I think this goes nicely with the recent post about Christian Dominionism.

Air Force Academy Faces Religious Bias

"The fish stinks from the head, and the head of this fish is (Superintendent) John Rosa and (Commandant) Johnny Weida,” said an academy graduate whose son has been called “a (expletive) Jew” and “Christ killer” by other cadets, who were not punished
...
Commandant Brig. Gen. Johnny Weida, who has said he is a “born again” Christian, issued an e-mail message to personnel shortly after arriving in April 2003, urging all to “ask the Lord to give us the wisdom to discover the right. . . . The Lord is in control. He has a plan for . . . every one of us.”

Whitaker saw nothing wrong with the advisory, saying it was sent in observance of the National Day of Prayer, “something that is sanctioned by the highest levels of our government.”

- A month later, Weida issued a memo saying, “Remember, you are accountable first to your God. . . .” The Air Force oath requires allegiance to the U.S. Constitution first. "

2. Disgusting. The fish certainly does stink from the head and this country's

systems are rotten to the core. It will take decades to clean up this mess.
Assuming we ever get the chance.
