Kill Em All, Just Like Jesus Did

Good ol Bryan Fischer is back. This time, he's not worried so much about exiling Muslims, condemning Islam as a religion of violence or outlawing the building of mosques in the US. (Well, he's probably still worried about that, but a man can only express so much worry in a day.) So, this time, he tells us about the decidedly un-Christlike, not-enough-bangbang, femi-pussification of the US military hero (hallowed be his name):

We have feminized the Medal of Honor.

According to Bill McGurn of the Wall Street Journal, every Medal of Honor awarded during these two conflicts has been awarded for saving life. Not one has been awarded for inflicting casualties on the enemy. Not one.
...
So the question is this: when are we going to start awarding the Medal of Honor once again for soldiers who kill people and break things so our families can sleep safely at night?

Good question!? I don't know!

Wait. No. It's not a good question. It's a stupid question. What are criteria for awarding the MoH?

The Medal of Honor is awarded by the President, in the name of Congress, to a person who, while a member of the Army, distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in action against an enemy of the United States; while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit.

(thanks, Google!)

Nope, nothing about "killing people and breaking things". It's, basically, for being heroic.

By the way, Fischer is the “Director of Issues Analysis” for the conservative Christian group the American Family Association.

[pause]

I'm having a hard time seeing how "family" involves asking "Hey. what's up with all these pussies? Don't we kill people any more?"

That's because I'm a godless heathen, I suppose.

Onward, feminized soldiers, Fischer has more to tell us!

Jesus, in words often cited in ceremonies such as the one which will take place this afternoon, said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). So it is entirely right that we honor this kind of bravery and self-sacrifice, which is surely an imitation of the Lord of Lord and King of Kings.

Jesus, what a pussy.

However, Jesus’ act of self-sacrifice would ultimately have been meaningless - yes, meaningless - if he had not inflicted a mortal wound on the enemy while giving up his own life.

The significance of the cross is not just that Jesus laid down his life for us, but that he defeated the enemy of our souls in the process. It was on the cross that he crushed the head of the serpent. It was on the cross that “he disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15).


And lo, Jesus paused to reload. Colt M16:A2

I mean... Jesus, WHAT A MIGHTY WARRIOR!
All hail the King of violence! Kill your enemies where you find them! Religion of peace! No, wait... Religion of violence! No, wait... aw fuck it.

What spurred Fischer's sudden crusade against feminized warriors? Well, you see, Staff Sargeant Salvatore Giunta recently became the first living soldier from the Iraq/afghanistan wars to receive the MoH. And he received it for saving the lives of two fellow soldiers. More specifically:

The U.S. Army says Giunta was a team leader in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley when his squad was ambushed and split in two by insurgents.

Giunta stepped into the line of fire to pull a wounded soldier back to safety, and then engaged two insurgents who were carrying away another wounded soldier, killing one and wounding the other. Thanks to his heroics, both soldiers were pulled to safety on the Afghanistan battlefield that day.


(probably) Not Salvatore Giunta

What a pussy. Jesus would totally disapprove. And so should America.
