I’m sure the military decided they needed to be able to use lethal force on civilians for totally legit and not at worrisome reasons that have nothing to do with upcoming elections.
“Come on, trust us, we’re the government.
Have we ever lied to you, abused your trust, stolen your money or conducted weird mind control experiments or released viruses on you or polluted your food and water, censored you, called you an extremist or spied on you?
We’d never hurt you, we’re the good guys.”

I am not opposed to the accumulation of knowledge, the refinement of wisdom or the application of intellect in any way. Those are good things, and for a couple thousand years or so there was no distinction made between the study of the world and the study of the word.
But post modernism changed that attitude, to the detriment of society (in my opinion).
Of course we need scholars of Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Aramaic, etc.
