Recent news raises the possibility of a disturbing connection between the rise of apocalyptic Evangelical Christians with doomsday beliefs and reports of pro-Christian prejudice at the US Air Force Academy. Air Force officers control a large portion of America's nuclear weapons. With the Bush administration eager to begin using tactical nuclear weapons and moving to give military commanders the option of requesting nuclear strikes, the possibility arises of infiltration of the US military by Doomsday Christians who are prepared to initiate the "end times" via nuclear war.
This is a classic case of unintended outcomes from the careless mingling of volatile ingredients. Doomsday Christianity + radical Christians in US military + Bush war-loving, trigger-happy foreign policy = KABOOM! Members of Congress should be extremely careful in making their appointments to military academies to screen out Doomsday Christians. Anyone who thinks that the "End Times" are coming in the near future should not have control over nuclear weapons.
