Why Wasn't Bible-based Air Force Class Shut Down Sooner?

The U.S. Air Force has ended a course taught for 20 years at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California called "Christian Just War Theory." As part of the course, chaplains used Bible passages to support the idea that war can be morally justified. The class was suspended the same day the complaint was filed, but the very fact that such a complaint was necessary is cause for concern.

David Smith, spokesman for the USAF's Air Education and Training Command, admitted that "the use of Bible passage and other elements was just inappropriate" in a "pluralistic society." But certainly this should have been apparent much sooner. If no one knew, it's an egregious lack of oversight to say the very least. But how could no one have known? A total of 31 missile-launch officers were represented in the complaint that led to the class' suspension. One finds it hard, if not impossible, to believe that their objections entirely unknown prior to the complaint being filed.

. . . by the Prussians and their German allies in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the Dreyfuss Affair revealed that the majority of the French officer corps no longer represented a secular, professional tradition, but instead came from an intensely religious (and not especially effective as soldiers) fraternity of Christians.

Disturbing, no?

And whether they covered all passages in the bible that pertain to war.

And the whole "Faith Based Initiatives" thing which continues well-funded even today. Religious war??

from Colorado Springs and the Air Force.
