Air Force general who spoke of God in talk should be court-martialed, group says

An Air Force general who recently spoke about how God has guided his career should be court-martialed, a civil liberties group is saying.

In a speech at a National Day of Prayer Task Force event on May 7, Maj. Gen. Craig Olson credits God for his accomplishments in the military, and refers to himself as a “redeemed believer in Christ.”

The Air Force Times reports that the Military Religious Freedom Foundation has taken issue with Olson’s remarks, is calling for the two-star general to be court-martialed and "aggressively and very visibly brought to justice for his unforgivable crimes and transgressions."

The group authored a letter to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Walsh, arguing that Olson’s speech violates rules within the Air Force, which prohibits airmen from endorsing a particular faith or belief.

ISAIAH 54:17

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Last year, we had a new General show up on Keesler - his “get to know me” slide show put his faith in Jesus Christ as a top priority. Then, we got a new squadron commander who espoused the same beliefs. They are a breed that is swiftly being purged to all our detriment.

If he had been a Muslim in contact with ISIS and had shot other members of the service, that would have been OK but this is really unforgivable.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is run by Mikey Weinstein, and is not part of the military, the Defense department, or any government agency. It is a private organization run by Left wing, communists and atheists, who, by definition, is a religion in itself, that is, Atheism.

They and Mikey can go pound sand.

Now, IF someone in a position of authority, whether it be in the Air Force, Dept. of Defense, Administration or Congress starts anything against this general, or any officer or enlisted person because the spoke about their religious beliefs, at a National Day of Prayer Task Force event of all things, than that would be not only a travesty and miscarriage of justice, but blatantly unconstitutional.

Anyone notice yet-—how Truth/God was censored and banned for decades now?????? (which was unconstitutional to remove Jesus from the schools and public square as Satanism and paganism and other “faiths” and “religions” were promoted 24/7 by “Just” Laws (ha ha).

Transmission of Traditions and parent’s religion was BANNED by the public schools which undermined parents and their Natural Rights (unalienable) to raise their own children and immerse them with their own identity and individuality—God-Given Natural Rights.

We no longer have a Justice System-—it is a Vice System.

We no longer have “Rule of Law” (Higher Law), we have Rule of Man.....or Stalin....or obama....or Hitler-——it is all the same-—irrational evil laws which are forced unconstitutionally on the masses and Satanic religion forced onto our troops who have to now glorify sodomy and bestiality-—muslim ethics which is the opposite of OUR Justice System based on Right Reason (Natural Law Theory and God’s Laws-—not Satan’s).

Not true. If he had praised Allah he would himself have been praised.
