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.

My grandmother would "have a fit" and then swear at us in German.
We knew what she was saying. I miss her cussing us out now.
*snicker*
Literally every one of your points is an utter joke. It’s hilarious to see someone so ill-informed who is so passionate about it.
I guess you can help rewrite the recruitment rules to only allow 6’4”, 350-lb powerlifters who can sprint a 4-min mile and snort pure, uncut patriotism. Good luck with that.
same here, just when I think I could not get more pissed off I either get the GOP, the media or a poster telling me how to raise my kids or how I should change or how some you meet are so far up their own sun does not shine
Time to leave politics me finks and head to the mountains LOL
Ditto!
you are so full of crap, you do know I have served right?
Amen.
what is a joke that I had to do 30 miles in 8 hours carrying full kit over cross country.
er nope done that, guess you did not.
a soldier still serving telling me how he just finished his tour and saw his officer wearing a dress in the PX. yea that happened.
and yep wanting to serve because you love your country, hardly a whacked out idea and damn right people should join for that not for the freebies and a easy ride
hitting a nerve am I?
In the face of the psuedocon takeover of Conservatism I am about to say to hell with it all and just be a Reaganist - party of one. It won’t fight to save itself and I am sick of fighting ‘fellow conservatives” about basic doctrine.
Unlike many ‘conservatives’ and all GOP, I can easily differentiate between right wrong good and evil. An apparently rare thing on the political right today.
And? That gives you a pass to say whatever you like about the military, regardless of the facts?
That has been redifined to "workplace violence"
yes exactly
I will speak of what I have seen, been told and read.
Freedom of speech to letting others know how some aspects of the military has changed and why I don’t want my sons now joining the military.
We have had along line of family joining and serving but no more under this Govt and the political promotions of officers and cross dressing and homosexuals
Didn’t know you were that far out of the loop.
I could point you to answers, but you would just have more already answered questions.
Obama’s strings are being pulled in favor of Islamic jihad/takeover by one of those whom you designate as **“Obama advisor”?** as if they don’t exist.
Hopefully you catch up soon.
same here pal.
I;’m sick of fighting our own side because they think they should tell me how my life or my family should be and raised or how some aspect of the issues are not important
You are not the only one. I have been having dreams lately about demons and feel a sudden sense of something evil coming our way.
I can’t talk to anyone about it because when I tried, they just called me paranoid.
Just because I may be “paranoid” doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get me.
This feeling of dread has become more and more dire. I read today, May 8th, the whistle blowers will be testifying.
I don’t think the white hut will allow it to happen.
Agreed and that’s great that you already called. So many just whine.
“But butt bangers are welcomed, open arms?”
Betcha you meant ...
butt bangers are welcomed, open cheeks
I beleive the goal is to purge Christins from the military. Think what a satanic only military would try to accomplish.
I know a dishonorable discharge will prevent you from owning a weapon....
Does anyone know if a court martial will do the same if it is for a federal felony?
The politically correct Obamanistas at the Pentagon Palace need to remember that MAJ Nidal Hassan was proselytizing Islam toward other Soldiers during his “practice” as an Army Psychiatrist. Will the Perfumed Princes prosecute Hasan to the full extent of UCMJ for that, in addition to his numerous murder and attempted murder charges?
