Here is an article that shows how much the military in the USA has changed over the last 50 years.
It is unfortunately apparent, not only in the military. From posts on these forums, speeches by politicians and business leaders from the USA, it is apparent that the cancer is spreading.

This has more to do with the United States Government using something (religion in this case) as a propoganda tool rather than what it is meant to be used as. Just like Prez Bush used his "Fear the Terrorists & Be Patriot" speeches.
The United States Government has obvious concluded that if Americans can stomach religious leader molesting young children, stealing their monies, and continue to follow their faith, then they can use religion as a tool also. Whatever gets the sheep to follow.
That is how Mr. Bush has managed to to accumulate more national debt than all the other presidents before him combined, without a revolt from American citizens and a demand for his impeachment.
It's called propoganda.
I've said it before. You've got 5 gigantic corporations controlling 80% of the media. But the mushroom cloud started with the creation of the Federal Reserve.
