"The 45th Space Wing deeply desires to honor America's Prisoners and War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA) personnel. Unfortunately, the Bible's presence or absence on the table at the Riverside Dining Facility ignited controversy and division, distracting from the table's primary purpose of honoring POWs/MIAs. Consequently, we temporarily replaced the table with the POW/MIA flag in an effort to show our continued support of these heroes while seeking an acceptable solution to the controversy. After consultation with several relevant organizations, we now intend to re-introduce the POW/MIA table in a manner inclusive of all POWs/MIAs as well as Americans everywhere."
And the hits keep on coming. Dollars to donuts this comes all the way from the top.
The explanation was weak, unfaithful to a basic belief rooted in a majority of those that serve this country and that honor those that have fallen or suffered in that service...
If this is what the Air Force “leadership” is reduced to, then I hope that their recruiting quotas and their retention levels suffer a tremendous hit...
They deserve what is coming...
And if those who have served in this branch of service are somewhat insulted by my opinion, it was not meant to be personal or disrespectful of those affiliations...
There is a point where you have to draw a (the) line regardless...
Just my opinion...
To remove the Bible from the display not only cuts the guts out of what went on in the prison camps but is an abomination and an offense not only to the men who believed and survived the awful ordeal but to God Himself.
Whoever did this should be ashamed, and the 45th Space Wing should be mortified they caved in to this wickedness.
"Controversy" my a$$! It is an open attack on God and those men who believe in Him. Those who meekly go along with it are as guilty as those who conceived the idea.
Hard to believe this is happening in our backyard, Brevard County, Florida ping.I am certain that if the AF did a due diligence search of American POWs from WW2 forward to Afghanistan they would find very few, if any, non-Christian POWs.
If so, then there is absolutely no reason to kiss the @$$ of any person or group who complains about the Bible in the display.
Go ahead and ask the remaining survivors of the Hanoi Hilton and other NVA POW camps about the importance of faith in that environment.
One more minor thought - those who want the Bible removed need to go back to Fairchild for a couple of weeks in the compound. Of all my graduation certificates I ever got that is the one I guard the most, January 1972 is the date.

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.
The new fag force.
Instead of growing a pair of balls and telling those complaining, whiny, sniveling pieces of excrement to shut the hell up and to get out of their face before they beat the living crap out of them for even bringing it up, these beaten down, politically correct commissars of the new and improved diverse and inclusive US military grovel at the feet of any who might endanger their career.
Absolutely sickening...stick your “inclusiveness” you damned brainwashed politically correct idiots!
What a disgrace.
So there will be a Bible, an instruction manual for IED’s and some porn?
Translation: An atheist activist or Marxist ideologue went into someone's office and complained and cited PC. The USAF quickly consulted their Obama zampoliti on staff and pulled the Bible as non-PC.
No mention of it here: The ENLISTED Association Honoring Those Who Served
