I've always thought that the army is sort of a necessary evil, but there's just so damn much to criticize. I think it's a bit over the top to say that soldiers obey the president because he believes in god (seriously, you think they aren't atheist soldiers? I bet you thousands of them love this band), but, at the same time, nothing is more obnoxious than people thinking that a war is going to go well for them (if war is something capable of going well) because some supernatural blah is on their side. Everyone thinks God is on their side.
