Members of the U.S. Air Force will no longer be required to say “so help me God” during their enlistment oath.
We
are living in Obama's America, which is to say a post-Christian
society. Never in the history of this country has one president wrought
so much spiritual damage on this nation as the Sunni Muslim from Hawaii
by way of Kenya. Brick by brick, the foundation that has made this
country great and strong is being dismantled, and we have lost the
blessing of the Almighty God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.
And that's exactly the type of "change" Obama has had in mind from the beginning.
We
are pleased that the U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed our
client has a First Amendment right to omit the reference to a supreme
being in his reenlistment oath
“We
take any instance in which Airmen report concerns regarding religious
freedom seriously,” said Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, Air
Force Times reported Wednesday. The change in policy goes into effect
immediately.
“We are pleased that the U.S. Department of Defense has
confirmed our client has a First Amendment right to omit the reference
to a supreme being in his reenlistment oath,” Monica Miller, an attorney
with the AHA’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center, said in a statement
Wednesday, Air Force Times reported. “We hope the Air Force will respect
the constitutional rights of Atheists in the future.”
The Army, Navy and Marine Corps all give enlistees the option to say “so help me God.”
