MILITARY.COM – Lawyer Links AF Academy to Instructor’s Dog Poisoning

Published On: February 6, 2012|Categories: News|0 Comments|

Selected Article Excerpts:

  • A lawyer for a religious watchdog group believes the poisoning of an Air Force Academy instructor’s service dog last April may have been linked to an alleged “counterinsurgency” operation against the group called for by the school’s dean of faculty.
  • Attorney Robert Eye of Kansas, in a Feb. 1 letter to Air Force Secretary Michael Donley, claims Brig. Gen. Dana Born directed the head of the academy’s Military Strategic Studies to conduct a “counterinsurgency campaign” against the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and its clients.
  • The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been engaged in numerous legal battles with the Air Force Academy going back more than six years over instances of Christian proselytizing at the school. Mikey Weinstein, founder of MRFF, said any call to conduct “counterinsurgency” against his group or clients is essentially declaring a war on them.
  • “To order a war against a civil rights organization that represents more than 26,000 military members is clearly conduct unbecoming,” he said. “It violates the [Uniform Code of Military Justice] and it’s unconstitutional.”
  • Eye is demanding the Air Force Inspector General’s office investigate the purported directive to Col. Thomas Drohan, a professor and the head of the school’s Military Strategic Studies department, and“whether there is a relationship between the counterinsurgency ordered by Brig. Gen. Born and the poisoning of” Prof. David Mullin’s service dog.
