Sterling told military officials that the posted passage helped her summon patience when dealing with short-tempered Marines who were frustrated with their CAC problems.
In Sterling's first appeal, the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Appeals in February upheld the conviction. A military judge determined that the quotations, "could be interpreted as combative ... [and] could easily be seen as contrary to good order and discipline," court records show.
Other convictions included in Sterling's original case involved charges of refusing orders to perform duties for which Sterling said she was medically exempted. Those charges and convictions factored into her sentencing, but are not the subject of her current appeal to the military high court.

I tend to think perhaps that this had less to do with religion as it did with Monifa's attitude problems. Note that the quote seemed to be more about "her" and people who irritated her than with God.
Frankly, she sounds like someone that probably didn’t belong in the Marines in the first place.
“Monifa’s attitude problems”
Monifa is not the problem. So-called conservatives who don’t have sense enough to defend basic Constitutional freedoms is the problem.
When the reset button is hit, whatever nation rises from the ashes should be run by people who DO understand this.
