The posters read;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMen cannot live without faith except for brief moments of anarchy or despair,\u201d one poster read. \u201cFaith leads to conviction \u2013 and convictions lead to actions. It is only a man of deep convictions, a man of deep faith, who will make the sacrifices needed to save his manhood. \u2026 It is obvious that our enemy will attack us at our weakest spot. The hole in our armor is our lack of faith. We need to revive a fighting faith by which we can live, and for which we would be willing even to die.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Initially, the MRFF filed a complaint from 16 airmen because of the repeated testament of &#8220;faith&#8221;. The Air Force dismissed the complaint because  \u201cthe display does not endorse, disapprove of, or extend preferential treatment for any faith, belief, or absence of belief.\u201d So NOW stuck their stupid nose in the controversy, because the 1955 text focused on &#8220;men&#8221; excluding women.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat message does that send to young women who currently serve, or want to serve, in the military?\u201d NOW President Terry O\u2019Neill wrote. \u201cWhat do you say to the women in your command who make the same sacrifices to protect their country as do men? General, there is simply no compromise when it comes to fighting the bigotry of sexism nor the prejudice of religious triumphalism. Women are just as patriotic, just as dedicated and just as worthy of our nation\u2019s trust as their male counterparts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, the Air Force caved to pressure from the two grievance committees. <a href=\"http:\/\/militaryreligiousfreedom.org\/press-releases\/Langley_AFB_POSTERS_REMOVED.html\">MRFF<\/a> calls it a &#8220;triumph&#8221;.
