Veteran Removed from a Military Retirement Ceremony

#40

Quote:And again, all I see is that he was forcibly removed.  I see no evidence that it had anything to do with the fact that he used the word 'god' aside from a few places with a persecution complex speculating on the reason he was removed.  


Then you have this statement from John Huff (who I believe posted the video): "'The squadron commander and Oscar have issues from years ago the commander said he did not want him in the building nor saying the words to the flag."


Seems to me the issue has nothing to do with the word 'god'.  
Quote:Oh ok. So based on these sources, he wasn't escorted out because of the word, God.


Unless you're saying that the leadership that kicked him out are so stupid and so [BLEEP] and so inexperienced to these retirement ceremonies that they didn't realize that the retiree can include religious verbiage because the air force concedes these ceremonies are personal.
 

Sigh... you two lefties just don't like to read much.

 

From the article in Stars and Stripes.

Quote: 

In his letter, Berry said Roberson’s commanding officer Lt. Col. Michael Sovitsky objected to Rodriguez’ speech because of its religious references but did not have the authority to prevent an invited guest from attending. The letter said Sovitsky told Roberson he did not want Rodriguez to give the speech. Roberson and Rodriguez offered to place warning signs on the door of the auditorium informing people that God would be invoked.

 



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
