Now it's the military taking out the word "God" that has been in their oath since 1776 because some kid objected to it.
Judicial Watch Sues DOD for Records about Removal of “So Help Me God” from Air Force Academy Written Materials
Back in July, Judicial Watch told you about a new wave of attacks against religious freedom inside the United States Military. Read what they say below:
There’s the Air Force officer who was forced to remove a Bible from
his desk because it might offend someone. There’s the military chaplain
who was instructed to resign his commission if he refused to “get on
board” with the abolition of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”
policy. There’s the 20-year-old ethics course that was eliminated in
July 2011 because it referenced scripture. And there’s the painting
containing a verse from scripture that was removed from the Mountain
Home Air Force Base in Idaho following a complaint by an anti-Christian
“religious freedom” group.
And now, the United States Air Force (USAF) Academy has removed the
words “So help me God” from some written materials, including the oath
administered to USAF inductees based upon the objections of a single
atheist.
Judicial Watch initiated an investigation into this troubling
decision. And on September 12, 2013, we filed a Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense to get our hands on records that could shed light on how and why this move was made.
