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.

Military Chaplain Warns That Serving The Constitution is Serving Satan

After fielding "multiple complaints" from service members specifically about Hernandez, MRFF finally filed an official complaint with the Department of Defense's (DoD) inspector general in April urging the powers that be to investigate Hernandez. After writing the essay in BarbWire, MRFF filed a new complaint this week. As of Friday past, Newsweek reports that neither the Air Force base where Hernandez works nor the DoD's inspector general has responded to requests for comment or to MRFF’s complaints.

US Air Force chaplain says Christians who tolerate other religions 'serve Satan'

Saturday, September 16, 2017

By: Patheos Hemant Methta, September 16, 2017

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."

Sonny Hernandez, an Air Force Reserve chaplain, has an article at BarbWire outright demanding that Christians in the Air Force violate the Constitution and the oath they took to preserve it by denying the right of non-Christians in the military to practice their own religions.

Farley convincingly demonstrates why having an independent Air Force is a bad idea. An additional reason that in the American case that the independent Air Force is a disaster is that the Air Force is chock full of total right-wing extremists. Like this Air Force chaplain.

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
