Christian Embassy targeted by anti-Christian group - December 2006
"Weinstein asked for -- and received -- a Department of Defense Inspector General investigation of seven officers who appeared in a video for Christian Embassy ministry. The Inspector General concluded in August 2007[11] that the video was inappropriate, but Weinstein was not satisfied. After seeing the IG's report, Weinstein told Beliefnet that even though the Air Force suggested corrective actions MRFF "wanted to see courts martial."[12] In its press release MRFF also stated, "MRFF intends to file expeditiously a comprehensive Federal lawsuit that will rapaciously pursue legal remedies to the multitude of horrific Constitutional violations this DoD/IG report reveals."[13],[14]"
James Madison once described religious freedom as the "lustre of our country." The examples presented above should give us great concern that we have entered a period in which members of the armed services are being subjected to speech codes and restrictions on the free exercise of religion. We recognize that there must be a healthy respect for the beliefs of members of all faiths and those who are not believers, yet concurrently affirm that religious expression is a right foundational to our Constitution, which those being penalized have sworn with their lives to uphold.
I will comment further later. But the interesting thing I have to note is that Christianity is pretty much the only religion under attack in the military.
Any other religion or loose affiliation isn't, those have to be protected and encouraged to flourish. I remember reading about the rise in wiccanism in the military and that was viewed as a good thing. I guess it's just those pesky Christians that are the problem.
