This has been the case for a while. It’s also not limited to Christians. 99% of the time it would be a simple verbal or written counseling anyway, and that’s if anyone actually complained about it.
I really think this is being blown way out of proportion by Breitbart.
I have to agree, otherwise there will be no chaplains. It’s probably in response to that major that shot those people and refused to shave.
There’s a difference between “quit being annoying” vs criminalizing basic polite proselytizing. I agree there’s a lot of hype here...but seems there’s also a very serious problem/infringement being enacted. A lot of people will over- and mis-react to this; doesn’t mean there isn’t a Constitutional crisis brewing.
You mean soldiers’ First Amendment rights are nonexistent? The God-given right to free speech and freedom of religion that soldiers have died for, is being denied them?
And you don’t think it’s a big deal?
Yea, too bad they exposed the Pentagon getting courtmartial advice from a guy like this:
...(A) Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.So you are good with hiding all of this from the public, and the posters here at Free Republic? And do you agree with the anti-Christian extreamist's statements?Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”
Sodomy has been criminalized under the UCMJ "for a while." Why are some regs and standards being rigidly enforced and others openly flouted?
How is the “I love Sodomy” training going?
