> Well now,
> Mikey, I sent the most recent email I received from your organization to young USMA enlisted man just back from a deployment ordered by President Obomber. He sent this Utube to me to watch and suggested I send it to you. He had some other comments for you but I chose to edit them because of your sensitivities to anyone in the military who thinks worship is ok.

Dear (name withheld),

What is a USMA enlisted man? I would imagine you’re referring to a formerly enlisted cadet at USMA. If that were the case it would be impossible for this person to just be coming back from deployment, since anyone at USMA is in TRADOC and non-deployable. I’d love to field these mystery questions that you think might affect our sensitivities. Considering it is our primary mission to defend the rights of service members to worship as they see fit without any intervention from their chain of command, it’s curious that you might think we have an issue with worship alone.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Blake A. Page
Military Religious Freedom Foundation
Special Assistant to the President
Director of West Point Affairs


Well now,
Sorry your lordship, there was a typing error on my part. You made a mistake in your assumption about a cadet of something. It should have been USMC as in United States Marine Corps. Does that help? I sent your email on by third party to this young enlisted man. Let you know what he says about your assumption from West Point on deployment.

So you are an employee of West Point Military Academy? That is just wonderful, congratulations on your work there. I am sure you are making us all proud. What does the Special Assistant to the President do for the Academy or does he serve just the President. Oh, maybe it is the President of Military Religious Freedom Foundation’s President to whom you are the Special Assistant to and you are a Directory of Westoint Affairs? Now, I get it. So what are the Affairs of which you are Director of West Point?
Is that the town of West Point? There is a West Point, Virginia, it used to smell pretty bad because of the paper mill there but it’s been cleaned up a lot recently. Or is it West Point New York on the River. I have never been there but it could smell bad too if the wind was blowing in the right direction.

I think I have it figured out, you are Director of affairs that deal with West Point, and I assume the army. I assume there is a Director of Annopolis, Colorado Springs, and maybe Quantico? And what about a Director of New London? So there could be five Directors of Affairs total, would they all be Special Assistants to the President Mikey?

Well I am not sure I have all this straight but you may feel free to set me straight on anything you think I might misunderstand about your organization. It certainly is one group that deserves admiration from the public.

Actually, I have no idea what a formerly enlisted cadet at USMA is nor why said former cadet would be in TRADOC And non-deployable. Now, wasn’t their a little hamlet in Vietnam or Laos or Cambodia named Tradoc? Maybe but maybe not spelled the same. I don’t suppose there is a Director of Tradoc Affairs, that would make six Directors and another possible Special assistant to the President Mikey.

As to fielding questions of sensitivity, I don’t think I have any mysteries about your sensitivities, no none at all. While it is your declared primary mission to defend the rights of survive members to worship as they see fit it appears that you do not want officers of the US Military to order troops to worship anywhere. I do not think you want anyone to worship while in uniform. That is not much of a mystery. But those in your organizations do exhibit some sensitivities to religion, at least that is just an opinion I hold, of course you have every right to refuse me that opinion because you are sensitive to it.

So carry on Mr Director, keep those troops from praying on military time. I just got an email from the family member of that young man you don’t believe just came back from deployment. The young man said, …don’t waste your time with that crowd… Oh yes, sorry, I edited the way he said some of that so as to not offend your sensitivities, noticed it did not quote him directly Director.

Oh I read your last sentence, again. Now it is all very clear. Alone. Worship alone. No one else around. Not an issue. Not part of organized worship. Worship to yourself. Keep your views to yourself. Do not express your self to others I assume about anything religious other than if it’s about not worship or no group worship then you can raise all the hell you like cause it’s not about religion, it’s bout freedom from religion of anyone else who might be in the state of religion or thinking religion, freedom from religion if some one tells you to be religious or that it’s ok to be religious as long as no officer ordered you to be religious in worship. See, once you explained it, it makes perfectly good sense, Military Religious Freedom means freedom from military religion.

Great. I never thought much of military religious freedom either, military makes a terrible religion. What do you call a person who practices the faith of a Military Religious Freedom, a MilitaryBaptist, MilitaryMethodist, MilitaryCatholic, no wait, MilitaryJew or MilitaryMuslim. We certain should include the MilitarySatanist and the MilitaryAtheist.
You know there bound to be more military religion freedom religions we ain’t never heard of. You doing good work Director of West Point Affairs. Do they really have that many affairs at West Point that they need a Director to keep them straight. Do the have Military Freedom of Affairs too?
