"Let us pray that God will reflect with admiration the willingness of one nation in her attempts to rid the world of tyranny, oppression, and misery," part of the flag-folding speech reads. "It is this one nation under God that we call, with honor, the United States of America."
The speech closes with the words, "God bless our flag. God bless our troops. God bless America."
According to a U.S. Air Force official, flag folding scripts that are religious in nature can be used for retirement ceremonies. “I can’t speak to the specific incident,” Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokeswoman, told Fox News in 2016. “[But] Air Force personnel may use a flag folding ceremony script that is religious for retirement ceremonies.”
Stefanek continued, “Since retirement ceremonies are personal in nature, the script preference for a flag folding ceremony is at the discretion of the individual being honored and represents the member’s views, not those of the Air Force.”
Did you ever think you would ever see the day where “God” is offensive?
Obama regime.
He would have gotten a medal for saying allah, instead
(and no, forget about Arabic translators....allah’s definitely NOT the one true god of the Bible! just the opposite, it appears...)
Another sad episode during 0EvilOne’s reign.
“God bless America” is now a crime.
Ping.
In a statement to Fox News, Roberson confirmed that it was his wish to have Rodriguez recite the speech at his retirement ceremony
Hard to believe they would do this, but of course this was under Obama.
I recall that scene. It was both disturbing and very confusing. Not sure why he waited till now. Maybe waiting for Obama (and most of his peeps) to leave the White House.
The current Air Force Academy super is currently being run by a lesbo dyke who also lives with her “partner” on site. Just shows you how obamatard ruined the military..
May God Bless SMSgt Oscar Rodriguez.
And may the vermin who caused this disrespect be exposed for what they are.
If we had somebody besides Mattis, a carry-over from the Obama era at the top, who could care less about how the majority in the military feel, who believe in God, we wouldn’t have this.
John Bolton was a good replacement, along with the others who were replaced, it’s time for a change at the top of the defense dept.
Wing Commander at Travis is Col. John Klein; Deputy is Col. Matthew A. Leard.
So where is the Trump Air Force, today, on this imposition of force against free speech, on a dang stage, as they shine their hiney accommodating guys in lipstick and bras, on duty in a war zone??
Really need an answer that respects Christian soldiers, as much as atheist chaplains and Muslims in the Armed Forces, who also closed down chapels on base to accommodate all that fundamental transformation of America.
Bark got his rules for radicals. Where are Trumps traditional rules for soldiers?
And as the man moved in he quickly learned the value of a good straight left.... Louis L'Amour
No mention of the squadron commander's name. It sounds like that commander has some explaining to do.
Queers in the military.
