When a veteran started offering traditional remarks at a military flag-folding ceremony, several uniformed airmen assaulted him, dragging him out of the room because his remarks mentioned God. Now First Liberty Institute lawyers representing retired Senior Master Sergeant Oscar Rodriguez are demanding that the U.S. Air Force apologize and punish those responsible or face a federal civil-rights lawsuit.

Those living in the dark will try to extinguish the Light because they don't want to see.

Apologize my ass! Sue the atheistic bastards responsible, name 'em and shame 'em, seize their g*ddamned pensions!

He should have said, “Allah”, and he wouldn’t have been bothered.

[Rumplemeyer]

These airmen did not do this alone, they where ORDERED by someone to do this if the word God was mentioned, this goes way up the chain of command. Follow it.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The thugs who assaulted the veteran, and the bigger thugs who gave the orders, need criminal charges NOW.

Or we have indeed turned into the g.d. Soviet Union.

"According to a demand letter sent by First Liberty Institute on Sunday, when the squadron’s commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Sovitsky, learned that Rodriguez would give the traditional speech mentioning God, he expressed his opposition and allegedly tried to block it."

"Sovietsky"-What an appropriate name for an Obama Regime military officer, but can it be real?

[broken_arrow1]

If it were Allah, all would have been fine.

[scouter]

Is it my imagination? It seems to me that these types of stories about militant atheism are more common in the Air Force than in the other branches of the military. Do others get the same impression?

[animal172]

This is not the military I grew up in as an Army brat and served honorably as a member of both the Army and Air Force. How much lower can we go?

[Ann Archy]

OMG!!!! Wonder why we are going into the toilet so fast.....THIS IS THE REASON!!! We have kicked GOD out of our country, mothers have KILLED 56 MILLION of their Babies, we have GAY EVERYTHING now.......we are DOOMED unless we invite GOD back into this country and our lives!

[RetiredArmy]

One day those God haters will stand before Him at the Great white Throne and be cast into the outer darkness of the Lake of Fire. That is the punishment that awaits them if they don’t get on their knees and ask Him to forgive them for their crime against HIM!!!

Or we have indeed turned into the g.d. Soviet Union

or Saudi Arabia

This policy of not referring to God dates to 2005, during the George W. Bush administration. So the secularist policy is really a uniparty move. And people like Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, etc. want us to support RINOs.

[Nifster]

Man has the military changed

[BigEdLB]

It seems to me that if the person giving the remarks was civilian, the local police could arrest the thugs dragging him off stage with assault and battery.

[texteacher]

Per the article, “In 2005, the Pentagon changed the speech to remove all references to the divine, substituting additional historical facts such as Neil Armstrong’s planting of an American flag on the moon in 1969.”

IIRC, the Election of 2004 resulted in a Republican president and Congress. Why was such a policy allowed to stand?
Sidestepping to an indirect issue, this is why I will fight the GOPe ‘tooth and nail” if they try to take out Trump. Has any other Republican candidate so openly called for defending Christians?

[healy61]

He couldn’t have over powered them all, but he could surely have left permanent disfigurement on one bastards face.

[ViLaLuz]

Your comment is profound.

[BigEdLB]

The one who needed disfigurement was the thug officer who gave the order.

[elcid1970]

Atheistic thuggery is more common in the Air Force & it is the doings of Mikey Weinstein who needs the s*** beat out of him the day President Trump takes offices.
