| 'So help me God' optional in Air Force honor oath |
| 2013-10-27 |
| Weinstein, a frequent critic of Christianity in the armed forces, wrote a letter to Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson. Weinstein said she responded 68 minutes later (emph added - UP). ...the USAF may be spring-loaded for some things, but 68 minutes is really really fast (in normal times) for something like this...almost like she had her response already in mind / prepared... |

| #3 ....I would point out that, at least in the USAF, the option of 'affirming' - as opposed to swearing, so help you God - has been permitted for official testimony at court martials an inquries for decades now. Not that it doesn't matter; the problem here is that the USAF let the Academy turn dangerously close to a Christian military school and now they're feverishly trying to throttle it back, with all the collateral damage that will entail.
