For your information, The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (80% Christians) is the only non-profit constitutional rights organization dedicated solely to defending the religious freedom of American military men & women. Over 66,000 military members (96% Christians) have requested their American constitutional right to religious freedom be respected & protected. We proudly & patriotically represent them when requested & will continue to do so as long as there are those who disrespect & disregard the US Constitution, American law & US Armed Forces regulation. For this pro-bono advocacy, the Foundation has been officially nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 7 times.
Even 1st President & Commander-in-Chief George Washington, in writing to Congress, recognized that the military chaplaincy “…has a tendency to introduce disputes into the Army, which above all things should be avoided, and in many instances would compel men to a mode of Worship which they do not profess.”

(name withheld), I occasionally answer emails lie yours as a member of the MRFF’s Advisory Board. Exactly what are we trying to ram down the throats of others? Please let me know.
Oh, wait! I’ve got it… We’re trying to ram the Constitution down the throats of those (i.e., the military) that have sworn an oath to protect and defend it. We trying to ram down their throats guidance that the military has written and endorsed themselves that prohibits religious proselytization from ANY perspective in a hierarchical, rank structured command system in which the influence of senior leaders and their effect on the careers of their subordinates can be profound and, in fact, actually life-threatening. We want EVERYONE to be able to practice or not practice their religious beliefs, but to do so in a manner that respects the rights of all OTHERS in the military to do the same without having to worry about retribution from their peers or commanders if they feel differently. We don’t think religion belongs in the workplace–consistent with the Constitution and guidance described above–just as discussion of politics (e.g., the Hatch Act) of bias with respect to sexual orientation are prohibited. So, if that’s the narrative that we’re trying to ram down the throats of those that are violating the Constitution and DoD guidance, then we’re absolutely guilty. (If it’s something else, then please illuminate me)
Have a safe and healthy day and thanks for contacting the MRFF!

Letter writer gave me a chuckle. Here is why:
“Don’t you really have anything else to do?” Says the letter writer sending a nuisance email.
“Quit trying to ram your narrative down our throat’s.” Says the Christian Nationalist who desires beyond all things to shove their religion down everyone’s throat.
“You guys are disgusting!” Hey, all the MRFF is asking people to do is follow the laws which already exist. You, the letter writer, are the one providing the image of ones throat being filled. Ew.
