4. An AF grad was shocked at his son's experience there
There was a tv segment on this some months ago in conjunction with the Lutheran chaplain who left the Academy.

A Jewish man who was very proud of his AF service and his AF Academy education was pleased to encourage his son to attend as well. He was shocked when his son confessed he was very close to decking the next classmate who told him that he, as a Jew, was a Christ-killer and destined for eternal damnation. The atmosphere had changed that much.

We all know Bush believes he's on a mission from God, and has promoted generals who agree with him and gotten rid of those who disagree. This AF thing is of a piece with everything else Bush has done. He talks religion and because he uses the same words the mainstream uses they think his god is the same as theirs. Not so. Bush's god is one mean, nasty, vindictive, s.o.b.

But we already knew this.
