Your second point. I agree! I will write that again so no one misses it. I AGREE...

BUT! These guys have family. They don't have to go through any chain of command. And this is something that will get that chain of command discharged. Hence I wondered why it wasn't being picked up. Now it looks like it is.

Please, tell us why you take issue with the Huffington Post. Sure it's Liberal media but you make it sound like a tabloid? What am I supposed to do? Watch Fox News?

These guys have family? So they cry to their mommy if they can't go over the head of their commanding officer?

The "chain of command" will not get discharged. You may have the NCO who gave the order disciplined and the Major General in charge to be reprimanded at best. The prosetylizing evangelical practices and peer pressure rife in U.S. military culture will continue. This is not the first instance of such things happening. In fact, it seems to happen quite often. I remember there was a similar event in the Air Force a years ago with reports about airmen being discriminated against for claiming they had no religion. That event wasn't in the mainstream media very much either.
