The enemy within: evangelical fundamentalism in US armed forces

Well, like i said, they're everywhere, so to me its hard to focus on just one aspect without looking at the larger picture. Where the military is concerned the only place where it really matters is the decision makers, and how they let it effect their decision making. The rest of the miltary probably does what myself and my buddies did when it comes to evangelical influence, laugh. I got a bigger laugh when that nutjob i mentioned found somebody stupid enough to listen to the crap he had to spew.

Those guys really take themselves seriously. The barracks is not a family or church enviorment, but yet, there he was, "spreading the word". That said, evangicals might find a more receptive audience in the miltary, the saying "there are no atheists in foxholes" is patently true.
