The academy trains cadets to become Air Force officers
The sprawling campus of America's elite Air Force Academy is silent for the summer holiday, but the din surrounding its role as an alleged hot-bed of religious intolerance is only getting louder.
For months now, unsavoury stories have circulated - first in the local media and now nationally - of cadets at the academy, situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, being bullied and discriminated against by evangelical Christians.
The academy, already rocked by a rape and sexual abuse scandal, has admitted that all is not well.
Authorities have received more than 50 complaints from students who felt they were being inappropriately proselytised.
