“An Air Force two-star general is being blasted by a civil liberties group for speaking in uniform about how God has guided his career.” Maj. Gen. Craig Olson spoke at a National Day of Prayer Task Force event on May 7. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has called for Olson to be “aggressively and very visibly brought to justice for his unforgivable crimes and transgressions” by a court-martial. At the end of the speech, Olson asked the audience to pray for Defense Department leaders.
During his 23-minute speech, Olsen spoke of God enabling him to do complex nuclear missions and go to Iraq to negotiate foreign military sales deals.
Veteran T.M. comments: “God sent him to Iraq to sell weapons? I don’t know who is crazier in this story—the general for making such claims or the MRFF for wanting someone court-martialed for talking about prayers at a prayer event.”
