| MRFF HELPS USAF SQUAD COMMANDERS STOP PROSELYTIZING GROUP COMMANDERFROM FORCING AIRMEN TO WATCH GRUESOME CHRISTIAN MOVIE “Mr. Weinstein, I am one of the USAF Squadron Commanders with whom you have been working very recently regarding a disturbing incident where our immediate rating superior (Group Commander)has been attempting to force us to have our unit’s airmen attend a mandatory event focussed on specifically spreading Christianity under the guise of increasing “Spiritual Readiness.”The mandatory event involved the watching of a particularly controversial Christian movie with which we know you and the MRFF are quite familiar. “We’re sorry but we can’t be any more specific than that for the obvious reasons. However, I did want to thank you so very much on behalf of all of us for your personal intercession with our Wing leadership to stop our Group Commander in his tracks.” — E-mail from one of a group of USAF Squadron Commanders |

“Thank you for stopping our proselytizing Group Commander” From: (Active Duty USAF Squadron Commander’s e-mail address withheld)Subject: Thank you for stopping our proselytizing Group CommanderDate: October 30, 2024 at 2:11:45 PM MDTTo: Information Weinstein <mikey@militaryreligiousfreedom.org> Mr. Weinstein, I am one of the USAF Squadron Commanders with whom you have been working very recently regarding a disturbing incident where our immediate rating superior (Group Commander) has been attempting to force us to have our unit’s airmen attend a mandatory event focussed on specifically spreading Christianity under the guise of increasing “Spiritual Readiness.” The mandatory event involved the watching of a particularly controversial Christian movie with which we know you and the MRFF are quite familiar. We’re sorry but we can’t be any more specific than that for the obvious reasons. However, I did want to thank you so very much on behalf of all of us for your personal intercession with our Wing leadership to stop our Group Commander in his tracks. That “Spiritual Readiness” event has been cancelled and our Group Commander is apparently in the process of actually being fired. Not sure yet whether the matter we brought to your and the MRFF’s attention was the main reason or perhaps the straw that broke the camel’s back. As we all told you, sir, this is not the first time our Group Commander has attempted to impose his evangelical Christian faith upon all of us in the Group. Lastly, and for what it’s worth, all of the Squadron Commanders who came to you and the MRFF for help here happen to be Christians ourselves. That should not matter as we all took an oath to the Constitution which in no way allows our Group Commander to have done what he did in trying to proselytize all of us with his views of our own Christian faith. Mr. Weinstein, thank you and the MRFF again for having our 6 at all times. You guys are just awesome! V/R (Active Duty USAF Squadron Commander’s name, rank, unit, and installation all withheld) |
