Mr. Weinstein, my cadet roommate (cadet name and rank withheld) told me last night that one of his friends and classmates was in a class yesterday afternoon in Fairchild when another cadet in the class by the name of (cadet name and rank withheld) was telling people in the class that the only reason that Military Religious Foundation put up the billboard was to attack Christianity at the Academy. Another cadet challenged that statement and the cadet who said it responded by saying that you only put the billboard up because “It’s a Jewish thing, a money thing. He’s just crucifying Christ again for the same 20 pieces of silver.” I’m sorry to pass this on. I am not Jewish. I am Catholic and face the same pressure to convert to being a “complete Christian” all the time. All I can say is that none of us knew anything about General Schwartz’s letter until sometime on Wednesday morning which is the day after you put the sign up in the Springs. Thanks for all you do for all of us here at the Academy. If you want to hear more my class schedule is very tough today and I have alot of GR’s and some papers due but my cell number is (cadet’s cell number withheld). What the leadership has done with General Schwartz’s letter is real messed up. We see the lies. They hate you guys here. But many of us don’t.
