An interesting point that you are managing to miss.
The military is a unique environment. A servicemember may be required, under pain of court martial, to attend a command activity.
Now, there is no civilian counterpart to this.
When someone offers prayers in Jesus' name at a command function that has mandatory attendance, that's essentially telling those in formation that their religious beliefs just got put on hold so the chaplain can spout off in the manner in which he would like. That elevates the chaplain's rights above the rights of the sailors.
Like I said, would you be comfortable with forcing Christian sailors or soldiers to stand in formation, under pain of court-martial if they leave before being dismissed, while a Muslim chaplain prays Islamic-specific prayers to Allah, and/or reads from the Koran?

This is a majority Christian Nation for the small minority that arent then they could sit quietly. This is nothing new, all things are not equal - trying to make them so is wrong.
Or as Aristotle said...
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
