I’ve recently view where MRFF is requesting that General Olson to be court martial. Doing so shows great discredit to your organization and immaturity. Each military member has the right to believe whatever beliefs they choose to believe, they also have the right to express those beliefs under their first amendment rights. Attacking Gen. Olson is an attack to his first amendment rights. He never once forced anyone to believe in his beliefs. He may not be able or willing to take legal action to defend himself but myself and thousands of other veterans will do so through legal means. Your group speaks of the constitution but contradicts itself in the process.
I personally went to Iraq three times as an infantry Marine, on many accounts I would’ve died but it was God’s will to spare me. Are you going to request actions against me now that I’ve stated that? I decided to become a Christian on my own terms just like everyone else in America. I have the right to freely speak of that just like everyone else in America who has different beliefs. I respect all beliefs regardless of them, although I may not agree with them. As a student of science I know the theories of creation and I also know the areas of physics among others that they are disproven. In short attacking Gen. Olson is an attack on the constitution, veterans along with service members and Americans will not stand for it. To long have we stayed quite.
Like I stated I encourage all beliefs to share express what they believe in regardless if they are Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Atheist, and etc. This is America and it was formed to allow all beliefs and to be able to EXPRESS those beliefs without any act of injustice against them. MRFF’s CEO is doing exactly that against Gen. Olson.
