The Air Force mixed up the 1st and 5th amendments to the U.S. Constitution in a widely distributed test to airmen.

That’s according to Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, who noted that as a result, the online training program incorrectly said religious freedom is a “commonly violated civil liberty.”

“It’s extremely disconcerting to see this happening, from the perspective of screwing up the Bill of Rights and emphasizing as a fact that [religious freedom] is a commonly violated civil liberty in the Air Force,” he said.”This plays right into the narrative of the extreme right wing of fundamentalist Christians.”

    Are you sure the Air Force does not think the First Amendment is the correct answer?

    The military like the police don’t believe in the US Constitution when you look at military intelligence spying on the American people since the 1920s.
