Lt. Gordon Klingenschmitt said he prayed at a March 30 protest opposing Department of Defense rules forbidding military chaplains from invoking the name of Jesus Christ. He's accused of violating an order not to appear in uniform at news conferences in support of personal or religious issues.

I think I can read, he was given a order, he chose to disobey it. Regardless of whether a officer can be recalled as long as he is a civilian he has the right to free speech. Servicemen can always attend a religious service of their choosing. How would you like a Imam or atheist dressed in their military uniform protesting in front of the white house and screaming Allah or God is for idiots. He has a military chapel and can pray or convert as he pleases. If he is insistent on violating regs. of the Navy and and settled law concerning religion he needs to find other employment. How many other chaplains choose to disobey the order.

Bla, bla, bla. You still have made absolutely no argument that is going to change my mind. So, ends the discussion.
