, and maybe the bean burito one that they still haven't quite gotten right.
Rather than providing Bibles, which as a veteran I can assure you that we have as many as we wish to carry already, why don't you provide something useful, like body armor, or entertaining like a deck of cards, or perhaps morale boosting like chocolate chip cookies...
A man is likely to cast about in times of desperation. Doesn't mean he's religious, just that he's scared.

You know what? I think this person is onto something. We should pull out all the gays, all the women, and all the atheists. These people can't respect the fact that they are dying for them, they shouldn't have to. Let them go home to their families while the Xians can have their crusade.
Somebody doesn't know what literally means. I highly doubt they were eating paper.
Also, one of the biggest religions in America is Christianity. So it makes sense that in every organization in America. save a few specifically atheist or religious groups, there are a majority of Christians. Again, it follows that there are more Christians in the U.S. military than any other religion. So of course there are going to be a lot of people wanting Bibles.
