Kaydets being kaydets, I wouldn’t even venture a guess as to some the uses of that place they might find. :-))

Well, rocks aren’t as complicated to build as, say, toilet seats. :-))

Yes, it is. Freedom of religion means being able to practice something other people might not like. We know the limits: human sacrifice and polygamy. The USAF has a reputation of being the most overtly Christian of the armed forces. I like it, being a Christian myself. However, if a pagan officer manages to get through the Academy, then they need their chance to worship.

Great with the military cutbacks coming we can strap missles to the bottom of a broomstick. Think of the savings.

Waiting for the beer and hotdogs.

I am passed worry. I am terrified of what we are becoming.

The government is aggressively trying to undermine the Christian character of the Academy. “Diversity” is now the watchword in admissions. This means that more under qualified people will be admitted to satisfy the diversity god, and they will be passed through unless they commit a crime that can’t be covered up.

Rest assured that mentally ill girls who think they are “witches” will be admitted if they can find any that could possibly be carried through. They are also scouting for sodomites. Just ask the ALOs.

Affirmative action and “diversity” undermine the competence of the Armed Services and are an attempt to gradually bring the Services into alignment with the left.

This nation is doomed.

[GAB-1955]

Does that include having Jewish officers? Or blacks? The Air Corps/Army Air Forces used to oppose blacks and the Navy never wanted any Jewish officers. As long as they are qualified and can do the job, I can't forbid them from being at the Academy.

Of course, considering how fuzzy neo-Pagan thinking is, most of them would fail as doolies.

“The government is aggressively trying to undermine the Christian character of the Academy.”

I was not aware that the United States Air Force Academy was a Christian Institution.

[colorado tanker]

I wouldn't be too concerned. The Academy has caught a lot of crap about accommodating evangelicals and this is eyewash to make them look accommodating to everyone. The chances more than a handful of cadets would ever use this are pretty slim.

The Chapel is still the Chapel and is still the most beautiful structure on the campus.

[Grunthor]

“If you belong to practically any other religion, you have to go off campus to your place of worship.”

What religions would those be?

In WWII the Russians put women pilots in obsolete planes and had them drop bombs at night. The Gremans called them the Night Witches.

Sounds like a natural venue for late night keggers following cadet home football games. Even has a "fire pit" to roast brats.
