U.S, Military Infiltrated by Fundamentalists: Part II

In my previous story about Jeff Sharlet's piece for Harper's, I discussed how the fundies have stepped up their infiltration of the U.S. Military. Today, I saw a story on Gawker that showed the cover pages from Donald Rumsfeld's defense briefing presentations. You MUST take a look at these. Notice a pattern? Every one of them has a Bible quote on the cover. Samples include:

  • Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. Isaiah 26:2
  • For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 1 Peter 2:15
  • Their arrows are sharp, all their bows are strung; their horses' hoofs seem like flint, their chariot wheels like a whirlwind. Isaiah 5:28
  • Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
They go on and on. All of these are laid over pictures of our military apparatus or other military targets. This is some terrifying stuff.



UPDATE: After a technical issue and an absence, I have had to re-post all of my old posts. As a result there will be many posts listed as published today, Dec 3, 2009, that were posted sometime earlier in the year, but I do not know the exact date. this post is one of them.
