National Guard ad with Bible
I was on Youtube and noticed the following ad banner for the National Guard:
For a split second, I thought it was an ad for a church or something, until I saw the National Guard logo. WTF? I guess only Christians are needed in the National Guard. Or everyone is needed and they will encourage you to read the Bible.

I saw the same thing. I clicked on it and it is an ad for Chaplains needed in the National Guard. So, not AS offensive. But they are not holding a Koran or anything. Clearly religion means Christianity to the Guard. What about more psychologists, who might have something to help those suffering from trauma.
Maybe a hand holding a DSM IV

Or, instead of the big book of jewish and christian fairy tales, it could show him holding - ohhh, I don't know - a copy of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES!!! As in the one every service member takes an oath to uphold and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic!
