Following a public relations debacle in which a low-level commander gave Michael “Mikey” Weinstein a short-lived “victory”<\/a> in his attacks on religious freedom, the US Air Force reiterated to its commanders that they should not be directly dealing with Weinstein. \u00a0Quoting<\/a> retired US Army Chaplain (Col) Ron Crews:\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Military officials have told him the days of Weinstein’s bullying are over. Air Force commanders, he says, are being told that when the MRFF founder calls, “tell him Thank you for the call<\/em> and then send it up chain of command so they can start making correct decisions early on.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Air Force JAGs — Weinstein was once one — published “Weinstein guidance” as early as 2010<\/a>, advising commanders not to engage with or accede to external activists like Weinstein. Yet, commanders have continued to do so — and the Air Force has suffered the public relations hits as a result. The apparent unfettered access Weinstein had to Air Force commanders even drew congressional attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crews expressed hope that some senior leaders wanted to “do the right thing” — which included ending the apparent perception the US Air Force was granting undue deference to Mikey Weinstein, or that he was using the Air Force as a tool in his\u00a0personal vendetta against Christians.<\/p>\n
