Activist Wants Congressional Hearing Re: Officer’s Participation in Christian Fundraising Video
by QuestionGirl • 9:00 pm

From the AP:

The activist whose complaint prompted a Pentagon probe into officers’ participation in a Christian group’s fundraising video is calling for congressional hearings.

Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, says it isn’t enough that seven military officers, including four generals, were found to have violated ethics rules by appearing in uniform in the Christian Embassy video.

While the Army and Air Force are considering disciplinary action, Weinstein says Congress should hold oversight hearings into the Defense Department’s failure to separate church and state.

Weinstein says the Pentagon inspector general’s report reveals a “long and deep collusion with a fundamentalist, religious missionary organization.”
