The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis....
The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.
(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of treason, and of committing an act of spiritual rape as serious a crime as sexual assault. He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are enemies of the Constitution.)
Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.

“How long before we have the wear big letter Cs on our clothes?”
I figured it would be a cross, since the pre-Hussein Nazis required Jews to sew on the Star of David.
And C is for Coexist, of course, except with Christianity.
There is no freedom of speech in the military.
You are also free to exercise your religion, however you can’t proselytize.
It’s actually very simple.

"The Obama administrations Department of Defense was caught training U.S. troops that Catholics, orthodox Jews, and evangelical Christians are to be considered religious extremists, even equating the major religions representing more than half of Americans with truly violent groups such as al-Qaeda, the Ku Klux Klan, and Hamas. After the explosive revelations hit the headlines, outrage promptly ensued. Now, critics are calling for an immediate public apology to the soldiers exposed to the hateful propaganda, as well as to the Christian and Jewish communities targeted in the presentation.
The latest scandal to hit the Obama administration and its handling of the military surrounds a so-called Equal Opportunity training course [33-pg PDF file] presented to U.S. Army Reserve forces in Pennsylvania. During the presentation, troops were subjected to a slideshow that included a segment on what was dubbed religious extremism. At the top of the list the very first item was evangelical Christianity in the United States. Also included were ultra-Orthodox Jews, Catholicism, fundamentalist Mormons, and Islamophobia.

PENTAGON TAPS ANTI-CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST [Weinstein] FOR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE POLICY [April 28, 2013]
"Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nations armed forces."
Those words were recently written by Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), in a column he wrote for the Huffington Post. Weinstein will be a consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops.
Weinstein decries what he calls the virulent religious oppression perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as monstrosities and pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers, comparing them to bigots in the Deep South during the civil rights era.

Well....we can't say they didn't tell us. The path is clear.
They just appointed a rabid Christian-hater who pens virulent anti-Christian vomit, worthy of a jihadist imam, to develop military policies on religious tolerance.
I usually go with "conniption" - it covers a lot of bases.

No one ever told you about Jesus?
Yes! Start shooting! ..................................................................................................... FRegards
Unreal.
I’m also partial to Granny’s “Had a fit and fell in it” ;)
They jail and persecute Christians in Islamic countries, too. But until now, and until this president, not in the United States of America.
I’m starting to see a pattern.
So now it’s a crime in Amerika for Christians to even express their faith.
>>You are also free to exercise your religion, however you cant proselytize.

Not even chaplains, huh????
B.S.
Don't they already give Wiccans an advantages special treatment?
I'll use the "Google Machine" and see if its on the net.
It's probably on FR which is where I get most of my news!
“Arent there people in the NSA and CIA who work behind the scenes to keep us safe from tyrany? They swear an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution dont they?”
Let’s see . . . Oath vs Pension, Perks & Security Clearance . . . um, let me think it over, OK?
So, one can’t share that one is a Christian with another soldier but one can share that he or she is a homosexual. And, if someone doesn’t like the fact you’re a homosexual, that person is homophobic bigot that will receive a court martial.
May the Lord, Jesus Christ, look upon you, Pentagon, with love and forgiveness.
Please don’t interrupt the hysteria wioth the facts. LOL!
>> There is no freedom of speech in the military.
Apparently no God either.
More of Obama’s war on Christianity.
Obama hates three things: Christianity, the Constitution, and Capitalism.
