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.

Yep. Very sad.
Thank you for the words of Jesus (450). He has all authority.
Those in the Pentagon who are Christians should strongly disavow this wrong-headed policy.
And thank you (408) for a reminder of FDR’s word recommending the reading of the Holy Scriptures in the military. How far the Dems have fallen.
Indeed! At some point there will be recognition that Atheism is a defacto religion - at the extreme end of the belief spectrum, god=0, with polytheism, god=infinity, on the other end.
Once that recognition happens, then atheism will stop getting priority over all else.
“Time for all Christians to get out of the military.”

It would seem so and I could not in good conscience advise any young person to join the current military even though I actually signed up and was on the payroll a few days prior to my high school graduation ceremony. Unfortunately that is exactly what the regime wants, they obviously do not want anyone with any real moral restrictions on what they do. They would rather have Muslim soldiers than Christian soldiers. I expect them to find a way to weed out even atheists who have real moral qualms.

Read Romans 1
The order of precedence is very interesting:
Rom 1:25-27
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen.26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
NIV
In the Old Testament, Ba’al was a name repeatedly associated with the worship of the theocratic state.
Are we there yet?
"They have disseminated disparaging 'facts' about gays that are simply untrue assertions that are remarkably reminiscent of the way white intellectuals and scientists once wrote about the 'bestial' black man and his supposedly threatening sexuality."

No, it's all the more necessary now that people of character remain in the Armed Forces, if only to frustrate Obama's plans to morph the military into a tool that he can use to kill Americans in vast numbers.
And, not to push a point overmuch, they need to get their training.
Five might be the number of illegitimate children per platoon...I’m not sure. Just make sure the gals get to the daycare center on time.
The Bar Hopping pressure is one I’ve seen; when I didn’t want to go I always said it was against my religion!
Well said! Basically, denigrating sodomy, even though it remains illegal under the UCMJ, is now thought of as hateful.
Alright, Mr Rogers
