I'm kinda surprised that bit

I'm kinda surprised that bit got out into the msm; Granted McClatchy is a bit more progressive than say AP or CNN. This bit of news has been around for a couple months now. I'm glad it's getting attention, finally.

Fundies have all but taken over the Air Force and the Pentagon and now they've infiltrated the Army and Navy. Scary though having a christian military. Once they're fully entrenched a theocracy will be on the horizon.
