I feel that the United States Air Force is condoning/supporting religion in official government functions - violating my (and everybody elses) 1st Admendment rights.
I have served in the United States Air Force for 3 1/2 years. As a condition of my promotion I am required to attend a 5 week course called "Airman Leadership School." It is also AF policy that students attend a MANDATORY graduation ceremony, which has an invocation (prayer) as a part of the OFFICIAL proceedings. I've done a little looking around, and have found literally hundreds of similar cases in the civilian world, but none in the military.
It appears to me that the AF is blatently supporting religion - and is therefore behaving unconstitutionally.
5 days 'till graduation and I still haven't figured out what to do.
