I don't like this at all. Keep your faith to yourself. The worst I had it in the Navy was a party I was invited to (I was young around 18) and these fundamentalists started “preaching” to me. I told them I was Catholic and they did not care. Finally I yelled loudly at them and the whole party stopped and wondered what was going on. It was one of the most uncomfortable situations in my entire life. Scary as heck. Everyone should practice their religion but when someone tells you they are not interested, you should IMMEDIATELY shut the heck up and go about your business.

This needs to be codified. Congress needs to pass a law specifically addressing this. Yes, I know the Constitution should be enough, but it isn’t for these clowns running things. They need to allow the chaplains to use the name of Jesus if they so choose not just make spiritual “suggestions” as well as allow people to worship as they choose.

"It most likely originates with civilian leadership, which would be expected. What is troubling is the apparent lack of push back from the brass." I concur on your second point. VERY troubling. What seems to be happening is that leftist administrations pack the lower levels of the civilian bureaucracy with mental and philosophical clones of themselves, and when the 'Pubbies come in, they fail to "clean house" and play the "bipartisan game". And as those lower-level players become higher-level players, they push for "like thinkers" to man the military side as well.
I'm actually beginning to think that the old "spoils system" might be better.
