Quote:While I don't deny it doesn't look good for Sovitsky,  the statements you highlighted in bold text and cite as proof Rodriguez was removed for using the word "God" are the words of Michael Berry, the attorney for First Liberty Institute, not the Air Force. If the Air Force discovers what Berry says is true, Sovitsky should "retire."
In the last 3-5 years, the Air Force has become very anti religious expression in an official capacity. So much so, they nearly eliminated the Chaplain corps. What Michael Berry states about Rodriquez being removed for the word "God" are in fact correct. Sgt. Rodriguez is well know in Air Force circles for his rendition of the flag folding ceremony and appeared at the request of the retiree. Lt. Col Sovitsky tried to go as far as getting Sgt. Rodriguez banned from base. What isn't commonly known is that Sgt. Rodriquez's rendition takes place after the "official" retirement ceremony in an attempt to avoid this type of scrutiny.
