The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”.  The statement, released to Fox News, follows 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.

Maybe you should post it in "Breaking News" right below the one that's already there.

I’d say go for it.

The faster these guys come out in the open and take off their masks, the better.

Court-martial someone for sharing their Christian faith. Do it. I dare ya.

Surely Obama who is a Christian (so he says to the infidels) will tell the Pentagon to knock it off no?

“Someone needs to tell this SCHMUCK Mikey Weinstein that this flies in the face of the 1st amendment”

Correct me if I’m wrong here Freeper lawyers, but I don’t think serving soldiers have the same rights as civilians. They can’t, for example, publically call their officers (or CIC) names. Can anybody who knows fill us in on how (or if) soldier’s rights differ from civilians?

I will bet you that if a rag head is trying to win over someone to join the jihad, they will get away with it...Lord knows, we sure don’t want to offend them.

The Pentagon needs a good cleaning out...too many bloated generals that do nothing for the defense of our country.

One decent president (oxymoron these days) can, as CIC, order this crap away. Court martial anyone that says no.

The reason for the chaplain’s corps is the guard their religious rights. The medal of honor given Father Kapaun is recognizes its role in the military.

Why that's OK, that's observing a “Civil Right” allowed to all (except Christians, or even Jews, who don't proselytize.)

far too many officers who care about their promotions, far too many who serve to get their freebies.
Lets see how much it’s changed.
homosexuals\
cross dresses
women on subs
women in combat
cross removed at a camp in Afghanistan
Generals might be judged by those who are under him
homosexual women who has never done anything but a desk job gets to over see Arlington
Now this.

Damn right , get rid of many of these PC officers who only care for their own promotions and not for country

PC and affirmative action

Look, just cuz you Jews don’t evangalize shouldn’t be a barrier to how we conduct ourselves as fishers of men.

You do want the US to continue supporting your Motherland don’t you?

Well, keep it up and I’d be happy to end my support and lobby for all of Palestine to be given back to the Palestinians.

“What about proselytizing for allah?”

The Ft Hood murderer yelled Allah Ahkbar. I wonder if they added proselytizing t the murder charges?

He is not a Christian.(rhet)

He is someone who has a Christian Faith. Synthetic religion for expediency.

It is getting close to the time when the military (with outside help) rises up and takes this country back.

I AM NOT ADAVOCATING this happens but would not be surprised if it does.
