2. You're discussing the military more than religion so I say it can stay. We've got several cults

Who are now acting in the name of our armed forces. Prince and his Blackwater group, which keeps changing its name to avoid liability, come to mind first. They may not be totally religious, but they have a mind set that says they are above the regs you served under.

Back in the VW, I guess you had VOA but now they're listening to Rush and Beck and Boortz. They are not an established church, but are pushing a cult that matches all the lists of fascism. It is very disturbing to see that these are the influences on the troops and some go into law enforcement on their return.

They certainly are not all Dittoheads, but conservative memes are dogma. No reason or tolerance, with saviors, prophets and demons who should be gotten rid of including the CIC. This is in our face now and I'm glad you spoke of it.
