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.
