Christianist AF Takes a Knuckle-Rapping

In response to what was becoming a stalemate over an airman who was trying to reenlist, the U.S. Air Force has directed its support offices to allow both enlisted members and officers to omit the words "So help me God" from oaths for enlistment and officer appointments if an airman chooses. The change became effective immediately with the Sept. 17 announcement. 10 U.S.C. 502, 5 U.S.C. 3331 and Title 32 contain the oaths of office—the Air Force had interpreted them as requiring the specific religious expression
Note that the AF requested an opinion from the DoD General Counsel on the matter. I would not be a bit surprised in the response did not contain a variant of "you stupid fucks" in it.

  1. What's gonna happen to this airman next will probably make a good book.
