Satanism in the Military Historian Douglas Dietrich

Director Oliver Stone's son Sean interviews Douglas Dietrich, a former military research librarian at the San Francisco Presidio, who says that he used his high clearance to access documents and books containing satanic rituals, which he says are practiced by many high-ranking military officers. They discuss the history of satanism in the military. As early as 1978, the U.S. Army circulated A Handbook for Chaplains. The Church of Satan and the Temple of Set were listed among religions to be tolerated inside the US military. A section of the handbook stated: "Often confused with witchcraft, Satanism is the worship of Satan, also known as Baphomet or Lucifer.” During the 1980s, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Michael Aquino who had top Pentagon clearances, was at the center of a controversy involving the Pentagon's acquiescence to outright Satanic practices inside the military services.
