So they have religious backing for this war meaning it is a crusade

No, it isn't. It could be many for many things, like being killed instantly without getting the chance to pray, or for always having what you believe in at your side when you can't carry an entire bible.

What common soldiers write on their weapons does not affect the reason of war. That doesn't make any sense.

The reasons in the vid are undeniable though

There seems to be a misunderstanding

It wasn't the soldiers who wrote this, it was the weapons company.

Washington approved of this.

Okay. I'm going to put you in this Christian soldier's place. Imagine that you are 18 years old, poor, and grew up in a christian family. You have for all your life been close to god and wish to continue to do so in what are possibly your final moments.

It makes perfect sense.

I understand your point but was that truly the intention of putting those verses on there? We'll never know I guess, since they stopped this some time back.

I bet they did is so Islamic extremest would not use our own weapons against up =P
