All of our soldiers, to include generals, have the right to freely exercise their religion and are protected by the 1st amendment in this regard.
All of our soldies REGULARLY attend religious services in uniform. Some of our soldiers attend military chapels led by our chaplains. There is absolute nothing that prevents or prohibits a soldier from attending any church/chapel he or she chooses, military or civilian.
There is no way that it is proper, or even ethical, to attempt to dictate the religious speech of any soldier when they are in any church of their choice. To do so would be an abhorrent, anti-freedom practice.
