re: #42 WindUpBird

Wow if only there wasn’t a long standing culture of indoctrination and evangelical tribalism inside the armed forces that would take unbelieveable resources and inpainstaking investigation to root out, let along prosecute

I think you’re overstating the evangelization of the military as if most soldiers are mindless religious zealots, when the military represents the breadth of American society. The majority of veterans and current servicemen and women I know are actually not very religious at all nor do they seem to me to be vulnerable to the evangelicals. As the commander-in-chief, the President could have funding stopped for these kinds of ‘spiritual fitness’ programs and have a crackdown take place. This is one of the few times that he can in fact, snap his fingers and shit will get done.

Of course we all know the titanic political cost to him if he says anything at all though about our GLORIOUS CHRISTIAN CRUSADER ARMY.
