Vision TV showed an excellent documentary on the evangelical movement within the American military. It was both a confirmation of thoughts long held and an examination of potential ramifications of the simulation. It appears a link exists between the fundamental Evangelical Christian movement and all facets of the US military. In fact, some accuse of a determined plan to populate the officer ranks with the strictest believers and by means of the 'trickle down' effect form a soldier rigid in religious belief and prepared for the 'end days'. A virtual military coup by the military itself as it marches onward from Muslim country to Arab strongholds. The battle of Armageddon being the ultimate military goal.
Creating the Army of God controlled by and propagated with born-again fundamentalists bent on the final battle between good and evil predicted to mark the return of Jesus, the Rapture, the defeat of Satan or the Anti-Christ, the final ascent to heaven and everlasting life only for those who believe. In the ideal only Christians and specifically only born-again Christian's may enter the house of God. In order for the fundamental strategy to be successful a huge, well armed military anointed with the power of God will as their Crusader forefathers, march across the Middle East slaughtering all in their path until inciting the final battle.
It is ironic that the military is highly supported, sometimes to financial fault, by the Republican Party it is also possible the military and the Party share similar membership and similar affiliations. It is possible those who consider themselves as fundamentalist evangelical Christians may also make up the highest percentage of military members. Neglecting the 'don't ask don't tell' directive one need simply listen, watch and observe the US military in action internally and outwardly and the proposition appears correct.
While all faiths are represented the highest proportion of officers come from the three top military academies all of which have strong fundamental evangelical roots. Those who participate and those who conform to military requirements must also, as a way of fitting-in to military life, join in the religious movement as a means to an end. Whether it is promotion or acceptance, it is easier to be a Christian. Fear versus behaviour or what some call the 'anxiety of moral choice' guides the lost who finally settle for the belief in 'everlasting life' and total happiness guaranteed by God. The good soldier must love his God more than life itself and he must fight for his God to his death.
By corrupting and infiltrating the world's largest best equipped army the goal of attaining a Christain Theocracy anointed by God the 'last days' seem to be upon us. Should the armies of the Muslim world unite there would be two tremendous armies who could be goaded into facing each other on the battlefield. That is expected to be in Israel by virtue of prophecy, biblical writings, beliefs and long held ideas. If the end is near in accordance with fundamental suggestion just what army from the east is massing to fight? Certainly no-one considers Hamas, Hezbolla, al Queda , the Taliban or any other group to be the Army of Satan as size alone prevents such an absurd consideration. So, if the US military has become the threat warned by President Eisenhower then it is time to sweep the military clean. The Vast Industrial Military Complex lead by, trained by, controlled by and made up of predominately Evangelical fundamentalist Christians is to be feared. Not only should the free world fear, the American people, a majority of whom do not share the same fundamental ideology, should also fear the potential problems that such a military could cause. A religious fever for eternal life backed by a powerful military already exclusively involved in two nonsensical wars in the Middle East with fingers in the pie in Libya and there might be some credibility to the concern.
The possibility, if true is perhaps another sign of the Apocalypse. Israel has been given to those of the Jewish tradition and at least one of God's armies has evolved still many pray for the temple to be rebuilt and await the return of Jesus. The existence of the al Asqa Mosque, a most revered sacred Muslim holy place and the lacking opposition army thankfully render prophecy, fanaticism and extreme fundamental beliefs still impotent.
