Should this be something we do as a means of promoting peace, therefore the military should do it? Or, is it something our military should avoid because it is a religious thing, and therefore becomes a state promoted religion?</p> <div class="URL"><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/202734">http://www.newsweek.com/id/202734</a></div> <div class="URL"></div> <div class="URL"></div><div style="clear:both;"></div>
