12. The Air Force is almost completely controlled by evangelicals now...
A very cursory search on the net will prove that point. The USAF Academy in Colorado Springs has had one scandal after another for over 10 years becuase of complaints that evangelicalism is forced down the cadets throats. You follow or you are out. If you survive that then your promotions and assignments are determined by your degree of exhibited 'faith'. I believe their is even a GAO report on the problem. It is little different in the enlisted ranks.

My son who is Navy career knows several in the USAF, they swear the stories and reports don't go far enough.

The Army has a large taint, as does the Marine Corp(only surprise is the reduced amount in the Marines). the NAvy, for whatever reason seems to be the least infiltrated, but that can't last much longer under present conditions.
