A colonel’s column was removed from an Air National Guard newsletter because the writer violated military policy by including references to Jesus Christ and God, an Ohio National Guard spokesman said.

Col. Florencio Marquinez, the medical group commander of the 180th Fighter Wing, wrote an essay in the September edition of the “Stinger.” It was titled, “A Spiritual Journey as a Commander.”

He wrote about how his mother’s faith in Jesus Christ influenced his life and he referenced a Bible verse from the New Testament, “With God all things are possible.”

Before you could say God bless America, the military ordered the colonel’s remarks stricken from the newsletter. Ohio National Guard spokesman James Sims told me the column was a clear violation of military policy.

Well, the Air Force Academy’s 2014 calendar does not list Easter at all. I have a calendar, so I know it’s true. I was disgusted when I found that it wasn’t even on the page.

The military that is the true military has a problem with its leader. It is just that simple.

It is much more insidious than simply removing the “0ne”...this kind of PC idiocy has been slowly seeping into the DoD for years, decades even.

Removing this administration would help, but it’s going to require a much longer effort to completely erase it...it is systemic.

One could argue that it is ingrained into military culture now.

Absolutely pathetic that they removed Easter from their calendar. Disgusting!

I find it funny in a sad way that the Ohio National Guard spokesman apparently does not know that“With God All Things Are Possible”,is the official motto of the State of Ohio that pays him to be such a freaking MORON!

As just another tentacle of the federal criminal enterprise, of course it does.

Another related and pertinent question is...

Does a Christian volunteer now have a problem with serving the military leadership?

Who is "the military" in this case? Surely, it's coming from cabinet-level positions: Secretary of Defense or Obama's top-level generals and admirals.

This country as a whole has a problem with Jesus. That’s why we’re in the process of committing national suicide. God is not mocked.

With our government’s foreign and domestic policy on terrorism, being a Christian, no way would I join the military.

Our government has sided with the Muslim terrorists against Israel. They harass and are hostile towards Christians. Upon orders, the US soldiers were forced to watch Christians being beaten and killed by jihadists in Iraq without lifting a finger to help them. Obama’s “Arab Spring” has placed radical Islamists in power.

No way could I serve, tolerate and carry out all that.
