DVD Review : Soldiers in the Army of God
Published May 22, 2006
I don't know how to begin to review this documentary from the HBO America Undercover series. It touches on a very delicate subject, abortion, and the freaks that populate this Army of God. And by freaks, I mean some insane people who I believe just need a little nudge to cross that border into McVeigh-land.
The documentary starts by showing us the Army of God's holy martyr, Paul Hill, who shot at three people and killed two of them all in the name of God. Then we meet this Army of God, Neal Horsely, Bob Lokey and Jonathan O'Toole being the major players. They're all a few sandwiches short of a Sunday picnic. There's no other way I can say this - they're nuts.
When Bob Lokey was serving 20 years for murder, he predictably, of course, found God and proceeded to circumcise himself with a razor blade and he thinks this is all sane and for the greater good. Horsely, whose name is not without irony, is a man who practiced zoophilia or bestiality in the past. Jonathan O'Toole left his family at the age of 19 to live with Horsely in another state so that he could be "groomed" for the Army of God's impending war on "Gomorrah" and joined the marines to learn how to use ordnance (I wonder why?).
What's frightening is that the wives are relegated to being hostesses for Army of God get-togethers that seem to go down like a Tupperware party from hell. Parties where these rednecks from Alabama (and surroundings states) have fun re-enacting - wait for it — a Jerry Springer episode about sluts who aborted babies — you just can't get more white trash than that. I feel sorry for the people of the "redneck states", for whom the Army of God are their cultural ambassadors to the outside world. I wish we could see something other than this coming from those states.
What's even more frightening is a conversation between Horsely and Lokey. Horsely, the ever-enlightened servant of God, speaks of seeing a male duck following a female duck around like the loser that he his, because he was "vaginally defeated" by the female duck. Oh, now we are getting to the meat of the matter, the whole reason why all these men are so hellbent against abortion. Lokey proceeds to tell him that is exactly why he circumcised himself, because he, too, was vaginally defeated.
This militancy isn't about abortion, it's about control over the harpies, those sinful women who lead us by our gonads into the burning flames of hell. Well, that's how they made it sound. This isn't truly about protecting children; it's about control over women. These are the types who could never get a handle on their sex lives (no pun intended) or women. Women are evil temptresses so they must be controlled, herded, at any cost.
