The military now leads the way in a lot of immoral behavior, where five years ago it led the way in honor, courage, and commitment. We need a moral fighting force.
US Navy Chaplain (LtCmdr) Wes Modder — almost drummed out of the service in 2015 after homosexuals complained about his religious beliefs — recently retired, and he expressed frustration that his career was essentially ended by the unjust homosexual complaint: Read more
Four years after Jason Torpy’s third-party atheist complaint brought an end to a children’s live nativity in Bahrain, the US Air Force Academy continues the same tradition this week:
The Christmas tree and Hanukah Menorah lighting ceremony begins at 5 p.m. with a Hanukah [sic] and Nativity story performed by children.
In 2012 Jason Torpy, vicariously offended that a Naval base in Bahrain would allow its children to re-enact the nativity scene, filed an IG complaint alleging the kids were violating the US Constitution. The local Read more
Air Force Chief of Staff General David Goldfein recently explained how modern technology has changed the “pilot’s prayer”:
“When I grew up flying F-16s, the pilot’s prayer was, ‘Please God, let me find my target and not let my buddies down,’” Goldfein said. “It’s changed. In precision warfare and the information age, it’s ‘Please God, let me hit the right target, and not let my buddies down…”
(Not to be confused with the Fighter Pilot Prayer, also known as “The Lord is my Crew Chief.”)
General Goldfein’s point was that technology has advanced to the point that pilots almost always hit what they aim at — so their prayer now is that they’re aiming at the right target (a surprisingly difficult challenge in the fog and friction of war, sometimes).

As promised, Rabbi Hanoch Teller has continued his previously discussed series on Jews in the US military with the continuing story of Simcha Goldman, who became famous as the Airman who sued, won, and then lost in Goldman v Weinberger — and ultimately Read more
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, last week Charisma Magazine listed the “Five People Donald Trump Should Be Thankful for,” and coming in at #5 was an unusual pick: Michael “Mikey” Weinstein.
Really? [emphasis added]
5. Mikey Weinstein and the Freedom From Religion Foundation…
Relentless legal threats over the public expression of faith by Mikey Weinstein (of Military Religious Freedom Foundation), the ACLU and Freedom From Religion Foundation backfired when Americans raised their voices through their vote.
At least to some, it seems the constant attacks on Read more
The homosexual community has vaunted the service of US Air Force MajGen Patricia “Trish” Rose, even presenting her with an award for being the “highest ranking openly LGBT service member in the US military.”
Still, members of the homosexual community likely know there are actually higher ranking individuals who are homosexual, though they’re not “open” — at least not officially.
In fact, someone who outranks MajGen Rose recently took their new position in the military — and their homosexuality is apparently an open secret. This became an issue because lower level commanders were tripping over themselves directing their subordinates to mind their p’s and q’s regarding homosexuality — comments they most specifically addressed toward their chaplains.
Understandably, this Read more
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of Read more
