Subject: It’s worse than I realized
Hi Mike,
My husband is retired USAF KC-10 pilot, coming up on 20 years now with (government agency withheld) in (location withheld). I’m just a lowly 0-3, separated a long time ago, now, after two tours; got out and went to law school
We had a nephew of (husband’s name withheld), with wife and one year old baby, with us for the weekend. He’s a USAF (rank withheld) on leave from (installation withheld). We invited them to do their jet lag with us before hitting the rest of (husband’s name withheld)’s huge family for July 3-15.
He said evangelism has completely infiltrated the Air Force; he’s been asked more times than he can count if he has been saved, if he’d like to attend such-and-such evangelical church, if so-and-so’s pastor could please baptise their new baby. His new 0-4 boss handed out “Be saved” pamphlets and invitations to attend her church AT COMMANDER’S CALL, and when (name withheld) (that’s (husband’s name withheld) nephew) later asked his new 0-6 commander about it, the commander completely dismissed (name withheld)‘s query and said “she does that at every commander’s call.” WTF?! He said it’s been very tricky making friends because the other officers in his squadron have tightly knit social circles. . . within their churches. So while they often invite him and (nephew’s wife’s name withheld) to join them, it’ll be at a church picnic or fundraiser or church bowling night.
As bad, he said it was just as bad stateside in (location withheld). And this from a kid whose given name is (name withheld) as in, named for (name withheld).
Phew. (husband’s name withheld) and I were shocked. I’ll send a donation to you on payday.

Amazing that the commanding officers at the top on base allow the unit commanders to violate military regulations and the constitution with impunity, in 2023. They know the rules, and also the religious diversity in the ranks – so their dereliction of duty is egregious and without any excuse.
As an “educated” Army veteran, and an “actively” retired Army Reservist, I will be looking in to both the UCMJ and Constitutional
issues very soon. Having come from a Navy family of some senior standing ( by USNA ’39 ), I have also done some time “in the
ranks” with USAF. Since I am out of reach for those who would like to have me ‘under their thumb, there is some advantage to
that. This situation may have everything to do with 2024, since there are some who would stop at nothing to ‘sell out the country.

As a USN Retired CPO, I am fully aware that the Church to get their foot in the door, opposes MRFF. Our Constitution provides freedom of and FROM religion. The Republican Party is based on Mandated Religion for ALL. Read about the 30 years war and you might understand. Your Preacher may try to refute Earths Age (4.5 Billion years) by saying time has variations. Answer: Evidently The Atomic Bomb never worked because E equals speed of light (Meters per Second TIME) times mass. We need to rescind “one nation Under God” and in god we trust. It happened under IKE. RWReagan alias 666 said Freedom of religion Does Not provide Freedom from Religion. Impeachable??
Reagan definitely changed his position to pander insincerely to his audiences over time. At a Jewish temple in 1984, he assured the congregation that “…religion and the state must remain separate.”
Deal with it.
It is clear to me that there has been a decades long effort by the evangelical church to infiltrate the USAF and control our nukes. They want to initiate the End Times. I’m not convinced they can be stopped.
They’ll be stopped Lonnie. It’ll come from within their own Christian community.
Christians are beginning to realize these radicalized Christian Taliban are destroying the brand and the franchises are suffering.
I’m not saying they can’t do a lot of damage – current divisiveness – but they will be stopped!
Too many people out here that actually care about this country!
More wishful thinking.
