What kind of officer goes on record that Her personal secular beliefs count but another peoples religious beliefs don’t?

A very poor, arrogant one.

How will Obama reconcile his gay-friendly military with the Imams?

The man was doing his job, he couldn’t avoid saying and doing what his job called for.

Jimmah was universally despised.

With the exception of the 11% payraise, under his watch.

In the AF, 1st Sgt is a job title, not a rank. What he was doing was right in the core of his job description:

8F000 - FIRST SERGEANT

In other words a senior NCO liaison between the troops and the Brass.

A good commander would be well advised to listen to this man.
He has a temperament that is leveler than the Major.

The troops can smell that stuff.

I wonder where the command chief master sergeant stands on the matter?

Obama has single handedly destroyed the Military.

No, I'm afraid not. Obama is merely the hand-puppet of a much more sinister and pervasive malevolent force. Please remember that Obama is simply a symptom - an abominable symptom, to be sure - of a very powerful evil that has engulfed society. It existed when Obama was in diapers. Now, it controls him.

And also remember that the Military is the social petri dish.

Absolutely. He is using the Military as a microcosm of the model he wants for society entire.

Exactly.

And believe me, part of this Majors attitude is personal, but the green light is coming from the White house.

I knew this was coming over 20 years ago. I was in the AF as a chapel manager and I was told I would support satanic worship services within the chaplaincy. When I opposed it (I was a SSgt/E-5, and the commanding officer was a LtCol/O-5) I was told my career was finished and I best leave. So I did. But I knew where it would lead and I wasn't wrong.

Satanists and homosexuals now run the military, if I may be so blunt. I am still looking for work outside of the federal government, because my time will come (again) just as it did for this Christian man.

That commander is a bigot and definitely not the military type — which is apparently how you get ahead in today’s military, unfortunately.
