"Yet Liberty Institute is confident that the Navy will—after reviewing the information included in its response—reject Captain Fahs’s unwarranted request and will exonerate Chaplain Modder so he can continue ministering to sailors and Marines and fulfill his duty of service."

If this happens, it'll be a career-ender for CAPT Fahs. Hence I expect Obama to intervene (through intermediaries, of course). Too bad his dogs in the Senate can't convene witch-hunt "hearings" any more, like they did when DiFi was waving around assault rifles without a clue what she was talking about.

It is not accidental that an officer was assigned to some kind of temporary job in the chaplain’s office after an enlisted assistant who is a ‘married homosexual’ apparently lodged some kind of complaint.

There is zero restriction on a chaplain insofar as verbalizing his/her beliefs are concerned. In fact, they’re present as representatives of their denomination, so verbalizing their beliefs is not a forbidden thing. What is forbidden is subjecting a captive audience in a non-religious, secular event to a religious harangue. (Saying Jesus is not a religious harangue.)

For the chaplain in his own office to verbalize his beliefs (I think he’s Assembly of God or something like it), isn’t just normal, it’s expected. To then prosecute him for the same is a set-up.

I’m sure their hope was they could get away with having it stay at command level. They hadn’t clearly thought through the avenues of appeal at Chaplain Modder’s disposal.

I hope this CPT Fahs himself receives a poor rating. That would be a Mordecai/Haman type God event.
