No one can question the incompetence of this cabal. Trump-competence is the absolute zero of competence. But I'm between you and Rand. I've no doubt he will, in his tantrum, try to inflict as much damage as he possibly can and, I believe, some of it will be successful. He's effectively morphed the Republican Party into his party - formed entirely of our crazy uncles who a decade ago were forwarding conspiracy theory laden emails and now find themselves parroting ~~Soviet~~ Russian propaganda with absolutely no sense of irony that their party used to be the "Better dead than Red" party. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

There is no reason to think the upper echelons of the other branches are not similarly infested (recall - Bush II and Trump were declared divine gifts by serving Army generals). It has been 17 years since the current crusade started - enough for the Xian Soldier Project to come to fruition.

You've kept up. We now gots evangelical-sub C-in-Cs spread throughout the Corp(s)? DAMN! I mean.. Jeez: yathink Seven Days in May is now a credited Course?? (speaking as a familiar re 'Corp-speak, emulated in mere MIl. Academies-- even though these can't put you up against the Wall; all they got is Demerits). General Buck Turgidson ... speaking in tongues? Say it ain't true-ish! Got any links, even Stats on this topic? Googling That seems a probable open-Dossier flag--already. :-/

I think this one has made it here some time ago: http://jewsingreen.org/2004/12/religious-bias-at-the-air-force-academy/ and this one dealing more with incidents while deployed: https://www.aspentimes.com/news/war-against-soldiers-of-christ/ also https://www.christianactivities.com/president-bush-distances-himself-from-general-boykins-islam-comment/ Can't find the two that declared Bush and Trump to be divine gifts right now. Will dig a bit deeper tomorrow.
