- Militant Liberty war ein durch den Evangelikalen John C. Broger für das Verteidigungsministerium der Vereinigten Staaten entwickeltes streng geheimes Programm, das zur religiösen Bekehrung im politischen Bereich gedacht war und eine „evangelical democracy“ sowohl international als auch innerhalb der USA fördern sollte. Das Programm wurde in den 1950ern besonders durch den US-Admiral Arthur W. Radford, damals Vorsitzender der Joint Chiefs of Staff, verfochten. In dem Film The Wings of Eagles (1957), mit John Wayne in der Hauptrolle und John Ford als Regisseur, fanden inhaltliche Elemente von Militant Liberty Eingang. Das Programm wurde letztlich innerhalb der US-Streitkräfte wegen der religiösen Natur abgelehnt und auch Militärakademien lehnten eine Übernahme in ihre Lehrinhalte ab, besonders nachdem Verbindungen von Militant Liberty zu rechten politischen Extremisten bekannt wurden. Nach Recherchen des Journalisten Jeffrey Sharlet wurde das Programm von einem heute als The Family bekannten evangelikalen Netzwerk entwickelt und finanziert. Karl Leyasmeyer, ein „field representative“ des mit "The Family" zusammenhängenden International Christian Leadership produzierte auch den antikommunistischen Propagandafilm Militant Liberty im Rahmen des gleichnamigen Programms.

- Militant Liberty: A Program of Evaluation and Assessment of Freedom was a top secret United States Department of Defense project that aimed to utilize information operations and resources at the Pentagon's disposal to counteract the ideological threat of Communism during the Cold War. Militant Liberty was meant to serve as a guiding document for the American Armed Forces as a means to educate foreign and domestic audiences about the merits of democracy and the ideals of liberty and freedom according to the principles of the American way of life. Published on November 2, 1955, it was the result of a thesis, 'Militant Liberty', presented to Charles Erwin Wilson, United States Secretary of Defense by John C. Broger. Broger was President of the Far East Broadcasting Company and a hired consultant in the Joint Subsidiary Activities Division in the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during this period. The purpose of the Militant Liberty pamphlet was to provide a means of evaluation and assessment of liberty or authoritarianism in any given area. It compared and contrasted the ideological differences between those of the Free World and of Communism while establishing principles of individual liberty to which one must strive. This program was one of the many attempts the Department of Defense made to establish an ideological doctrine for the United States. (en)

- This is just another of those front-office boondoggles. The Admiral says we need an ideology, so they hire a guy and appoint a committee that unanimously agrees we're all for clean living and American motherhood and the rest of it. So the fellow writes up a lot of stuff that was said much better in the Boy Scout Handbook, wraps it all up into a capsule, and now they think they've got something like ideological Little Liver Pills. This place isn't what it used to be. It's as if Moral Re-Armament had hit the joint. You'll see. (en)
