If a person is pestering others, then it could prevent harmony within the group. If a guy has merely mentioned that he’s a Christian and proud of it, or has been approached with sincere questions, then I see no problem at all.


Agree with that. There should be no religious proselytization in the military.

No witnessing the Christian faith? But I assume you’re ok with soldiers taking the Lord’s name in vain, ridiculing Christianity and otherwise making faithful Christians as uncomfortable as possible. Why is it that everyone gets a free pass at trashing Christians when every other religion is protected? I thought the First Amendment applied to everyone?

Those who ignore the meaning of Christianity, ignorantly think the Christian witness is synonymous to an attempt to proselytize.

They also conveniently ignore their encroachment and interference with God’s Plan by their own worldly endeavors.

I would have to say you’re an idiot. What does proselytization mean to you? That’s just a word non-religious people have dreamed up - truth is, God requires us to witness to others. Plain and simple. That’s why we’re here. And what does pestering others mean? Suggesting they look at another point of view?
