Dear Col Slocum:

As a supporter of (and contributor to) the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), I have been made aware of, and have been following in horror & disgust, your subversion of U.S. national policy to promote your personal religious beliefs.  Nobody disputes your right to hold whatever beliefs you choose.  But, you have no right (regardless of your interpretation of the ‘great commission’) to project your beliefs onto those subordinate to you who have no legal ability to either ignore or resist your bullying tactics… and I use the adjective ‘bullying’ advisedly.

It is evident that contrary to your presumptive belief in the commandment to not bear false witness, you did exactly that when you swore to ‘protect and defend the Constitution of the United States’ when, in reality, you place your religious beliefs ahead of the Constitution as evidenced by our flagrant disregard of the admonishment of the 1st Amendment that any mandated religious activity in the name of the government is unconstitutional.

Further, your ‘…doing the Lard’s work’  meme negates the fact that your salary, the salaries of those under your command, and the purchase of the equipment which our country provides you to do the work it sets as your tasks has been purchased with tax dollars paid by Americans of all (and no) religious beliefs for the betterment of our nation without any religious connotation or mandate whatever.  Thus, you are doubly dishonest, not just in your oath but in your fraudulent use of those tax dollars to advance your extreme religious beliefs – shared by no more than 1/3 of American Christians as determined by polling results – in a manner not endorsed by either the American People or the Constitution to which we subscribe.

Sir; cease & desist!  Do the job for which you are being paid – by me & others like me – and if your beliefs are such that you cannot divorce your religious beliefs from your Constitutionally mandated duties, resign!

Sincerely,

Rael Nidess, M.D.
Marshall, TX
