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

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.”)

My Comment: This is a story that no one in the main stream media wants to touch. As to what is my take .... I am stunned that on this issue the Pentagon is taking counsel and advice from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation .... but I guess this is the state of American politics and the U.S. military today. I guess it is also only a question time before military chaplains will become silenced under these Pentagon rules.
