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.
The Department of the Air Force wants to launch a construction boom with its fiscal 2027 budget, more than doubling its request over 2026, according to budget documents.
