watchtower on-line……
Policies and regulation are ignored whenever it suites them (and they think they can get away with it).
Our Military has long declared that any regulation or instruction are purely “for guidance” and commanders are at liberty to interpret them anyway they want to (integrity rarely gets in the way…they are officers of course). Because you brought this to the general populations attention some of them “might” very well get a slap on the hand, but most know its easier to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission. In some case, especially for the Military, they use regulations/instructions to “get out of doing something” if its something they really don’t want to do.
It is unlikely that anything will come of this blatant violation of Military regulations; after all, the government shall make no law supporting a religion or prevent the free exercise thereof. Of the 2 million or so Military members approx 16,000 of them have complained to MRFF to weight in on the dominonist christains, but only because of forced proselytism. This public display of supplication is probably ok because no one was forced into it–the uniform thing is one of those “in-your-face” ethics things some Military persons don’t care about.
On a final note, Franklin Graham called the Islamic faith “evil”. The Pentecostal-agon MUST declare him Persona-non-Grata because he offended our Military member’s who practice the Islamic faith…but I’m sure they did so reluctantly. For those of you who disagree with this ruling don’t bother to make any comments…you will be ignored.
watchtower out……
