We have yet ANOTHER fire going on 20 to 25 miles from us. Heading toward a group of houses. Plus a vegetation fire about 10 r 15 miles south of that two miles from a place that had a nasty fire a couple weeks ago.

I wasn't willing to believe the "atheist kicked out" story until I read the quote in the article "“Reciting ‘So help me God’ in the reenlistment and commissioning oaths is a statutory requirement under Title 10 USC 502,” Air Force spokeswoman Rose Richeson said Thursday. AFI 36-2606 “is consistent with the language mandated in 10 USC 502. Paragraph 5.6 [and] was changed in October 2013 to reflect the aforementioned statutory requirement and airmen are no longer authorized to omit the words ‘So help me God.’ ”

The Air Force said it cannot change its AFI to make “so help me God” optional unless Congress changes the statute mandating it."

fucking assholes.
