Re: “UPDATE: Academy's Born and Fullerton found "negligent"”
This is exactly why so many cadets and staff at the AFA do not trust the leadership with information about sexual harassment and any sort of bigotry. The fallout from this will be absolutely nothing. When wrongdoing occurs and the leadership is immune from shady business, how will all their subordinates feel when they are wronged? There is nowhere to turn.

Re: “Academy accused of targeting religious group”
The non-credible internet troll (I know that's redundant) strikes again! Ender continues defending something he or she never had a chance to defend in uniform! We might listen if you actually had some experience or connection to our military. Unfortunately, this town is full of religious fanatics who will stop at nothing in their quest for religious domination. Here's to hoping that Ender continues building a narrative based on picking lines from news articles in order to sound "informed" about the events at USAFA. Have you heard of and seen citizens who are infatuated with pretending to be in the military and go above and beyond with their stories? Report Ender to http://www.stolenvalor.com.

Re: “Freshman cadet 'counseled' for proselytizing in e-mail”
Citizen soldier. Just as Christians call themselves soldiers. Clever. You don't have to be ashamed that you have no affiliation with the military or USAFA. I'm ok as long as everyone knows you don't bring anything to this fight but talking points lifted from news articles.
We can't reason with you who can't see or use reason.
When everyone is against me at the AFA, it's impossible to approach anyone with my run-ins with harassment.
In the same way the AFA has swept sexual assault under the rug here, the religious minority and non-believers also get swept under the rug.

Just keep flapping your gums, Ender.
Zero credibility.
Zero experience.
Zero service to my country.
Zero patriotism.
You might as well be a terrorist.

Re: “Freshman cadet 'counseled' for proselytizing in e-mail”
Wow, this article is full of no surprises. Ender posts his ignorant ramblings yet again. He doesn't work there or live there or is even affiliated with the military. Just a wannabe who thinks this issue with proseletizing doesn't exist because, wait for it, because he isn't even there to personally see theses issues first hand. As a USAFA grad and current member of the staff here, I can attest to this harassment and undue religious influence. Ender, crawl back to your cyber hole and your game of World of Warcraft.
Also no surprise is the pathetic response by the leadership here. How long will they ignore the edicts of the Chief of Staff? How long will they continue to allow victims to suffer? Apparently, the resiliency day on Thursday meant absolutely NOTHING to them. Ender, you obviously have no idea about this since you are in no way a part of USAFA, but just a troll. They can get up on stage, spend huge amounts of dollars on a musical, and spout the party line about preventing suicides. What of the cadets and faculty and staff at USAFA who feel completely assaulted by this email? If we have any more people killing themselves because the leadership sits idly by and does NOTHING about this religious intolerance, the blood is on their hands. Hear it again, the blood is on your hands USAFA leadership.

Re: “'I'm done with him'”
Dave Hughes said: "I am sick and tired of all you atheists, agnostics, witch, and earth worshippers trying to FORCE the AFA Command to follow YOUR dictates as to what is, or is not, 'religiously acceptable or 'religious biased.'"
Dave forgot to mention that he also thinks women belong at home and in the kitchen, to cook and clean for their male masters. So once all women and non-Christians are out of the AFA, then it will become YOUR ideal place? How about the darkies, Dave? Where do people of color belong in your sick and twisted world? Get your head out and wake up. We're not stuck in your land of the lost, 60 years ago, trying to make sense of why women work and why people of color are just like you and why it shouldn't matter what you believe when attending a government-taxpayer funded institution that is built on the Constitution of the United States. It should matter what deluded people like you try to foist on everyone else. It should matter that you are the problem. It should matter that you are trying to flip the argument around to say that you, part of the evangelical dominionist majority, are being oppressed by those few of us who want separation of church and state.
Once all the bigots like you have gone away, this world will be a better place.
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Re: “UPDATE (No. 2): Academy dean of faculty to retire”
Finally time to act like an Lt instead of like a cadet. It would serve you well to actually think about your actions and get those core values instilled in yourself, think outside your narrow world view, and realize that you're about to leave your little world of make-believe.
You should also consider putting your twitter account on lockdown, especially since your front page reads: "'F**k it, 2 weeks of school left.' Not just an attitude, a lifestyle." So, "F**k it" is your AFA lifestyle? What ever happened to Excellence in All We Do?
Doesn't do well to preach about how wonderful it is at the AFA on this site while preaching the complete opposite on your social media site. This is not good for building your credibility when you're a perfect example of the problems I'm talking about.
Hopefully you'll shed your immature ways and realize that people out there want to do you and us harm. This is real life, son. You'll fight for your country and you might lose many friends in the process, like I have. To the dozens of my close comrades who have given their life in the service of their country, and for you, I wouldn't ever dare tell them that "F**k it" is my attitude and lifestyle. I sincerely hope that you recage your attitude and grow up. We're waiting for Lts to lead the AF, not the current you.
