Conservative Tribune: As commander-in-chief, Barack Obama, through the Pentagon, has ordered U.S. troops to obey Shariah law.
Specifically, all U.S. military personnel in Muslim nations were put on notice to “be familiar with host-nation customs and courtesies to help facilitate a long-lasting mutual respect with local communities.

Awww... not this "hearts and minds" crap again.
That's just like Republican politicians behaving in ways they hope gets the approval of the media - but Lucy always pulls the ball.
Look - if we go to war just let our guys kill the bad guys and come home. None of this touchy-feely nation building.

We’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember. At least 15 years that I know of. Got my first taste of it in Bahrain. When in Rome...

Your Preacher has no eyes, no ears, and no common sense. My sympathies.
If I were still enlisted I would disobey said order.

Not new, been going on for decades.
I don’t think we’ll survive the first 1.5 years of that guy.
I caught the reference! :-)
That is an excellent point!
I guess I’d have to tell doh’bama to kiss my white arse as I refuse to pray 5X/day, refuse to take sex slaves and will eat all the damned pork I darn well please.
Agreed, TomServo.
Back in the early 70’s, deployed to Turkey, we were directed to respect local customs and laws. Of course, Turkey at the time was a bit more ‘western’ than today, it seems.
Same thing, though, applied to all foreign duty stations to which I was assigned...respect local laws and customs.
I don’t agree with anything done by this rogue regime, but this particular one is not worth getting overheated.
Dear God, make it stop.
Just think, in January 1968 if the order had come down to respect and observe the Vietnamese New Year (TET) I might have missed all the fun I had at the Phu Tho Racetrack the next few days. Different days, different Army and different CIC.
That explains why 0 refuses to defeat the violent extremists.
Hahahahaha, you’re so funny! As if we’ll be rid of him in 1.5 years, ha!
