“Many of them are members of Opus Dei,” Hersh continued. “They do see what they’re doing — and this is not an atypical attitude among some military — it’s a crusade, literally. They see themselves as the protectors of the Christians. They’re protecting them from the Muslims [as in] the 13th century. And this is their function.”
My understanding of that statement is that he meant that they were deeply religious and were members op Opus Dei, not that there's a secretive organization that's controlling USSOCOM.
Please stop propagating things you read in that horrible VOX article.
- tootie 11y agoI don't think this is even a controversial statement. Gen William Boykin was the former head of Delta Force and has been pretty unequivocal that the US is at war with Islam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Boykin#Religious.2FPolitical_views_and_comments http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Boykin#Religious.2FP...
