By: Independent Chris Baynes, September 17, 2017
A US Air Force chaplain has said Christians in the armed forces who tolerate people of other religions "serve Satan".
Captain Sonny Hernandez claimed those who supported the rights of non-Christian colleagues to practice their faith were "grossly in error".
The pastor is reserve chaplain for the 445th Airlift Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, which is home to thousands of servicemen and women.

After writing the essay in BarbWire, MRFF filed a new complaint this week.

It's not all that surprising that an article on conservative website BarbWire would argue against freedom of religion. It's very disturbing, though, when that article is written by a U.S. Air Force chaplain.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation wants Hernandez investigated by the Department of Defense for his inappropriate conduct - they reissued that call after his recent remarks - but they've only been told that an "investigation presently remains in open and ongoing investigatory status."

Idiot
Saturday, September 16, 2017
By: JQP September 16, 2017
In my post-service days, I've regularly been thanked by unassuming strangers for serving in defense of our country. Like so many others, I respond as graciously as I can while harboring a sometimes poorly-masked hesitance to accept such genuinely offered admiration. These strangers view veterans as a bloc. They don't grasp that we have our own bell curve, with the truly deserving heroes a few standard deviations to the right of the mean (far to the right of where I belong).
On the other end are the pitifully undeserving, who serially situate their own views, ideas, and appetites before the very idea of service. Selfishness is the trademark of these individuals, who are so wed to their mental narrowness and shallowness that they can't comprehend the depth of the idea of service, which starts with subjugation to team goals. They come in many forms. I call them idiots. Sometimes, you can catch one of these idiots out in the open. When you do, it's important to empty both rhetorical barrels.

Dear "Name Withheld"
This is in response to your bigoted babbling, a common communication received by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation from radicalized fundamentalist Christians who cannot address religious subjects with intelligence or integrity.
Attached for your information are the following rational explanations in plain language I have prepared for those like you who have difficulty discerning or discussing facts, history, law & truth regarding religion.
1. Jews&Christians - Our Ancient Family
2. Our Constitution, The Military & Any Religion
Hopefully, you will find them enlightening. Please feel free to share them with family & friends.
Shalom,
Brigadier General John Compere, US Army (Retired), Disabled American Veteran (Vietnam), MRFF Advisory Board Member, Texas rancher
