ACLU Objects to Marines Praying

This message depicts a photograph of praying marines and starts with the question:

What's wrong with this picture?

The answer is: nothing. Which is more than can be said of the text that follows it.

According to the message, ACLU spokesman Lucius Traveler stated that the ACLU objects to federal employees should not be allowed to pray on federal property and of federal time.

It then quotes Colonel Jack Fessender making some rather unfriendly remarks towards the ACLU.

Whats wrong with this message?

Well, almost everything. For starters, the ACLU doens't have and has never had a spokesman named Lucius Traveler.

Secondly, there is no spokesman named Jack Fessender in the US Marine Corps.

Lastly, the ACLU has never been known to object to federal employees praying.
