If There Was Any Doubt that Christian Dominionists Were Settting the Stage for an Eventual Coup

While the news that senior Pentagon officers seems like a stupid infraction of the rules, I see it as part of a larger, and more troubling picture.

Specifically, if one follows what is going on in the Christian Dominionist Movement, this is clearly a part of the pattern, along with things like the bigotry and harassment at the Air Force Academy, of the Religious Right create a military amenable to a Religious coup that would create a theocracy in the US.

They have been calling for this for years.

Four military generals, two in the Air Force, violated ethical standards by appearing or participating in a Christian fundraising video filmed inside Pentagon hallways, according to the Defense Department’s Inspector General’s office.

Maj. Gens. Peter Sutton and Jack Catton Jr. did not secure approval to promote the evangelical group Christian Embassy while they were in uniform, according to the inspector general. Two Army brigadier generals, Vincent Brooks and Robert Caslen Jr., are accused of the same.
