Men and women both need to understand that when you sign up, you sign up for anything in the military. I know many a Sailor/Marine that were "cooks in the kitchen" who had to strap it on in the field once our ship made way inland. PC crap is just that, crap! Don't join if you have any reservations about the military.....very simple for you simpletons.......
He is using our beliefs/system against us.

happen

I think 'this'/Islam will be a topic of interest for quite some time. It should be.

Things don't seem to going so well in Europe for one thing. Appeasing those who bear undying hatred for all that you believe --somewhat risky.

If you or I chose to move to a country such as Saudi Arabia how would you expect to be treated?

The Army Chaplain is really more of a counselor than a religious figure.

That is true. And you follow orders even if you don't like them. I was ordered once to go with another airman and remove a dead dog from an airfield. I didn't like the order and it was really out of my MOS because it belonged to Security Forces (MP) and not to Transportation. I was not at all happy but I did as I was ordered and carted the dead smelling thing off to the incinerator.
In my civilian union job, if the boss man told me to remove a dead animal from the parking lot, I would say "not in my contract" and refuse his order. The worst the boss man can do is try to have me terminated for insubordination. The military can do much worse than that to you for refusal to follow a lawful order.

Obama does not interfere in the military disciplinary process. No President does. Not since Nixon messed in the William Calley case.
