This is a disgrace! Is this what the U.S. military has descended into?

This is the tip of the iceberg, from what I hear. Christians being refused the right to pray at military funerals and such. No crosses or Bibles allowed on military bases. Military officers refused the right to attend religious ceremonies. Clearly violating the rights of Christians. Have not heard of any similar complaints from Muslims or other religions.

Please post links to any stories of such events, if you know of any such links.

Sunlight is an excellent disinfectant.

Very ominous trend here.

The hatred for Christianity continues.

Obama hates: Christianity, capitalism, and the Constitution.

Why can atheists insult and “hurt our feelings” all the time, but Christians and Jews are supposed to sensitive to atheists’ feelings? It is a one-way street.

I read years ago of 4 chaplains who did one of the bravest things I have ever heard of. I think one was a Rabbi and the other 3 were protestants.

After their troop ship was torpedoes, they helped the soldiers to get into life boats then they gave their life jackets to soldiers who did not have them.

The 4 chaplains locked arms and went down while praying or singing, I can’t remember which.

No greater love was particularly true then.

Tyranny, thy name is Obama! And Hagel is a dirtbag too. What were Nebraskans thinking when they sent this idiot to the senate?

In the immortal words of my grandpa, "suck it up buttercup".

People are becoming such wimpy wusses.

I hope they use the same enforcement against the Sikh’s turban and dagger.

The armed forces are decaying daily, thanks to Dear Leader Obamuslim in the White House. Soon only atheists and homosexuals will remain on active duty.

Many are choosing and being turned over to a reprobate mind rather than obeying the Lord and His word. They can't even see they are deceived. Eyes and ears closed to the truth.

Watch what happens when sodomy is put above honoring God. This is witnessing our military go down the drain faster then you can say ‘Obamanation’.

You mean, I think, unless it first results in a “press story,” we cannot hear about it here.

Makes sense.

Perhaps, more bloggers can make some of these stories “hit the Internet.”
