"Underground" Group of Cadets Says Air Force Academy Controlled by Evangelicals

"Underground" Group of Cadets Says Air Force Academy Controlled by Evangelicals
(Photo: tab2space)

An anonymous cadet at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA ) spoke out against alleged religious discrimination at the school last week, saying that some cadets must pretend to be evangelical Christians in order to maintain standing among their peers and superiors. In an email to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), the whistleblower stated that he is part of an "underground group" of about 100 cadets who cannot rely on proper channels to confront evangelical pressure.

The email, published by Veterans Today, applauds the MRFF from the "underground" and indicates that the academy is "literally overrun with Christian conservative fanatics."

The MRFF and allies from a myriad of civil rights and interfaith groups sent a letter Tuesday to the Department of Defense (DoD) detailing the cadet's email and other startling complaints, including testimony from the parents of an academy graduate who believe their daughter was "methodically brain washed" by a fundamentalist group there, demanding an investigation of the academy and the evangelical academy ministry Cadets For Christ.

The MRFF is also demanding the DoD pressure the USAFA to publicly release the results of a study of the religious climate at the academy.

Academy leadership announced last month that the results would not be released, which angered the anonymous cadet who contacted the MRFF.

Results of the so-called "Climate Study" leaked to the press, and "353 cadets (almost 1 out of every 5 survey participants) reported having been subjected to unwanted religious proselytizing, and 23 cadets (13 of them Christians) reported living 'in fear of their physical safety' because of their religious beliefs," according to the MRFF.

Mikey Weinstein, a USAFA graduate and MRFF founder, told Truthout that USAFA Superintendent Lt. Gen. Mike Gould was dishonest about the results of the Climate Study, and told the public that everything was fine at the academy without releasing the actual results. He said it's time for a legitimate investigation of the "fundamentalist culture" in the academy.

"That commander's report belongs to the public because [Gould] lied to the American people," Weinstein said. "Until August of this year, I was supporting Gould and the Academy, now it is obvious that was a mistake."

The USAFA issued a press release earlier this month after the MRFF alleged that dozens of cadets had come forward and complained about the improper and cult-like evangelism practiced by Cadets for Christ.

"Upon learning of this allegation, Lt. Gen. Mike Gould, USAFA superintendent, directed an immediate review of the claim," the release states. "To date, the allegation is not substantiated. Throughout his tenure as Superintendent, General Gould has repeatedly emphasized the necessity for religious accommodation and respect."

Weinstein received the email from the anonymous cadet after this initial spat with the academy and Gould.

The email describes a group of cadets who don't fit the Protestant evangelical stereotype; they're Catholics, mainstream Protestants, LGBT, atheists or agnostic. They tell Weinstein that his earlier advice to "trust the system" and take their grievances up the chain of command has failed, and they are forced to pretend to be something they are not. In order to achieve and prosper in the academy, these cadets pretend to be evangelicals and even attend Bible studies to avoid being "outed."

"Despite the Cadet Honor Code we all lie about our lives," the anonymous cadet writes. "We have to. We don't have a choice. Thus we are all 'invisible' to our tormentors. They will never find us. My own parents don't know. Only my fiancée knows and he/she is one of my classmates and a fellow member of our underground group. I keep 'Christian' books and 'Christian' CD's in my room so others will be fooled and leave me alone and not suspect that I'm not actually with the USAFA 'Christianity is the Only Way' program here, even though I consider myself to be a Christian."

The cadet reports that, in response to the MRFF's attempt to hold USAFA leaders accountable, the academy's public affairs office included anti-MRFF blog posts from www.christianfighterpilot.com in a blanket email containing news clips about the USAFA to the entire academy.

The blog, constantly at odds with Weinstein and the MRFF, reports deflecting a MRFF lawsuit earlier this year. Weinstein said the MRFF is considering future legal action.

In its letter to the DoD, the MRFF maintains that the Christian Fighter Pilot "God and Country" blog has spread personal attacks and lies about the foundation. The MRFF is also concerned about a blog post included in the mass email regarding ministry group Cadets for Christ, although it is unclear if the blogger is associated with Cadets for Christ.

Cadets and graduates, as well as concerned parents of several cadets and graduates, have contacted the MRFF with serious concerns about Cadets for Christ, according to the letter to Gates.

The letters details the startling testimony of two Catholic parents of a 2010 graduate who, at first, were happy to hear that their daughter joined a Bible study group at the academy. That was before they discovered that their daughter was being taught that her "career should be that of a wife and mother," and in Biblical terms, "the female is the sheep and the male is the shepherd."

"Our daughter was methodically brain washed into believing that she was unsaved in the Catholic religion," the anonymous parents wrote in an email to the MRFF. "During spring break 2009, she urgently asked that we read the Bible everyday in order to 'receive the grace of God and be saved.' This manner of speech took us completely off guard."

"This invisible force has rocked our family to the core. Two sisters no longer talk to one another. A mother has been asked to no longer contact her daughter. A father tries very hard to keep some sense of equilibrium in the family. This is what our family has become. Nevertheless, we will continue our attempts to bring our daughter back to us - we will never give up hope."

"As parents, it is very difficult to see your child change in a manner that you no longer recognize her as your own. We grossly underestimated the power of this group. Being at such a geographical distance, coupled with the rigors of the USAFA, it becomes more difficult to monitor behavioral changes until they have taken deep root. Do you have any idea how it feels to grieve the loss of a child who is alive and healthy? THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN!"

The Christian Fighter Pilot blog claims the MRFF attack on Cadets for Christ for being a "cult" is hypocritical, and a cult has every right to be a cult as long as it does not break any civil or military laws.

"The restrictions on the free exercise of what Weinstein calls a 'Christian cult' are no different than those on any other faith or non-faith group in the military, including what some may have called a 'pagan cult' for which the Air Force Academy created a chapel earlier this year," according to the blog. "The fact that Weinstein has heartburn over the Christian content of this group is irrelevant to their right to free exercise, though it does highlight the fact his goal isn't 'religious freedom' after all."

As of Wednesday, the Cadets for Christ web site appears to be down. The Colorado Independent reported that its organizers did not respond to a request for an interview.

The MRFF represents nearly 20,000 members of the military, more than 90 percent of them are Christians, according to Weinstein, who is a member of the Truthout board of advisers.

Well try reading a little on democracies around the world and see which direction they take when the cease to be democracies and take special notes on how it happened. You have to have the military.

I left USAFA for Notre Dame in 1962. During the Vietnam war, Fr. Hesburgh had an outdoor mass by the library during which Catholic protesters against the war placed their draft cards in a large silver bowl on the altar. They were burned at communion.

I think it might be appropriate for Catholics and other christians currently at USAFA to have a mass/ service during which they burn their baptismal certificates.

These "Christians" are the guys who will fly around in airplanes armed with nuclear weapons. These are the guys who will have the authority to launch nuclear missiles from their silos upon receipt of orders from the President.

Their fellow nut-case believers in Biblical prophecy, the rapture and the second coming of Jesus are already in those positions. It takes two officers, each with a key, to initiate a missile launch. That's all that stands between the world and nuclear holocaust.

These rabid weirdos believe that nuclear war is God's Way of cleansing the Earth of unbelievers.

This is one of the many reasons that we need nuclear disarmament.

The USAFA is across the street from Jim Dobson's Focus on the Family and Ted Haggard's New Life Church. There are multiple reports in the local COlorado Springs press, controlled by the right wing, that evangelical Christian groups like those and many more have free access to the campus and to the cadets. Anyone else is barred from campus or permits are simply misplaced. Colo. Springs is a digustingly evangelical town, even though the crazies are a minority, and the Air Force is heavily populated by crazy evangelicals. It has become truly a Crusader force, and needs to be fixed before our democracy is irrevocably damaged.

What's frightening is the extreme edge of the evangelical movement hungers for the 'end times'--the mass extermination of mankind.

For those who argue that these wackjobs don't represent Christianity, remember that Americans in general feel that the equivalent whackjobs in the Middle East do represent Islam, so it is equally valid to argue that this scum represents Christianity. These guys are just plain evil. There is no other way to describe it, and are the reason why zealots are fit only to be eradicated.

If you read the Biblical accounts closely, this is the same mentality that encouraged Judas Iscariot (Iscariot is from the Latin word for terrorist or assassin) to try to force Jesus to mount a violent revolution against the Romans. These whackjobs are cut from the same cloth.

The chaplaincy used to be an ecumenical service branch with normal, sane priests, ministers, and rabbis (I don't recall imams being included, nor leaders of other religions such as Buddhism), Apparently they too have been silenced, which is an atrocity, especially if they are unable to counsel cadets seeking sanity.

It is up to us to expose the totalitarian agenda of the Religious Right at every opportunity. We can't afford to wait until entire segments of our military and government are under the control of these people. We need to speak up each and every time a fundamentalist opens their mouth--no matter where--to proselytize. I've found it very effective to carry a small bicycle air horn in my purse and use it every time I encounter someone proselytizing on the street, in the grocery store, at my front door or anywhere else. They need to learn that there will be a penalty for violating our right to religious freedom and freedom from religion. I also speak up every time they proselytize in chatrooms and make it a point to visit their chatrooms and websites to familiarize myself with their agenda and tactics. I suggest that those of you who believe in freedom do the same.

The freedom of religion is one thing, but the military is a federal institution, and as such there needs to be special rules. The military cannot be allowed to be in the business of setting a standard for religious observance within the ranks. In organization it should be staunchly secular otherwise it becomes not a tool of the people but a tool of a religious minority. It is crossing the line, in regards to the separation of church and state, for informal rules to dictate religious observance of a particular type, or indeed religious observance of any type at all. There must be strict rules that restrict religious organization within the military and other governmental institutions. If they are not there now, then they need to be devised and implemented forthwith. The security of the state is at stake because when loyalty to one's country is trumped by the loyalty to one's religion, we have a major problem.

We live in a constitutional democracy where there is a separation of church and state. The founding fathers were fully aware of the dangers of religious fanaticism. What is going on at our Air Force Academy is not supported by the Constitution and is highly illegal. Are faith based groups prepared to change defense policy? Of course not. Is it possible to force these nuts to take their hands off the military? Of course.
In Guatemala and Mexico, Christian Evangelical pastors have been recently uncovered laundering money for drug cartels through real estate holding companies they established in the United States under the cover of church business. Such churches are not transparent, not governable.
