Is the U.S. Military Becoming a “Christian Nationalist Praetorian Guard”?

Air Force Academy Prepares Ideological Overhaul, With Erika Kirk Bringing “Bold Christian Faith”

William J. Astore, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who taught at the academy for six years. “More than anything, the appointment of Kirk to the board demonstrates the ongoing politicization of the service academies.”

“They are interested in turning the military into a Christian nationalist praetorian guard.”

The academy’s oversight board records show leaders dismantling DEI to align with Trump directives. Critics warn the military is becoming “a Christian nationalist praetorian guard.” warn the military is becoming “a Christian nationalist praetorian guard.”

This is beyond sickening, and I call on every current and former member of the military to speak out in protest. Call your Congressmen and Senators to stop the assault on the Constitution with the religification of our service academies.

Are we actually in the Matrix or a bad dream?

The military that I knew would never stand for this interference. There are so many good men and women in the armed forces who deserve better than a White Christian Nationalist creature such as Erika Kirk interfering in the training of our future officers.

Pete “Warboy” Hegseth’s newfound religion is a sham, a ploy, leaning into the zealots of the MAGA base where all sense of reality has melted.

Freedom of and from religion is our basic Constitutional right as outlined in 1st Amendment:

• Religion: The Establishment Clause prohibits the government from creating a state religion or favoring one over another, while the Free Exercise Clause protects individuals’ right to worship as they choose, or not at all.
