The Washington Times reports the U.S. Air Force has dropped the requirement that all enlistees swear an oath that includes "so help me God." A sergeant had been refused reenlistment because he crossed out the phrase on a document he signed.
The former requirement seemed to reflect some of the same "you will believe" requirement cadets at the Air Force Academy complained about. Given our Constitutional protections for religious liberty, including the freedom to disbelieve or question, the Air Force made the right choice.
