I just read the Harper's article, and while I've never been to Colorado Springs, I hardly think the author merits being called a "snake" for thinking that the Skidmore Owings and Merrill-designed Air Force Academy campus is brutal and a blight on the Rocky Mountain landscape.
That chapel would only look good in Peter Jackson's Mordor.
And that's my purely aesthetic judgment, I'm not even getting into the Academy's coercive religious indoctrination of cadets and widely acknowledged rape problem.
