Religion and Its Role Are in Dispute at the Service Academies

aside from aborting our constitution bu$hco sets up theocracy

Three years after a scandal at the Air Force Academy over the evangelizing of cadets by Christian staff and faculty members, students and staff at West Point and the Naval Academy are complaining that their schools, too, have pushed religion on cadets and midshipmen.

The controversy led the Air Force to adopt guidelines that discourage public prayers at official events or meetings. And while those rules do not apply to other branches of the service, critics say the new complaints raise questions about the military’s commitment to policies against imposing religion on its members.

Religion in the military has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, especially because the close confines of military life often put two larger societal trends — the rise of evangelicals and the rise of people of no organized faith — onto a collision course.

1. On this subject I keep my tinfoil hat tuned up

Evangelicals in America (people who have no use for the constitution) attempting to get control of our military power???? Am I nuts? Absolutely not. They have come to the conclusion that they cannot do away with the constitution and take over our country and establish their radical christian theocracy with the focus on the family radio program so why not incrementally take over the military? It might take generatioins but they are driven.
