Breaking: Pentagon Confirms May Court Martial Soldiers Who Share Christian Faith
Breitbart ^ | 5/1/13

Posted on 05/01/2013 9:27:40 AM PDT by 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.

Political correctness in the military is not a laughing matter.

Well, I think it’s really important for those Christians to shut up and sit down. Can’t have anything interfering with the Cult of Celebrity our DL is basking in.

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

Sharing Christian Faith, eh? Egads.

Hope they publicly flog them first and then put them in the stocks.

That will show those nasty Christians a thing or two.

"No mention of Muslims who share their Islamic faith?"

In the military, are Muslims given 5 times a day to face east and pray?

Just out of curiosity, when did you say this to her? How long ago? I ask because I said they were going after Christians to a friend of mine back when they started taking Chritmas out of Merry Christmas and instead said Happy Holidays. He didn’t believe me.

That would be "Islamaphobic" according to the new Obama Pentagon and Weinstein.

..."Weinstein told me after the Pentagon meeting that military leaders need to understand that “there is systematic misogyny, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the military.” He said it is all part of the same culture."

"Oh and yes, this was AFTER the Boston terrorism attack."

Mine was before...I'll check the email I sent to f-i-l.

I think it was even before the massacre at Sandy Hooks.

Ever since I had that feeling, I've wondered if it was the BIG ONE any-time something big happens.

I'm not sure...we have had plenty of BIG ONES to choose from.....

When do they purge Christian-based patriotic songs from the repertoire of the military bands? The Battle Hymn of the Republic comes to mind.

Define sharing faith. If Soldier A asks Soldier B about Soldier A’s faith, is that ok? Or is religion not mentionable at all since soldiers are soldiers around the clock while they are in service. These people are crazy and will reap.

Not always. Sometimes they face West, depending upon where they are.
