The lawsuit filed by Michael Weinstein against the Air Force for allowing improper proselytizing at the US Air Force Academy has sparked an intervention motion by the National Association of Evangelicals. According to the Rocky Mountain News, the group wants to introduce new information—the experiences of hundreds of military chaplains—into court proceedings. Meanwhile, the Justice Department has entered its own motion, claiming Weinstein has no legal standing to sue the Air Force. As we reported earlier, one of Weinstein’s two sons and three other academy graduates joined him in the lawsuit.
A new report from the Government Accountability Office calls for the Pentagon’s Chief Technology Officer to have budget certification authority over the military services’ research and development accounts—a move the services say would add a burdensome and unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.
