I am appalled that your stupid org had to get involved and as such had a training session canceled because of the speakers background in Christianity.
As a 20+ year Marine vet, not many of us agree with your bullshit. Suck it up- whether he was a Jew or Christian Trainer- so what? Did you get offended? I guess I’m not too surprised you having served in the Air Force.
Totally pathetic organization.

Response from MRFF Advisory Board Member Martin France:
Dear American Patriot,
Thanks for your 20+ years of service to support and defend the Constitution (the one that prohibits gov’t endorsement of one religious perspective over another). I’m sorry that your training session was canceled (I’m not sure what the subject was, if it was specifically the Gettysburg training or something else), but the fact that you knew the religious background of the person conducting the training is an issue. The military is not a place for official religious training. Everyone can choose to do that on their own time–if they think they need it. In the case of the canceled Gettysburg training, a simple google search made it very clear to participants in the program that the primary speaker’s perspective was purely Christian. In fact, when I google him, I couldn’t find anything in the first two pages that were religiously oriented–there was no indication that he had any particular expertise in Gettysburg history. Still, he was going to be paid to conduct the training.
You’re right. It’s shouldn’t matter the religion of someone conducting training or this nature or what (presumably) you had canceled. In the Gettysburg case, it was USMC JAGs that were offended and that’s why they contacted the MRFF. They wanted a history lesson–not a religious lecture.
Thanks for contacting the MRFF

Dear Name Withheld: rather then repeating false information about the reasons why Mikey and the MRFF acted in this case, you spew false accusations and libel. Is that what your religion teaches you to do? How sad that you fail to respect the truth, and also fail to respect the religious freedom of all in the military, unlike Mikey and the MRFF Board.
