"The jury of five officers at Klingenschmitt's special court-martial determined Wednesday that he had disobeyed a superior officer's order prohibiting him from wearing his uniform during media appearances without prior permission.

Klingenschmitt said he believes he was punished for making a political speech in uniform because he prayed in Jesus' name."





I was pretty political my first time around in the military, but I carefully obeyed the law about wearing the uniform while doing my personal activities.

I think he should have known, as he was a Major in the AF before becoming a USN Chaplain.

Silly me -- I thought it was because the military had regulations against mixing the uniform with politics.
