Was the soldier in uniform or not?
It is NOT against the CoC/law to have a photo taken with a CITIZEN while in uniform.
To state that it represents “aligning with a specific religion or political party” would be ridiculous, he’s ONE GUY. They’ve done nothing wrong and the brass know it.

If this is sanctioned and ok - how is a picture with TR not?
