Interesting observation.
I don't disagree with it, but I just find it interesting how, in the movie, it was the fanatical religious so eager to defame the military, yet in reality, it seems the fanatical religious so eager to support it. This is an odd dynamic in itself, I suppose - sort of how you (or I do anyways :P) would so readily curse the presence of police on the streets as they interfere with your doings, yet wish there was a cop around every time you see somebody else do something shitty. It's just the way people tend to use their constructions - tools, guns, government, religion, God, etc... Everything is so wonderful when it fits that frame of 'order', but once things no longer live up to how we think they should, once something goes 'wrong', we can just as easily turn on them. It seems one of those uncontrollable primitive inclinations and really should make people question just where their loyalties as 'citizens' lie.
//holy fucking tangent.
