On March 14 Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh told members of the House Armed Services committee that there was no war on religious liberty.
The single biggest frustration Ive had in this job is the perception that somehow there is religious persecution inside the United States Air Force, the general told lawmakers. It is not true.
Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) told me the Air Force seems to be the worst offender when it comes to attacks on religious liberty.
If thats true, perhaps Gen. Welsh could explain why a Bible was removed from a POW/MIA Missing Man Table at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. The removal of the Good Book was first reported by the Gannett-owned newspaper Florida Today.
[...]
Ron Crews, the executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, told me he hopes the Air Force will restore the Bible to its rightful place. He called it a symbol of hope and courage for military personnel and their families.
It is sad when military traditions honoring our POWs and MIAs are trumped by pursuits to remove any vestige of the faith that has sustained our warriors since Valley Forge, Crews told me.

Expunging tokens of faith even from places where it obviously played a HUGE role.
God is mad.
Traitor!
Welsh is terrified of being sued by Mickey Weinstein .
Micky Weinstein needs to have a close encounter with a fast moving bus .
@vj44 huh.
Now we know for sure who’s the REAL POTUS.
if i say anything else i'll simply get suspended or a knock at the door, so on that note, i'll say goodnight, then my PRAYERS, and goto bed
Yep. Valerie is running the show. And she’s no better qualified than a community organizer.
Tell your kids, nephews and nieces, young neighbors, co-religionists and others of that age to skip the military if and until we get a “Reagan” figure and congress back into national leadership who can reverse this nonsense. Coming from a family who came here in 1690 I don’t say this lightly.
We are all too familiar with the stories out of Hollywood of how screwed up some star's kids became and are becoming.
I fear for John's two offspring...
Mickey has his work cut out...
Here was a start...

You can find a story about that subject in the link I just provided...
The new fag force.
I’m thinking of other things that SHOULD be burned.
That’s exactly what they are doing. They are going with “pick on the Christains” plan so they can validate the “bitter gun clinger, Bible toting, white folks” crap.
The fish rots from the head. Junior officers do this garbage because senior officers want it. Senior officers do it because the CIC wants it.
We need to assault the Air Force for its lack of inclusion of Jewish chaplains. They have only a few Jewish chaplains and hundreds of Christian chaplains.
What is the basis of THAT!
Then they will be forced to admit that this nation is predominantly of a Christian background.
That is why on a per capita basis there should be more bibles, more Christian prayers, and more Christian chapels than anything else.
And those differences should lead to TOLERATION and not a misguided definition of “inclusion”. The Founders wanted toleration when they penned the 1st amendment.
That is, ACCEPTANCE of differences.
Somebody needs to tar and feather Mikey Swinestein.
I’m speechless.
