Our Lord Jesus said to Saint Peter, “you are Peter the “Rock” and upon this Rock I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

Every president, acting as commander in chief, has invoked God, beginning with George Washington. To say that military chaplains have no right to identify themselves as officers when they engage in religious commentary is to say they have no public right to exercise their freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Only fascists think this way.

Please be advised the US Constitution, American law & US Armed Forces prohibit our secular military, as part of our secular government, from promoting or endorsing a religion except in military chapels or exclusively military chapel channels. Military chaplains may not publicly proselytize their version of religion as official military religion on official military channels. That is why the unlawful practice was stopped by the military itself after complaints by military members including Christians.
