Air Force Too PC for Prayers in Jesus? Name
The spineless AF leadership, every time it is pushed, seems to cave to the demands of its anti-Christian critics.

Jay, Thanks for posting this! This is an end-run around the AF Chief of Chaplains and the christians in the military. To the politically correct [edited] in the Pentagon: You are happy to have Bible-thumpers fixing your jets and humping your M-4s on patrol — and, in some cases, coming back in body bags. . . . But it is too much for you to let them hear a prayer in Jesus’ name from one of their like-minded chaplains? I have nothing but contempt for the Pentagon bureaucracy on this one. But, again, for all you Bushbots, the buck stops at the desks of SECDEF Dumbsfeld and President Bush on this one. Dumbsfeld is obviously worthless and Bush is . . . Clueless? — gunjam

Why does a person join the military to defend the constitution and then have his constitution rights to freely practice his religion denied. When Chaplains are not allowed to pray as required in their beliefs they are denied their constitutional rights. Simple as that Chris.

I think the chaplains in the military are just fine the way they have always been since the founder’s appointed the first one. To restrict each individual’s specific faith and water it down for the sake of political correctness is censorship. In no way is an individual Chaplain’s religious expression anywhere close to Congress establishing a law that favors any one religion.

What is your problem with non-denominational? The United States military is an institution funded by tax dollars–lots of tax dollars–so many tax dollars that you couldn’t fund it if you just used Christian tax dollars–so, since public monies aren’t supposed to be used to elevate one religion above another–what is your problem regarding non-denominational prayer? Or is it that you are really seeking to elevate Christianity above the rest?
