Such notable American Christian soldiers, such as George Washington, Winfield Scott, Andrew Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, would be appalled at this if they were alive today.

You are absolutely right. But probably not in the way you thought.

They would be appalled at the officer’s apparent disdain for the rule stating they cannot be endorsing something in uniform without prior approval.

All the guys you mention understood the need for discipline and following the rules in a professional military.

you are right and wrong!

The leaders mentioned certainly stand tall for discipline, but would never have considered the military professing their religious beliefs, in or out of uniform, as a violation of disciplinary codes.

I agree with Maginnis.
