Actually, I did miss some of that quote, not "quite a bit", but some. Here it is: “That’s the attitude,” he continued. “We’re gonna change mosques into cathedrals. That’s an attitude that pervades, I’m here to say, a large percentage of the Joint Special Operations Command.” He then alleged that Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who headed JSOC before briefly becoming the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and his successor, Vice Adm. William McRaven, as well as many within JSOC, “are all members of, or at least supporters of, Knights of Malta.” Which, again, kinda makes my point for me; "pervades a large percentage". Not "theres a cabal of catholics running JSOC" More importantly, none of this is constroversial, at all. Which was your original point. Jerry Boykin, Erik Prince, McRaven, McCrystal, all of these people and many others are, by general consensus, right wing christians and most of them are far, far right wing theocrats. Jerry Boykin in particular has been a fixture of the theocratic speaking circuit for years and was quoted in the middle of Obamas administration as saying that "he's been asked to raise up an army to take out Obama". Again, ad naueseum, Jeff Sharlet, Mike Weinstein in particular. You can play wiki lawyer all you want about the quote but the substance of it was utterly uncontroversial to anyone who didn't depend on access to the pentagon and congress for their livelihood. If you want to back out of the discussion now because I've made you look bad, so be it. The remark about "second and third hand" was a point about their being, to my knowledge, no transcripts or video, it was poorly phrased. Finally maybe leave off the pseudo-moral posturing about being "attacked", given I went out of my way to qualify what I said, and, in a subsequent comment, clarified the "spy" remark and did so precisely because thats charge is a serious one and I had seen you be smeared with it, thanks for literally attacking me.
