Per the article, “In 2005, the Pentagon changed the speech to remove all references to the divine, substituting additional historical facts such as Neil Armstrongs 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?
Precisely.
Indeed.
2005 was a year of turning and in hind site around the time I came to despise the GOP.
Why was such a policy allowed to stand?
Because there was a Republican President and Congress. We kid ourselves by thinking that the GOP is a godly party. They are not. They are just as bad as the other side. While there may be some good people in the party, as a corporate body it is just as evil and corrupt as the democrats. George W. Bush fooled us all.
