I knew Obama when...when Brokaw didn't know diddly

Now that the main stream media has thoroughly brainwashed the American public...are they finally admitting they were wrong about Obama?  ~ Norman E. Hooben

Media now claims to 'have no clue who Obama is' 

Brokaw...how can anyone in his position be so naive

Air Force Suspends Just War Doctrine Class

In the Just War Doctrine we are reminded that evil must not go unchecked.  It is the moral defense for going into war without which we would have succumbed to the king some 200 years ago.  For those who wish to do us harm any mention of the Just War Doctrine is paramount to an attack on their offense and therefor must be eliminated from the vernacular of the curriculum.  So what if the course has been taught for over twenty years...the left has penetrated every branch of our government including the United States Air Force and they (the left) have become more brazen as they reach higher goals and/or authority.  You can be certain that the United States Air Force Chief of Staff,  General Norton Schwartz, was well aware of the course referred to in the story below.  Because so many details have to be covered up there are ways and means to make it look as if somebody else was at fault for not only discovering this course but to do away with it altogether.  To make a long story short let me repeat my comment I made at the original post
"The real story behind all this should include the traitors from within...both the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force and the so-called spokesman, David Smith are active members of the CFR...if I had to bet my last nickel on it, there was some hanky-panky behind the scenes talks between the two and most likely with Obama adding a little encouragement to do away with such training...

Suspension of Air Force Class Over Bible Passages 'Misrepresents First Amendment,' Lawmaker Argues
A Texas lawmaker is asking for a detailed report from the Air Force over revelations that a “Just War Theory” class was suspended because it included passages from the Bible.
Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, sent a letter to Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley expressing his concern over the suspension of the class taught at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
“Suspending a course like this because of references to religious texts misrepresents the First Amendment,” Cornyn wrote in a letter provided exclusively to Fox News Radio. “Although our Founding Fathers rightly included language in the Constitution that precludes the Federal government from establishing an official religion, this language does not, as some have argued, protect them from exposure to religious references.”
The course had been taught by chaplains at Vandenberg Air Force Base for more than 20 years and used Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments to show missile launch officers that it can be moral to go to war.
But the Military Religious Freedom Foundation said the course violated the constitutional Separation of Church and State. The organization was created to “directly battle the far-right militant radical evangelical fundamentalists” in the military.
The MRFF filed a complaint last month on behalf of 31 missile launch officers – both instructors and students, Protestants and Catholics. The group threatened to file a class-action lawsuit had the Air Force not suspended the course.
But Cornyn said he believes the Air Force has a right to teach the course.
“Our military services, like our nation, are comprised of people representing all faiths,” Cornyn wrote. “However, that fact does not preclude military chaplains from teaching a course on just war theory – a theory that has been a part of moral philosophy and the law of war for centuries – merely because it has historically been predicated on religious texts.”
David Smith, the spokesman for the Air Force’s Air Education and Training Command, said the main purpose of the class was to help missile launch officers understand that “what they are embarking on is very difficult and you have to have a certain amount of ethics about what you are doing to do that job.”
“In an effort to serve all faiths we try to introduce none in our briefings and our lectures,” Smith told Fox News Radio. “Once we heard there were concerns we looked at the course and said we could do better.”
Smith said the inclusion of the Bible verses was an “inappropriate approach” in a “pluralistic society.”
“The use of Bible passage and other elements was just inappropriate,” he said.
The Air Force denied that political correctness had anything to do with the suspension of the class.
“The military is made up of people from all walks of life, all faiths,” Smith said. “It’s most appropriate to let folks practice their faith on their own and not try to introduce something else to them.”
Cornyn cautioned the Secretary of the Air Force to “ensure that a correct interpretation of the First Amendment is applied in resolving this situation” and asked for a detailed report.
