Dear Mr. Weinstein

Not everyone thinks as you do. The troubling thing is that you are intent on doing what you can to see that they do.
The Supreme Court has never held that military chaplains are constrained in witnessing to their faith.

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