Campus Crusade's steeplejacking of the military--and some backgrounder

Bruce Wilson, Chris Rodda, and Military Religious Freedom Foundation have now posted more info in regards to an increasing scandal--namely, it seems that neopente groups (and in particular Campus Crusade for Christ-linked groups) have not only aggressively targeted the military but are explicitly running programs to turn soldiers into (in Campus Crusade's own words) "Government-Paid Missionaries"--the same sorts of missionaries that have resulted in fully half of the Christian population of Iraq fleeing for their lives due to dominionists having made even non-dominionist Christians targets.

The full article is at TruthOut; the first link goes to the "Cliff's Notes" version on DailyKos.

I have also posted a companion piece on DailyKos detailing Campus Crusade's history of promotion of dominionism and its links to the Assemblies in particular; some of the info (in particular, in Sara Diamond's Spiritual Warfare that I used for research) points to Campus Crusade possibly having targeted the military as early as the mid-80s for wholescale steeplejacking.

Your comments--and, for you DailyKos users, your recommends--are, as always, appreciated. I'll also be glad to answer any questions here as well.
