Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a watchdog group that fights improper and illegal proselytizing in the military, said not all the confusion is innocent. There is a tsunami of confusion out there, but theres also a lot of willful confusion, he said. The excuse of Im sorry, I dont understand, seems very specious ... I think they [commanders] know very well. There is a very purposeful attempt to witness and proselytize irrespective of the Department of Defense directives, instructions and regulations. Weinstein has filed or threatened to file numerous lawsuits against the military over the past 10 years in connection with military leaders using their positions to promote their faith. Those cases have included the Air Force Academy coach whose locker-room banner touted Team Jesus, to an evangelical Christian Embassy video filmed at the Pentagon and featuring senior defense leaders.
