I am a Christian but yet I believe that it would not be a good move for the Marine TFT's program to hand these out. It would only encourage militant religious groups who do not worship Christ to declare Holy war. Our military should not be getting involved in distribution of any religious items. Next thing you know there were be dozens of religious groups trying to proselytize through the military. I think that's the wrong avenue and it would distract our military from their main purpose. They made the right choice. I'm irritated the the religious company actually thought their gift was appropriate. A Christian may be quite offended if their child recieved a Koran for Christmas so why can they not put themselves in another person's shoes and be considerate??
