Subject: Air Force Academy: “Lies, Lies and More Lies”

Mr. Weinstein and MRFF, you do not know me but I am one of your clients anyway. I am one of your clients because I and many others here cannot breathe. We cannot breath one word of protest against the “serious committed Christian” bias that exists here at the Air Force Academy everywhere.

I have run this e-mail message by another dozen or so officers here at USAFA to make sure that I can speak for them as well. And I can. One word or even one tiny action against “them” and you and your career are labeled as an “outsider.” Lt. Gen. Mike Gould says he wants us all to have “fanatical institutional pride” in the Air Force Academy. He tells all of us that. The way it is here, no one understands unless they’re here and tuned in enough to be aware of it all. Well, that “fanatical pride” is not considered proper unless it includes the right kind of “fanatical Christianity.” What kind is that? Just the kind that is handed out by USMC Lt. McClary. I’ve heard him speak before and I know what he says and what he does to his audience. It made me sick then and will again when he speaks on Feb. 10 at the Falcon Club here at USAFA. Unless MRFF and your allies stop it from happening. If anyone of us beg to differ we’re going to be hurt by the system here which is the people who are the “Christian” Christians. If that happens it’s all over. I am also an Air Force Academy graduate and pilot. I am married with kids and my wife and I are Protestants but try to keep it very on the down low because we know we’d be judged poorly for not being “energetic Christians” as my boss likes to say. Like the time my boss asked me if Jesus was in control of my life or if I felt that I was the one in control and then gave me some literature from Focus on the Family as a “gift.”

The leadership at the Academy LIES! Especially about you, personally, Mikey, and the MRFF. It has been made very clear to me and many others here by the leadership that you and MRFF are bad for USAFA and America. It is also been made very clear that we are expected to support USAFA by personally attending this “National Prayer Luncheon.” I saw in the news that the Academy is trying to downplay this whole mess which the MRFF brought to the public by saying that it’s “voluntary” to go to it and that this USMC Lt. is a just “motivational speaker” and that “nobody will be taking names.” LIES! My USAFA boss and even his boss left it very clear that if we didn’t go to this “patriotic Christian” event we’d be “letting him down.” Seriously, “patriotic Christian” event? That says it all. Believe me please MRFF when I say that the names of the absent will very certainly be remembered. Am I going? In a word, hell yes. I have kids and need my job. I have been afraid too say anything to them for a very long time now. I’ve gotten good at hiding my hatred of it all. I’m used to it now. The feeling I have of being down for not standing up to the “energetic Christians” here is not as bad now as the feeling I would have of having my Air Force career derailed by a bad performance eval. You do not need to tell me what that makes me. I know what that makes me and I’m not proud of it. Thank you MRFF for fighting for those of us who have lost the will to fight. And in doing so lost a lot of our own dignity.
