Chaplains can't mention God or Our Lord. Yet if you want to progress through the ranks/ratings in most outfits/ships/bases/camps you have to attend the same church as the <whatever> commander, praise the Lord, sprinkle your language and your upgradings with the proper Christian cues and of course if you're gay bring your best friend's wife or g/f to the ball. Does anyone remember the indoctrination the Marines at Camp Pendlleton were receiving from their CO about gays in the military? The big objections where that being gay was against the religion of the recruits and lower level officers. But, killing isn't against their religion. Maiming, killing wives, children, kill them all and let God sort them out is a religious duty, respected by the entire US military hierarchy, despite Obama's show and bravado. So, a soldier can't address a faith based address by a US soldier but the prez can pursue DOMA with a passion because it's his duty as president. So of course his implementing his DREAM act by having Homeland Security prioritize INS hearing for those who might in the future qualify for Obama's DREAM is his duty as well? Heck, I even was expected to go to the same church as the astronauts during the Apollo program and I was a civilian. What's next? Is he going to pardon the Indianapolis 500?
