My Senior Drill Instructor in bootcamp forced everyone to go to church. Whether I wanted to or not, I was required to go or face punishment. I have absolutely no problem with other leaders facing NJP or even a courts martial for forcing religion, of any faith, on their subordinates.


BTW, massively over dramatized headlines aside, you will never see anyone not in a senior leadership role who has to worry about this.

It annoys me that the current media trend is to encourage and celebrate people telling the world that theyre gay, while at the same time saying people shouldnt speak out about their religion. I dont believe anyone should "force religion".... but if christians want to talk about being christians until theyre blue in the face, more power to them.

It's not about Christians talking about being Christians, its about Christians forcing their religion on others. It's annoying and tactless.

Christianity is constantly used as a filter for judgement, such as the morality of homosexuality.

Gay folks... just want to fuck/marry eachother. Theres a difference.

I dont disagree, but how would you define "forcing religion on others"?

When a superior officer forces you to go to church or face punishment for not going. That's my answer.

I agree. But correct me if i'm wrong..... this policy aims to cover a lot more than that?

There's a pretty clear definition of proselytizing. Which in itself, in the military, is kind of a constitutional no-no. Not the time or place. If I want to hear about the word of god, I can come to you.

There is quite a difference between proselytizing and sharing. The article seems to equate the two. I sense poor journalism is afoot.
