more on our apocalyptic christian military

Daily Kos diarist troutfishing is all over this. A post from this week: Military Religious Freedom Foundation Lawsuit Alleges Mandatory Christianity in US Military.

Let me be quite blunt: one of the reasons that the Bush Administration can even contemplate attacking Iran, a move that many think might set the entire region ablaze and put US forces in Iraq at extreme risk, concerns the fact that the Administration has sufficient support in the US military - the support of fundamentalist Christians, especially in the military's leadership, who believe the US needs to engage in an apocalyptic conflict with Islam - to propose such a course of action.

The Pentagon's active promotion of apocalyptic Christianity, demonstrated recently in MRFF research, supports the Bush Administration's desire to implement the NeoConservative game plan (if one can give the honor of calling it a "plan") of toppling the current government of Iran and setting the entire Mideast on fire.
