There are many like him in the services...I have to deal with an USAF Academy grad who is a retired F16 pilot and part time Scout leader. He spares no effort in tearing down the faith of others around him. He’s especially enjoying this kerfuffle about the queers and homos in the BSA...any adult who uses a Biblical approach to their objections over the new policy are his favorite targets.
When he was the Scoutmaster of our Troop, he was almost singularly responsible for a young Eagle Scout candidate failing his Eagle BoR because he was so confused about his own faith he couldn’t discuss “Reverence” after this guy had “talked” with him...
Was that during the time you were Mormon?
