So? You will have to explain, in detail, exactly what part of those rules is violated by which actions.

Can't read, huh? What part of 2 and 3 need explanation? Two says, "During or in connection with the furtherance of political activities...when an inference of official sponsorship for the activity or interest could be drawn." Klingenschmitt himself says that it was a political rally. Then there is three, "Except when authorized by competent Service authority, when participating in activities such as public speeches, interviews, picket lines, marches, rallies or any public demonstration (including those pertaining to civil rights), which may imply Service sanction of the cause for which the demonstration or activity is conducted." Klingenschmitt was ordered not to wear his uniform. He disobeyed that order. He was court-martialed and, in my opinion, got off easy.

BS ~ "furtherance of" necessarily implies a level of control that simply does not exist when praying. After all, we have separation of church and state in this country, so "prayer" is totally irrelevant to affairs of state, most particularly politics.

You'll simply have to do much better than that.BTW, at almost any time, day or night, I can go down to the White House and there'll always be two things present ~ guys in military uniform walking about that part of DC, and folks praying.

So far no one has gotten court-martialed for getting too near the prayer givers ~
