Army Burns Bibles in Afghanistan for "Force Protection"

The skinny.

Church sends Bibles to congregation member in Afghanistan for "gifts" (skirt around current Army proslytation ban) to Afghanies. A "Chaplan" confiscates the Bibles. Army burns them for "Force Protection".

Sad on so many, many levels.

And the whole force protection thing, aren't we there to help raise these folks out of the 14th century? Shouldn't we want to tick off all the Islamofacist that can't stand religious tolerance and have them come out and fight instead of hide so we can send them to Allah and purge them from the nations so those nations can be rebuilt into functioning democracies? No? Why are we there?
