TX Senator Demands That Air Force Answer to Him for Pulling "Jesus Loves Nukes" Training

http://www.buzzflash.net/story.php?id=1822816


Let's get something straight here: This isn't about a few Bible references. It's about slide after slide of Bible verses, as well as a slide presenting former Nazi and SS officer Werhner Von Braun not as a scientist, but as a moral authority promoting the Bible (for some reason, defenders of this training like Senator Cornyn keep leaving that pesky little detail out). The training quoted Von Braun, upon surrendering to American forces in 1945, saying: "We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured."

thank goodness sanity prevailed and jesus loves nukes is gone, gone, gone

now if only Cornyn and his ilk could be gone, gone, gone
