Well this'll get the christo-fascisti up in arms no doubt. The Air Force has decided that it's not really such a good idea to piss in the spiritual wheeties of the non-christian amongst them. Sort of.

The Air Force issued new religion guidelines to its commanders yesterday that caution against promoting any particular faith - or even "the idea of religion over nonreligion" - in official communications or functions like meetings, sports events and ceremonies.

The guidelines discourage public prayers at official Air Force events or meetings other than worship services, one of the most contentious issues for many commanders. But they allow for "a brief nonsectarian prayer" at special ceremonies like those honoring promotions, or in "extraordinary circumstances" like "mass casualties, preparation for imminent combat and natural disasters."

The guidelines apply not just to the academy, but also to the entire Air Force. They will be made final later this year after Air Force generals meet and consider recommendations from their commanders.

Rabbi Resnicoff said some Air Force members he had spoken with "mistakenly assumed" that because the military encouraged "spiritual strength as a pillar of leadership," they were given license to promote strong belief in Christianity within it.

But one outspoken critic, Mikey Weinstein, an academy graduate from Albuquerque, said the guidelines meant nothing because the Air Force had refused to discipline officers who overstepped the boundaries.

"All this does is increase the level of confusion," Mr. Weinstein said.

And we'll all be reading about this again. You'd think in light of all the scandals that have flowed forth from the AF Academy they'd break the code sooner or later on how to deal with miscreants. Absent another epic scandal soon, I guess not.
