christian fundamentalists
are freaking out
over younger
in the military professor weir's story but we know the culprits here tony
perkins the head of the family research council remember this is the right wing
christian think-tank that is classified as a hate group
flipping out over this new initiative at the u_s_ military is testing which is
yoga and meditation classes it's called the mind that the the uh... mind fitness
training program
the u_s_ military is testing integrating yoga breathing classes meditation
alongside all of the more a traditional regime uh... regina to keep soldiers
calm mentally fit reduce depression use of alcohol and drugs now as we know this
is a huge problem
uh... in the military suicide rate one per day more likely to commit suicide in
the military to be killed in combat perkins says this is not good
just an attempt to replace
ones relationship with god which should be really what keeps you singing in the
military with things that he considers to be wacky i mean he calls these wacky
substitutes i think what's at the greeley the core of this
is yoga sounds kind of feminine and gay to the family research council i think
that's what they don't like willis
probably i mean if if they have done any research about you know that they'd
realize there is really no
religious component
it's a that well that's the problem they have
they they want soldiers to be focusing on church and praying instead of yelling
at her have a church career fairy tale and and and pray to
to whatever right n do some important exercises that might actually help them
physically and fizzy physiologically that's exactly where uh... somebody
should tell tony perkins that the facing is not keeping up its end of the bargain
with soldiers right like i said
mental health of members of the military is a huge problem
suicide rate skyrocketing in the last couple of years and twenty twelve one
suicide a day
you know yoga is just a wacky substitute i think what it really means is we need
more people praying and yoga sounds kinda feminine and get i think that's on
the list
probably you know what i'd i would much rather have our soldiers uh...
talking to europe instructors yeah instructions then
to anyone related to any religious organization by a group of what the
hundred percent you no question about it
i think the fact that tony perkins a so against this
is a really good indicator that the military is actually doing a good thing
vote yes
of course the morale reissues the better things are getting almost by definition
yet

when we come back i will argue
and i'm guessing it will be an argument
