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.

What do you want from me? I doubted the story at first because it was on some obscure website only. This is the kind of story that new organizations love. Considering it happened to 80 guys it is something that would be tough to keep secret, hence my skepticism. I gave some possible scenarios how information about this could easily become public. At the very least in a local paper or news channel. Does this make my view clearer to you? Hardly, lacking common sense.
NOW....
I'd like you to actually come up with some evidence of proselytizing evangelical practices are rife in U.S. military culture and that THIS sort of thing happens quite often. You need more evidence than it happened a few years ago in the Airforce.
Here is a site with the religious make-up of the US forces. There would be 500,000 or more really annoyed people if proselytizing evangelical practices are rife in U.S. military culture.
