Most of the enemy fighters I encountered throughout my service were avowed Muslims. I am an avowed Christian. I know that Jesus is my lord savior.

By Sarah Posner

…liefs, they are required to support the “free exercise of religion” of all servicemembers and their families, and enter service with the knowledge that they will serve “a religiously diverse population.” In any case, if there is disproportionate opposition to repeal among chaplains, it’s a trend that was created by the effort to recruit evangelical chaplains who opposed open service by gays and lesbians.
