Constantine's Sword Page #2
Has he gotten somebody pregnant?
I mean what's going on?
He said look, "Dad, I'm probably going
to be getting into some serious trouble."
I said, "What have you done, Curtis?"
He said, 'No, it's not what I've done.
It's what I'm going to do."
And I said, "Ok, enough of this.
What is going on? "
He said, "The next person
who calls me a f***ing Jew...
or accuses me or our people
I'm going to beat the sh*t out of."
I was surprised because I do have
three kids there at the time.
"What the hell is going on?"
He said, "Dad, this is just the way
it is here".
Mickey's three kids are his sons,
Casey and Curtis...
and Casey's wife Amanda...
They met at the academy.
She was raised as a Christian.
I've never heard it in high school.
If people knew I was Jewish,
it never was a point.
It never made any kind of mention.
But once I got to the academy
it became so, I was so aware of it...
that I was kind of different.
I went to lunch that day,
I had a flyer for a movie on my plate.
It was for the "The Passion of the Christ."
It had all kinds of quotes.
Every single place in Mitchel Hall had.
- That's four thousand place sittings.
Each single one had an advertisement
for "The Passion of the Christ."
So over a three day period,
every time that I would go
to sit down there...
there is a flyer staring back at me.
"Why is this OK to do with this movie?
Why is it that nobody is making
a fuss about this?"
So we started talking
to Chaplin Morton.
But I have this feeling the whole
time that this was all fruitless.
I had eventually more and more cadets
coming to me...
about how the academy was now...
full fledge putting their stamp
on conservative Christian ideology.
If you are a cadet and you
walk in to Mitchel Hall...
flyers for a movie...
then as a cadet
you're going to assume...
that your academy
is encouraging you to go see it.
If you want to see
whether or not it is
anti-Semitic, you need
to see it for yourself
- For yourself
- Right.
- And we both went to go see it.
- We did.
And I felt terrible
watching that movie.
Just absolutely terrible
I look at how they portray Jews.
These are my people.
We are being portrayed
as the people who killed Christ.
How can believers see that and not
get pissed and angry at the Jews?
It's scary.
I kept telling myself
"This is July of 2004...
it's not 1096 in the Crusades.
It's not 1492.
It's not 1939 and 1940.
It's not all the spaces in between."
It's the United States Air Force academy.
The spaces in between.
