"So Help Me God" Now Optional in Air Force Academy Honor Oath

Air Force Academy cadets now have the option whether or not to repeat the phrase “so help me, God” when reciting the school’s honor code.

The Academy’s Honor Review Committee voted to make the statement optional following a complaint by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, reports Fox News, and says the decision was made to help build a “culture of dignity and respect” for all students.


“Here at the Academy, we work to build a culture of dignity and respect, and that respect includes the ability of our cadets, Airmen and civilian Airmen to freely practice and exercise their religious preference — or not,” said Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson in a prepared statement.


The complaint came after the Colorado Springs Independent newspaper published a photograph of a poster at the academy, which included the oath, and then forwarded the photo to MRFF President Mikey Weinstein, a frequent critic of Christianity in the armed forces.


But Weinstein, while applauding the decision to make the oath optional, questioned how it will be applied, reports The Associated Press.


If the person who leads the oath includes the words, Weinstein said, cadets who don’t say the phrase may feel vulnerable.


“What does it mean, ‘optional’?” Weinstein said. “The best thing is to eliminate it.”
The Academy’s Honor Oath was originally created in 1984, reports Fox, and did not at first include the phrase. Instead, the phrase was later added to give the oath more seriousness following an alleged cheating scandal, said retired Brig Gen. Hans Mueh, who had been on the committee making the change.


The oath’s current version, which cadets swear to upon finishing basic training, reads “We will not lie, steal or cheat nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and live honorably, so help me, God,” but cadets can now leave the last words off, if they choose, said Johnson.


Ron Crews, the executive director of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, commends the Academy for still allowing cadets to choose to say the phrase.


“These young Americans being trained to defend the rights of Americans should be able to exercise their religious convictions by solemnizing their oath with so help me God,” he said.


But even though the religious phrase is now optional, cadets are still required to recite the rest of the Honor Oath.


The West Point and U.S. Naval Academy’s honor codes do not include a phrase referring to God, but the academies oaths, like the Air Force’s, forbid cadets from lying, cheating or stealing or tolerating fellow cadets who do.

Snowden Took An Oath, But So Did Obama

While it’s true that, at some point during his colorful past, Edward Snowden took an oath of secrecy, the powers that be seem to be forgetting that Obama took an oath, too. Let’s just compare the two and see who’s really in violation, shall we?



Snowden’s Special Project Security Agreement



I acknowledge that I have been indoctrinated in the Project identified below and thus have received highly classified information relating to United States intelligence collection activities. I am aware that the unauthorized disclosure or negligent handling of such information could seriously affect the national defense and that the transmission or revelation of such information to unauthorized persons could subject me to prosecution under the Espionage Laws (Title 18, USCA, Sections 793 and 794).


I have been informed that approval for access to Project information may only be granted by Project Headquarters. I have also been informed that extraordinary security measures and controls have been established to protect Project information and that access to such information is restricted to those who “must know” based upon their present position or functional use. I agree to advise appropriate authorities of any change in my position or function and will execute a Termination Secrecy Agreement upon notification that such is required.


I realize that a briefing of this scope and depth, which identifies sponsorship, reveals codewords, and admits to the ultimate intelligence application of the Project, is given only to those individuals who have been specifically approved for the above identified Project at the highest level and that this type information may not be divulged to individuals with lesser levels of access.


I am aware that travel to certain hazardous or denied areas of the world such as the USSR, Communist China, and Sino-Soviet satellite areas may constitute an unacceptable security risk and I agree, until formally relieved of this requirement, to request authorization from Project Headquarters prior to undertaking such travel.


Having reviewed the above security requirements, I pledge that I will never publish or reveal, by any means, classified project information to unauthorized persons. Along with this pledge I recognize and accept the fact that I have a personal and individual responsibility for the protection of all such information in my possession no matter where generated nor how acquired and agree to abide by the security requirements and regulations established for the Project.


I understand that no change in my employment status or relationship with the United States Government will relieve me of my obligation under this Agreement.


I have been advised of the procedures to follow in order to determine the identity of individuals who have been approved for access to this Project, the current estimate of hazard involved in travel to a foreign area or to resolve any other question which may arise under this Agreement.



Now, let’s take a look at President Obama’s Oath of Office:



I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.


While some may say that Snowden committed an act of treason by revealing what might be considered “Top Secret Information,” if you take a little closer look you’ll see that it’s really Obama who’s committed treason.



Snowden’s oath states: I pledge that I will never publish or reveal, by any means, classified project information to unauthorized persons.


Obama’s oath states: I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.


And the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States guards our right to be secure in our “persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” In other words, according to Louis Brandeis, an Associate Justice on the US Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939, we have the right to be “left alone.”


In reality, Edward Snowden is simply defending our Constitutional rights – and he’s doing a much better job at it than Obama ever has.
