      <![CDATA[Pam, if you'd done five minutes of research, you might have come across the Cadet Chapel fact sheet on USAFA's website, which states: "There is no significance to this number (of spires)." You can read the entire fact sheet at http://www.usafa.edu/superintendent/pa/factsheets/chapel.htm.<br>
<br>
Also, just to be clear: are we talking about the same Academy that just dedicated a chapel for Wiccans and Pagans?

What violations of law, Air Force policy, ethics in general or basic human decency does see cite in any of her recent theoretical pieces about "the Air Force Academy is bathed in the blood of the lamb".

      <![CDATA[The Christian Dominionist  movement has grown exponentially in the armed forces, especially in our nations service academies where young minds, already burdened with academic and military subjects are further laden with dogmatic Christian proselytizing; often command centered and coercive, making it difficult if not impossible to resist.<br>
<br>
This persistent  and pervasive proselytizing is abundantly provided by a number of militant Christian organizations from Focus on the Family to Campus Crusade for Christ Military Mission and endorsed by key members of the Command Staff and Faculty. <br>
<br>
Pat Robertson's book, "The Secret Kingdom," is a blueprint that outlines the need for an obedient, all-Christian armed force to take the reins of government and to usurp the US Constitution and replace it with Biblical Law.
