No more military chaplains? Soldiers court-martialed for their Christian faith?
PolitiFact readers wanted to know if headlines across websites such as Breitbart.com and MrConservative.com last week were true.
The recent hubbub has roots in the early 2000s, when a man named Mikey Weinstein watched his sons follow in his footsteps at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
The Jewish students both faced Christian proselytizing, the family says, and in some cases, anti-Semitic slurs.

An Air Force task force investigated accusations that the academy created a discriminatory climate, after a 2004 survey showed cadets complained that evangelical Christians had pressured Jews and other Christians. It found a need for policy guidance for commanders and supervisors regarding religious expression, not just at the academy, but across the Air Force.
In 2006, he turned his attention full-time to his nonprofit Military Religious Freedom Foundation, saying he was fighting off “far-right militant radical evangelical religious fundamentalists.”

As a 22 year Vet, you sir do not and will never represent me as a Soldier. Those who choose to not be part of any religious activities, are free to do so. Be to make Soldiers feel embarrassed for their personal beliefs is about as un American as you can get.

I am ASHAMED and embarrassed that you have had anything to do with the Military of this great Nation.

Militancy…, is a term applied to those you have an anti-peace agenda! It may an an unfair “sound of inference” against our most noble military which functions as a PEACE LOVING institution that is equipped to defend PEACE at every level.
Mikey Weinstein, you are a militant, self righteous and obnoxious and arrogant irritant to all peace loving societies and institutions!
