Generals appear in Christian video

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The Military Freedom Foundation has asked the Pentagon to investigate a video for a Christian group featuring high-ranking U.S. military officers.

The video, a promotion for the evangelical group Christian Embassy, was partly filmed in the Pentagon, The Washington Post reported. Four generals and three colonels in the Army and Air Force, filmed in uniform, talk about the group, in some cases describing their own evangelical work with it.

Christian Embassy, founded by Bill Bright, who also founded Campus Crusade for Christ, is aimed specifically at high-ranking government employees. At the Pentagon, the group holds weekly prayer breakfasts in the executive dining room.

On the video, Army Brig. Gen. Bob Casen talks specifically about efforts to recruit generals and admirals.

In a letter to the Pentagon, Michael Weinstein, a White House lawyer under President Reagan, asked if the military officers had asked permission to appear in the video in uniform.
