A cadet quitting West Point less than six months before graduation says he could no longer be part of a culture that promotes prayers and religious activities and disrespects nonreligious cadets.
Blake Page announced his decision to quit the U.S. Military Academy this week, telling The Associated Press that he could not become an officer because of clinical depression played a role in his public protest against what he calls the unconstitutional prevalence of religion in the military.
"I've been trying since I found that out: What can I do? What can I possibly do to initiate the change that I want to see and so many other people want to see?" Page, 24, said. "I realized that this is one way I can make that change happen."
West Point officials on Wednesday disputed those assertions. Spokeswoman Theresa Brinkerhoff said prayer is voluntary at events where invocations and benedictions are conducted and noted the academy has a Secular Student Alliance club, where Page served as president.
Maj. Nicholas Utzig, the faculty adviser to the secular club, said he doesn't doubt some of the moments Pagedescribed, but he doesn't believe there is systematic discrimination against nonreligious cadets.

I believe there is a saying that there are no atheists in foxholes.

Between the lesbian wedding in the Chapel recently, and this guy, we are witnessing a co-ordinated attack on our military. Look for other academies to be sim ilarly distressed.
Sandra Fluke worked so well, the same MO is appearing, even in West Point.
The Collective must tear down the sacred and the traditional. It is the only way, Comrade.
Good riddance to the effete little prick.
“The army can not ban Christian expression from West Point “
Sure they can. At one point we said they’d never let homos marry there. They have.
He just doesnt want to serve his 5 years.
:-)
So...
...they are performing Queer Weddings at the West Point chapel, but that is not left wing enough for this POS. Looks to me like an attempt for the Marxist in Chief to get involved.
Don’t think he wont either.
Yeah, Go Navy, Beat Army — for the 11th time in a row.
There's a lucrative market just waiting for rebels such as this con artist. Next thing we know he'll be hired as an "expert analyst" by some left-wing TV network. He can be a double gun-slinger, aiming his sights both at the military and at religion.
At which point, there'll be exactly no more signs of his "depression" at all. He'll be miraculously "cured" as fast as he can leave West Point behind and can hire an agent.

Exactly.
I gotta ping this tomorrow.

Note what duckworth discovered. Secular Students club; sounds as though he planned this all in advance. A two-fer - help destroy the military and fight against the First Amendment.

Sounds like he wasn’t deemed suitable for a commission due to mental instability and would have been required to serve as an enlisted man?
or warrant officer maybe?
and so opted out on this religious nonsense
and was likely coached
and now claims he would like to be an activist to stop religion in the military
what an assclown
..likely a cakeboy I’m guessing
boy...once they let split tails in it all went to a whorehouse wall smudge
even VMI and Citadel too
is nothing sacred?
I have a question: why is this guy 24?
Most kids graduate at 22.
