They really do seem to think that the US armed forces is only for Christians.

Yup. Started to see that in the Nineties, though as a shop supervisor toward the end of my service I was in a position to prevent proselytising in my shop.

Ye Gods. The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs (which I avoid like the plague) is a regular crucible of proselytisation now; that is of considerable concern to me since they train officers for the Air Force.

Focus on the Family planted themselves right next to the Academy and started getting their people hired there for a reason. Mikey Weinstein of the Freedom From Religion Foundation is fighting the good fight (FFRF’s membership is majority Christian; seems the majority of Christians in the Armed Forces don’t care for the evangelical thrust to take over the military either).
