I wouldn’t even say hip-pocket. The Army has clearly said this is not Army material. If it were Army material, it would have been staffed, and that would have required it making its way through a review by the Chaplaincy and by JAG, either of which would have flagged the “catholic” section without even a second thought.
I would say a powerpoint buck sergeant took some sources and put together a slide.
My concern would be the brainwashing in his earlier years that prevented him from seeing the silliness of some of the groups he placed on that list.
So, it’s a cultural/media issue and not a military issue.
Have you noticed that some people are not listening to you? This is happening more frequently on FR, someone who is really an expert and knows what they are talking about posts a comment that debunks some particular line of nonsense. The result is usually either an immediate ad hominem attack or they pretend that you do not exist. Most of these people never read the article, they just pounce on the headline. I fondly remember the days when we recognized folks who knew what they were talking about, read what they had to say, and learned from it. Not much of that going on these days.
