Breaking: Pentagon Confirms May Court Martial Soldiers Who Share Christian Faith

Breitbart ^ | 5/1/13

[Nachum]

The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”.

The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.

(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”)

Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.

I really think this is being blown way out of proportion by Breitbart.

Yea, too bad they exposed the Pentagon getting courtmartial advice from a guy like this:

So you are good with hiding all of this from the public, and the posters here at Free Republic? And do you agree with the anti-Christian extreamist's statements?

I've not seen chaplains proselytize, actually. They hold religious services, they are more than willing to talk to Soldiers who come to them, but I've not seen Chaplains try to "recruit" for their particular flavor of religion.

[cookcounty]

And what is the definition of “proselytizing?”

Is the sharing of differing opinions, and why they should be considered, “proselytizing?”

[MrB]

It’s coming on us fast, isn’t it?

I heard a great Man say, once... “when you see these things come to pass, look up, for your redemption is nigh”.

[straps]

Dear Timber: It is not the US MILITARY it is the civilian leadership. Thats is a huge difference. Do not drop that on our soldiers, sailors, Marines or Airman we do our job inspite of whom is put in charge of us...Includeing jerks like................Carter........Johnson who created Vietnam.....Clinton.........Obama.......who gave away our victory in Iraq cause he was too stupid to create a status of forces agreement...we will be back there again.....

[PapaBear3625]

Time for all Christians to get out of the military.

And then what happens when the military hardware is exclusively in the hands of those who are hostile to Christianity?

[Future Snake Eater]

I’m telling you this has been military policy (for good reason) for decades. Just because some anti-Christian nut who undoubtedly loves Obama said some stuff doesn’t mean anyone’s taking him remotely seriously. Obama may even want such policies implemented, but until he burns the Constitution and a whole stack of Bibles on live TV, it ain’t gonna happen.

[cookcounty]

If you don’t have the right to persuade others about fundamental ideas, you don’t have freedom. You especially don’t have religious freedom.

[NormsRevenge]

Military Religious Freedom Foundation? Lololol

Aassskkk any veteran who dug a foxhole who he’d pray to when there was Incoming,, Lady Luck?

[Future Snake Eater]

Apparently no God either.

That's an entirely different problem that has been festering all throughout our country, not just the military.

[clintonh8r]

Too bad the Joint Chiefs have no balls...especially the Chairman.

Looks like Obama's Pentagon wants everyone worshipping the (false) gods of the Sodomites. Praying for strength and conviction for any Believers serving under this antichrist policy.

Joshua 24:15:

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Acts 4:18-20:

“So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

[Joe 6-pack]

"This has been the case for a while."

Sodomy has been criminalized under the UCMJ "for a while." Why are some regs and standards being rigidly enforced and others openly flouted?

[444Flyer]

Ping

[Future Snake Eater]

B/c it’s unenforceable? Just like criminalizing Christianity is.

As to why such regs are put in place, I have no clue. Ask Congress, they’re the kings of implementing unenforceable rules.

HA, HA, HA! <8^)

Norm Lenhart, you do a fine good job!

Carry on!

Time for all Christians to get out of the military.

That's what they want them to do. Decimate the military.

[BykrBayb]

Muslims don’t share their faith. They just kill you if you don’t share their faith. So, that’s okay.

[TribalPrincess2U]

My question also. They won’t. They’re cowards.
