It ought to be noted that up until 2013...they had the two options and someone (unknown and not brought into the controversy) made the decision that the God-phrase was the only option. The Marines, Army and Navy? That’s the odd thing...they continued on with the two options, as has been the case for decades.
The Pentagon legal staff really didn’t do anything except ask what Air Force idiot made the change, and how they’d come to that rational decision, while the other services maintained the decades-old standard of two options.
I think the Air Force was a bit embarrassed by the whole thing and looking around at what other little rule changes have been tossed into the works that suggest some type of agenda at work.
“The Pentagon legal staff really didn’t do anything except ask what Air Force idiot made the change, and how they’d come to that rational decision,”
Nobody forces the “lost” to join the greatest military on earth. They do it of their own accord. If the “Chair force” has become the ‘shrinking violet’ of the armed forces, who’s next, to follow their unGodly example?
It’s no wonder the world laughs at us.
