Thirteen additional veterans and civilians have done the same &#8212; all but one just since 2007.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, precisely zero Christians have attacked or attempted to attack the US military because of their faith.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Michael &#8220;Mikey&#8221; Weinstein claims Christians in the US military are a threat to national security &#8212; so much so that he thinks Christians <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2014\/03\/25\/mikey-weinstein-calls-for-religious-test-for-military-service\/\">shouldn&#8217;t even be allowed<\/a> to serve in the military.<\/p>\n<p>Yet every single attempt or plan to kill US troops by these troops or veterans was conducted by a Muslim &#8212; including at least <a href=\"http:\/\/christianfighterpilot.com\/2012\/04\/23\/fort-hood-plotter-abdos-confession-allowed-to-stand\/\">one Muslim that Mikey Weinstein interacted with<\/a> <em>before<\/em> he was arrested.
