Bill O'Rights, I am sorry that I've done such a poor job of concealing my incredulity and outrage. I live in the midst of this, as I described in the OP.
IMO, there are two groups who share the same "politics". One has the advantage that the other is in denial of the extent of the political influence that the former has amassed, ironically, over issues that both factions have such similar opinions about.

........Yet one of his favorite lines these days -- right up there with "sucking chest wounds" -- comes from the Officers' Christian Fellowship, a private organization with 14,000 active-duty members on more than 200 U.S. military bases around the world. In its mission statement, the OCF says its goal is "a spiritually transformed military, with ambassadors for Christ in uniform, empowered by the Holy Spirit.".......
......Ambassadors for Christ in uniform. To Weinstein, who is both a Jew and a member of a military family, it is an abomination. It "evokes the Crusades." He says he can't believe that generals talk like this when the United States is fighting a global war on terror and trying to win hearts and minds in Muslim countries...........
