Washington, D.C. – The United States Army is being threatened with a lawsuit after a chaplain allegedly prayed to the Heavenly Father during an event at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, which offended an atheist soldier in attendance.
The Huffington Post reports that Staff Sergeant Victoria Gettman is unpleased with the response that she has received from her superiors in regard to complaints that she had lodged over the prayer, which was delivered last September. Gettman and a number of other soldiers were attending a mandatory suicide prevention session, which concluded with a prayer. The prayer itself was voluntary as soldiers were not required to participate.
Gettman states that she became offended because she believed it was obvious that the chaplain was delivering a Christian prayer.
“The chaplain said we have to have something bigger than ourselves. We need, and he stresses need, to have something divine in our life,” she said. “The entire theater was [then] forced into a mass Christian prayer. … I heard him refer to his ‘Heavenly Father’ and ‘Lord.’”

BTW, I was talking about the Lawyer !!!
B*tch. Kick her out of the military. Dishonorable discharge.
It’s a HER! I think she should be put on the front lines in Afghanistan!
Two words:
Thule, Greenland.
Exactly what I thought.
Sounds like the rantings of a typical dyke?
They should sue her as well since she swore to uphold the constitution...and that constitution includes the words “in the year of our lord”
How is it that the other soldiers can be force fed offensive crap all day long, e.g. you have no choice but to shower with the sodomites, but mentioning God is treated as the most offensive thing that could possibly be said.
Blanket party time.
This is exactly what has happened to our nation’s military since it became the PC, MC, social engineering test force.
she’s ‘allowed’ to be offended by a voluntary prayer... and they care...
yet when I’m radically offended by homosexuals and pro-abortion baby killers I’m supposed to stow it
yea...
What a loon! Her hat reads "I love atheists"
She should be grateful for anything that gives her fellow soldiers strength and peace.
May she spontaneously combust and rot in hell.
I bet that Gettman has never gotten a man.
I honestly don’t see how a conscientious Christian can serve in the military at this point. Anyone volunteering here on in can’t say they didn’t know.
“Sometimes I wish Christians weren’t so namby-pamby!”
I for one can’t wait to see this “new military” go up against the Muslims...
She’s a lab tech instructor at Ft. Sam Houston. And I would bet she’s a lesbian, though I don’t know.
An atheist chick. I suppose she’s gay, too. Tell her to suck it up.
why isn;t there a law which states you cannot sue whilst serving, the Brits have this law and they understand that their rights or so called are not the same once in the military?
Time for a very serious blanket party.
