Commenting on the Trump-Hegseth performance yesterday, Kristin Du Mez points to a passage in her book Jesus and John Wayne in which she discussewd retired colonel David Antoon's commentary on the infusion of warrior rhetoric in the military in the 2000s.
She wrote,
"Antoon identified a source of this inflitration."

"He’d seen cadets and families at the Cadet Chapel welcomed by 'a phalanx of enthusiastic pastors' and recruited to Monday night Bible studies taught by members of New Life Church and Focus on the Family staff bused in for that purpose. The academy, Antoon realized, had become 'a giant Trojan horse for evangelicals to get inside the military.'”
