Lawyers representing a group of active and retired Air Force officers are seeking to change the original complaint to include the Air Force’s recently revised religious guidelines. According to Associated Press news service, the litigants claim that the revised rules permit continued evangelical efforts, including undue influence by senior officers over subordinates. The group also wants to include a new plaintiff, MSgt. Phillip Burleigh, who claims that superiors told him to use Jesus Christ as a recruiting tool.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, one of two National Guard members shot in a Washington, D.C., attack, will soon be awarded the Purple Heart.
