If he was in ROTC and considering West Point, he would be a shitty SDA. Adventists are supposed to be against using all weapons, going to war, or serving in the military.

Their end-of-days bullshit drags out the kooks, granted, but mostly they're a bunch of pacifist vegetarians who founded scores of teaching & nursing colleges.

Ben Carson doesn't even know what his own fucking religion believes in.
