Really? Link to those reports? Or is it just you projecting your own feelings as to what AFF would be like for you?
Interesting response.

Thanks for the links Tchocky.

Remember that the US military academies are strickly voluntary. The cadets can withdraw at any time. And once again congress has made no law establishing any religion.
Folks in the military tend to be more religious and more traditional than other folks. If you've lived on a military base you know it is old school. Stopping and getting out of your car at 4:30 when they play "To the Colors". Brunch at the Officers Club on Sunday mornings. Things haven't changed that much there in 50 years.

But the tradition of the military being subservient to the civilian government is too strong to worry about a conspiracy. I just don't think this would every happen in America.

The scarierst stories I have heard out of the Air Force Academy have been in regards to all the rapes of female students.
