AF Academy General Cleared of Final Charges

Yesterday the Air Force Inspector General cleared Air Force Academy Commandant of Cadets Brig. Gen. Johnny Weida of the last charge pending against him relating to claimed proselytization of cadets. (See prior posting.) The Associated Press reports today that the last charge which has now been dropped is "using a religious communicative code to facilitate the proselytizing of non-Christian cadets." An Air Force spokesperson added, "Gen. Weida has readily acknowledged that his actions were inappropriate and has taken positive, visible corrective actions that reflect his true character."
