He was a guest on Tucker's show earlier this evening (will post link/portion of transcript when available) discussing his plight. Parts I frankly do not get. I have been to many military services of various faiths and Jesus was used. Never cut out. Now they speak of this as a Navy issue but would this not be part of the entire military.

This is quite frustrating and really wrong in the end. It did appear this young man was trying to find ways to ensure all faiths felt included, not that any other faith complained, is that even more odd.

Strange indeed. He's prayers should not be alone.

I heard one of this guy's commanding officers on Hannity today (wasn't Hannity, but a guest host whose name I forget). The officer was very well spoken and adamant that Klingenschmitt is being deceptive and underhanded. Frankly, I believed the man. It sounds to me like this Klingenschmitt is a goofball. Sorry.

In WWII the U.S. military command issued small Christian 'pocket Bibles' and little prayer books to most of our troops. Now they try to censure a chaplain for saying Christian prayers. This is how far we have regressed as a Christian nation.

I shudder to think of what will happen to our fighting forces without God's blessings. Even the U.S. military will fail if they reject God.

All I have to say on this is if the Navy is really trying to censor the word "Jesus" from prayers this would be beyond tryannical. If someone is sensitive to the word Jesus then you don't want that person on your side in combat.

A chaplain was on Sean's show today and put the kabash to all of this. The LT is a nut, methinks.

This guy does not seem right in the head. Hunger strikes in front of the White House are not the way to get things done.

WTF? If this guy is on active duty, he is NOT free to picket the White House and is subject to stiff penalties for doing so. Doesn't he have a job somewhere? This doesn't make any sense.

Last night after Tucker Carlson's show, my wife and I both sent e-mails to our two Senators, our Congressman, The President and this morning I called the White House.

He was supposed to be on Bill O'Reilly but that was either postponed or cancelled. Anyone know why?

He may be slightly nuts, but it may take such a person to confront storms created by bad policy.

Genius, initiative, insight, and oddity all reside in the same suburb of sanity. Granted, lunacy sometimes visits...

A different version of Cindy Sheehan - making his own issue, and being a tool of the media.

He better watch out on the food deprivation, he'll be feeling euphoric before he knows it.

He's using Jesus as "his" reason, they ain't IMHO.....Sounds like he's been passed over for promotion and knows his future , playing the sympathy system as a last act....

Just my opinion of course .......Stay safe and Merry Christmas !

I heard his SO on the radio the other day and he flat out said this guy is lying. I tend to agree.

possible Anglican ping?

I can't find this priest's obedience, except that he is supposed to be Episcopal.
