The Christian Phrase Members Of The Military Are Being Banned From Saying Whether you are in the court room, or enlisting for public duty, the words so help me God have always been a part of the ceremony. The phrase is used as part of an oath, a dedication to honesty and duty. It looks like that is all about to change, however. According to recent reports, the Air Force has decided that enlisted officers and members will now have the choice to omit the phrase. The decision follows an incident in which an airman was unable to reenlist because he omitted those words from the required oath due to religious beliefs. The choice to remove the portion of the oath was reach after the Air Force consulted with the Department of Defense General Counsel. The policy will go into effect immediately. What do you think? Is it unnecessary for so help me God to be omitted? Has the extremist push for freedom of religion actually started a war against Christianity?
