Everything else in the Bush administration is politicized and deprofessionalized, what not the military too.
Scott Horton at Harper's deliverers his usual incisive analysis.
Luckily, we have people like Horton and Mikey Weinstein (a former Air Force Judge Advocate (JAG)) at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation to fight the rightwing forces, impervious to argument and contemptuous of religious minorities (like those Jews who are going to burn in hell for not accepting Christ), who believe that their version of Christianity trumps the rule of law, individual rights and pluralism.
I have often had a problem with Abe Foxman at the ADL for smearing opponents of Israeli militarism; but the fact of the matter is we need Foxman's passion against anti-Semitism because under Bush our military is becoming a de facto for-Christians-only force.
