Case in point.

This fellow has been persecuted for righteousness sake

No, he isn't. He's being reprimanded because he broke the rules. Rules he doesn't agree with.

I have two questions for you, timer:

1. Do you think members of the armed forces should be allowed to decide which regulations they will follow and which they won't?
2. If this was a Muslim chaplain who had spoken at a political event in uniform, would you support him as well?

It seems that you've never read the constitution : congress shall make no laws respecting religious beliefs. A muslim chaplain has just as much right to express his beliefs, IN UNIFORM, as anyone else. When a person puts on his nation's military uniform he doesn't automatically become a god-hating atheist as you suggest. The hand of Jesus that saves him will also be upon you, in judgement. Rules, pride, arrogance...where will they be THEN?
