Air Force Bigotry

If it were up to me, I'd have shut the Air Force Academy down long ago on account of the huge rape scandal. Instead, they "fixed it", and now there are situations like this.

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — A Pentagon investigation into complaints that evangelical Christians at the Air Force Academy have bullied Jews and cadets of other faiths found no overt discrimination, but "certainly insensitivity," military officials said Wednesday.

"There is a lack of awareness on the part of some faculty and staff, and perhaps some senior cadets, as to what constitutes appropriate expressions of faith," said Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, Air Force deputy chief of staff for personnel.

The investigators' report said academy leaders and the Air Force should clarify policies on religious expression so religious minorities do not feel discriminated against or pressured.

At the risk of being unpopular, I place blame for this situation squarely on the Air Force. I've known a handful of good Air Force personnel, but by and large the Air Force requires very little discipline, and it becomes a case of "you get what you pay for".
