This must be one of the unintended consequences from the repeal of “DADT”.

My thought is that this is an INTENDED consequence of the repeal of DADT.

The enemy of the Progressive State is Christianity.

In their minds, we must be eradicated. And now they have some "cover" to do so.

I don't understand why anyone needs her permission....just do it.

I agree 100%. I would go out of my way to force the issue and see what they do about it. Are they going to ban military funerals? Why does the military have a Chaplain's service if they aren't allowed to mention God?

I agree with you. You’re exactly right. I probably should have thrown a “sarc” tag on that.

I am not religious but even I was inclined to call and give them an ear full, the phone is constantly busy. Bet they change their minds soon.

Except humanism, in which case it’s OK to talk about “people” or “humanity.”

I am very tired of seeing bull d***ke type ugly women pushing their feminist anti-american BS on the USA.

Feminism was to give ugly women “something” but it sure as heck was not this.

Most likely DADT crusader against natural law (how utterly foolish, and someone promoted her to this position). Now as an authority over enlisted military personnel, she thinks her orders have weight behind them. But, they are empty, baseless, and completely contrary to the oath she swore to defend our constitution. She should be fired if she's a civilian or court marshaled if enlisted, and any pension or benefits revoked.

My point still stands. Last I checked, we have the freedom to worship as we please in this country and the government (or this director) can NOT hinder that.

Nice one...

“In the United States, atheism is considered equivalent to religion under the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause. In August 2005 the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed previous Supreme Court precedent[13] by ruling atheism was equivalent to a religion for 1st amendment purposes.[14][15] The plaintiff in the case was a prison inmate who was blocked by prison officials from creating an inmate group to study and discuss atheism. The court ruled this violated the inmate’s rights under the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.

There are also online churches that have been created by atheists for purposes ranging from parody, advocacy, education, securing legal rights, to ordaining atheist clergy for atheist weddings.”

Including.....take that ruling, roll it into a slim tube, and cram it up you ass......bitch

It’s not good enough for her to change her policy. She needs to be fired immediately. But I doubt that’ll happen.

Nobody should be surprised. The state is supreme and it will tolerate no other gods before it.

Apparently it is. Remember the White House made a big deal explaining that they went through the trouble of burying OSAMA BIN LADEN according to ISLAMIC practices.
