Air Force Academy's Own Version of Stonehenge

The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is known for it's soaring chapel building. I visited there when I was just a lad and I can still remember how impressed I was with the structure.

They're also getting some additional worship space at the Academy:
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- The Air Force Academy in Colorado has set up an outdoor worship area for followers of Wicca, Druidism and other Earth-centered religions.

A double circle of stones atop a hill on the campus near Colorado Springs has been designated for cadets and other service personnel in the area to practice Earth-centered faiths.

The academy said Monday that chapel staff worked with Tech. Sgt. Brandon Longcrier, who follows the Pagan tradition, to establish the area. He's the noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the academy's astronautics labs.

The school also has worship facilities for Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists.
Perhaps they can install a stake too so those religions that require witches to be burned at one can practice their faith once the chants die down at the stone circle.

Guess what, Rick--there are Wiccan servicemen and women taking hostile fire while you're sitting in front of the TV with your beer and your bowl of Cheetos.

Nice to know that you hate America.

Well, Anon (how brave of you to post under that name) I don't drink beer and haven't had Cheetos for weeks, and since the rest of your statement is pure immature crap, I guess we'll have to consider you an unreliable witness.

Now, be a nice Wiccan and get on your broom and fly away.
