That way The Navy will never have to worry about the ACLU suing it because some Chaplain wearing a uniform said "Jesus" or read from the Bible outside of his Chapel.
And remember it only takes one case.
And isn't that what is really at the core of this man's argument, that the very reason he wears the Uniform of a chaplain is being suppressed to prevent the ACLU from suing the United States Navy for freely allowing religion to be practised in it's ranks.
Navy Chaplain (Commender) Robert Beltram reads from the New Testament during the Armed Forces Funeral for the Pentagon Victims, September 12, 2002.
Under the very orders this chaplain is protesting, this event could not happen and the words used from the bible could not be spoken in uniform as this chaplain is doing here.
