“Major Valenzuela asked SMSgt. Monk if he could agree with her belief that openly voicing a religious or moral opposition to same-sex marriage is discrimination,” the official complaint reads. “Because of SMSgt. Monk’s sincerely held religious belief, he could not agree with the major.

Being prevented from voicing a religous opposition to same-sex marriage is a violation of the !st Amendment ("...nor the free exercise thereof"), and to not be able to voice an objection based on moral beliefs otherwise a violation of freedom of speech.

While I understand rules are different under the UCMJ, one must consider that this is being used to cow the general population as well.

Why should the 98% be subject to sensitivity training, dismissal, or lawsuit, to suit the perversions of the two percent?

I am surprised that the NCO in this situation didn’t request the see this major’s commander. In the Marine Corps we have the absolute right to “request mast” all the way to the commanding general if we believe that we have been wronged by our immediate commander. Doesn’t the Air Force have this right

There has to be at least one rational leader in that chain of command..
