But, it works against the Knights of Malta and Opus Dei meme. Back in the day, when we had mandatory chapel, this didn't seem to be a problem. Just saying.<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-1957706995875228082011-01-18T22:10:54.340-05:002011-01-18T22:10:54.340-05:00There is no doubt in my 24 hour military thinking ...There is no doubt in my 24 hour military thinking mind that an element of "crusade" existed in the decisions that engulfed our nation in two wars.<br /><br />Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dubya are bottom line corporatist with a flare for thumpin the good book. It gets the congregation riled.<br /><br />Plus there is <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/03/AR2005050301499.html" rel="nofollow">stuff like this:</a><br /><i>The Air Force said yesterday it is creating a task force to address the religious climate at the U.S. Air Force Academy, following allegations that its faculty and staff have pressured cadets to convert to evangelical Christianity.</i><br /><br />That said, Mr.Hersh appears to be connecting several dots too many. I am particularly skeptical of charges made against Catholics. A religion I have abandoned for several reasons. None of which are based on wild conspiracy theories and superstitious rumor mongering.<br /><br />I'm not sure what Hersh is up to.

Now THERE is an indelicate subject. Is there an antonym for "cause celebre" out there?
