Ethics Anyone?
One of the neat things about being the chaplain of a training group is having access to a few hundred young men and women whose morality has been colored by Postmodern principles (an oxymornon?!). The challenge is not to get them to change their morality, but to admit that one can have an objective morality at all. Enter Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the US, who left us with an abiding sense that we must stand against evil as a nation. Vandenberg AFB is only a couple of hours from the Reagan Presidential Library which is filled with exhibits regarding the moral lessons he lived and learned. So we put together a one-day event that begins with an overview of the life and ethics of the 40th POTUS and concludes with a trip down to the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. ICBM missile students (yes, the ones who would launch nuclear weapons) have been our target audience. If anyone needs to hear the message that morality is not relative it is those who could completely change the face of the earth via nuclear war. So here are some pics from our latest trip, which included a walk-through of the newly opened Air Force One. To view the pictures in a larger view, simply left click on the photo.
