AF Colonel Cleared of Promoting Religion April 02, 2009 Stars and Stripes|by Steve Mraz
An Air Force colonel has been cleared in an investigation into whether an e-mail she sent to her airmen violated the military’s stance of religious neutrality.
Col. Kimberly Toney, commander of the 501st Combat Support Wing at RAF Alconbury, sent an e-mail on Jan. 16 referring airmen to an "inspirational" video on a Roman Catholic Web site.
The video featured the life of Nick Vujicic, who was born without arms or legs. In the video, Vujicic says he finds his "greatest joy in this life is to introduce Jesus to those he meets and tell them of his (Jesus’) great desire to get to know them personally by allowing him to become their Lord and Savior."
"After a thorough consideration of the facts, the Third Air Force has concluded Colonel Toney acted inadvertently and unintentionally and did not willfully violate Air Force policy or (Equal Employment Opportunity) guidelines," said Lt. Col. Dave Honchul, 3rd Air Force’s director of public affairs.

The suspect who complained probably wears a “What Would Che Do?” button.
What policy would be “violated” if Col Toney intended to inspire the troops. The worst I can see is a nuisance email (technically not permitted, but not a grave sin worth investigating), easily dealt with by the recipient hitting the delete button.
IAC, her career is over. While oscumbo can get on his hands & knees to every petty marxist or moslem snot-bag, she will be persecuted over this for a long time.
