Breaking: Pentagon Confirms May Court Martial Soldiers Who Share Christian Faith
Breitbart ^ | 5/1/13

Posted on 05/01/2013 9:27:40 AM PDT by Nachum

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.

(From our earlier report: 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.”)

Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.

And every one of the goosestepping perfumed princes that comprise the JSC will go along with their anti-Christ-in-chief. The are all liberal political appointees holding alligiance to their master.

We call that “1700” in the Army, but you probably knew that.

Have not read 423 replies but here is mine. Bo better not continue to turn his back on our God. He risks being smitten. He (bozo) risks God’s blessings which he has bestowed on this nation since it’s inception. A lot is at risk. Pray for devine intervention we need it.

Put a Catholic priest in prison for giving Last Rites to a wounded soldier...yeah, commander zero would like that.

Funny (sad) that you say that because didn't something very similar happen in the aftermath of the Boston Massacre II? At Boston's bombing scene: Catholic priests need not apply

That is exactly what they are going to have regardless. Military people are under an oath too obey the orders of all those above them. If they refuse, welcome to Leavenworth. The commies in charge can order the troops to do whatever they want them too do. Back in my day, I know that hardly anyone would have obeyed an order to fire on our citizens, unless it was a full riot and we were shot at. But, now, they will order them to shoot at us for their perceived reasons to kill us. I think the majority of those troops will shoot us.

I had one of those. Fortunately I was too naive to realize I was being propositioned until I thought about it many years later. Probably due to my strict christian upbringing in the deep south. It just never occurred to me that a man would want sex with another man.

In my case it was painfully clear that he was propositioning me for sex. His question on whether I had ever had a guy perform . . . I’m getting nauseous thinking about this . . . oral ___ on me was hard to misinterpret. After emphatically stating “Hell no!” He asked how did I know I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t try it. That’s when I put the beer down and walked out.

Hi, Megan,

It’s the squeaking of a little mouse. More than 80% of the military are Christians or sympathetic toward Christians. The obuma butt-kissers are playing with fire.

My son who is in the Army bought and sent me a challenge coin with Ephesians 6:11-13. On one side there is a Christian Soldier bearing a sword and shield, with Put On The Full Armor of God written above, and Defend The Faith underneath. On the edge is written Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the Devil's schemes.

On the back is the armor, shield, and Sword in the center, with Loins, Sword, Helmet, Breastplate, Shield, and Feet around the center. On the edge is written, Gospels of Peace, Girt with Truth, Of the Spirit, Of Salvation, Of Righteousness, Of Faith.

I carry this every day, along with my Blue Star coin. When the time comes, I will carry this into battle.

Definition of PROSELYTIZE
intransitive verb
1
: to induce someone to convert to one’s faith
2
: to recruit someone to join one’s party, institution, or cause
transitive verb

I take it that those outraged by this would not have a problem with muslim troops trying to convert other troops to islam?
