Bible on sentry duty leads to Air Force court martial
Airman Steve Ristau, 20, a Mountain Home Air Base security policeman, faces court martial for reading the Bible on sentry duty. He says the practice is a matter of faith and daily habit since age 14. Base commander Col. William Wilson cites regulations prohibiting reading on post. Ristau argues the Bible aids concentration and vows to carry it despite reprimands. Court martial is set for June 18 as authorities weigh the case.
