Yeah, he means the Academy. Also Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, NORTHCOM, SPACECOM, NORAD and Fort Carson. Crawling with military, including 600 Canadian AF personnel attached to NORAD.
It's politically very conservative, but that is due more to the military and the libertarians than the evangelicals (though they are a significant component). Church attendance is only slightly higher than the national average, though that may be because every Sunday morning the gorgeous mountains are out there with outstretched arms and calling "Come unto me...".
I know what you mean re: mountains. I see the Cascades and Olympics .....
