* "The Crusade for a Christian Military": Are US Forces Trying to Convert 
Afghans to Christianity? *

The military is denying it allows its soldiers to proselytize to Afghans, 
following the release of footage showing US soldiers in Afghanistan 
discussing how to distribute Bibles translated into Pashto and Dari. We 
speak to Air Force veteran and former Reagan administration counsel Mikey 
Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and 
journalist Jeff Sharlet, author of a Harper's Magazine article on "The 
Crusade for a Christian Military."
