“Members of our military should not be denied the very freedoms they fight to defend,” explained ADF Legal Counsel Joseph La Rue. “Freedom of religion and speech are paramount among those freedoms.”

Backed down for now, until they can find a more subtle way of doing it.

yeah this whole issue was, in my estimation, totally contrived. So now Christians can share their faith, and it should apply to gays, wiccins atheists etc to persuade soldier of the benefits of a gay wiccins atheist lifestyle.............

“until the Air Force or Army or Navy or Marine Corps punishes a member of the military for unconstitutional religious proselytizing and oppression,

Mikely. there is no such thing as unconstitutional religious proselytizing by a member of ANY organization.

Reminds me of Clinton’s feminizing of the military.

When he tried it on the Top Marine the man replied “Sir, we don’t do that.”

Clinton, flummoxed, asked why.

“Because we’re the Marine Corps, Sir” he was told.

...for unconstitutional religious proselytizing and oppression...

How about first pointing out where the courts determined that was unconstitutional?

Who ever thought we’d see the day that atheists and homosexuals would be running the Pentagon? Sad. America has really fallen.

I’ve noticed that those who are opposed to Christ, tend to react to any Christian statement, with proclamation “they don’t believe in it!” or “That is your faith, not mine.” or “ I don’t believe in demons (or angels)(or God)”, but in the same breath they seek spirituality.

I have considered that perhaps they follow a worldly taught perspective that Christian beliefs aren’t based upon reality, but upon fairy tales, yet this isn’t consistent with their manifest perspective, though it might be one of many arguments they advance.

My instant solution for all Christian soldiers was to tell them to get prayer rugs, face Mecca and pray the rosary or Christian prayers 5 times a day. What WOULD the Pentagon have done then? We all know it wouldn’t have applied to Muslims. I’m afraid the Trojan horse is not only here, but is being fed and runs things.

Weinstein doesn’t actually understand the reasoning for the separation of church and state.

I don't believe HR Pufenstuf is real, and I am not bothered in the least if other people want to talk about HR Pufenstuf as if he is real.

What sense does it make to be so terrified of that which you insist does not exist.

I would imagine that for many service members it’s their faith that sustains them in some of the most horrific circumstances, and to suggest that they cannot share their faith is perhaps the most disgusting thing yet that has come out of the Obama Administration.

Pentagon Changes Mind, Says Soldiers Can Share Faith

That's the end of it? NOT BY A LONG SHOT!

Has anyone seen a copy of the original order? Who signed it?
Where did it originate? How high or low was the originator of this stupidity?

Yes, this is a big deal. The Fourth and Second Amendments are well under attack for years now.
This time they are attacking the First.
Are "they" systematically dismantling the Bill of Rights one at a time?

Who are "they?"
They are likely appointed bureaucrats or czars empowered to do what neither Courts nor the Congress would dare. They all enjoy the fatal combination of arrogance and stupidity, and count on the anonymity of a growing gigantic bureaucracy.

An FOI request by the proper person(s) in Congress can force an immediate answer. Whoever the responsible party or "committee" is they should be gone immediately, and banned from direct or indirect governmental positions permanently.

Enough is enough.
