Academy General Off Promotions List

The Senate has put off an Air Force proposal to promote the No. 2 officer at the Air Force Academy, a born-again Christian who has been criticized for proselytizing in memos and speeches. Commandant of Cadets Brig. Gen. Johnny Weida's name was on a list of 21 Air Force generals nominated to receive a second star, but the Senate did not act on his promotion.

The Air Force inspector general's office cleared Weida in June of six of seven allegations he improperly shared his faith, saying he did nothing wrong. That included his June 2003 "guidance" to cadets telling them they are "accountable first to your God." He also urged cadets and staff to pray.

Mikey Weinstein, an academy graduate whose Jewish sons say they have endured anti-Semitic slurs at the school, applauded the decision to remove Weida from the promotions list. "I believe that Johnny Weida lost his constitutional compass, which resulted in him violating the oath he took to preserve, support and defend the U.S. Constitution — as opposed to preserving and supporting the New Testament," he said.
