I always find the blend of religion and patriotism to be a bit on the strange side - but this borders on downright creepy. Something about it just screams "brainwashing" to me.
(And yes, I'm familiar with the verse in Ephesians ch. 5 about being a soldier of God, wearing the armor of God, etc. But I don't think the US Military was what the Good Book had in mind. In fact, that part of the Bible is all about walking in love.)
