WASHINGTON, D.C., June 20, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Although the U.S. Military fight and die to uphold freedom, high-level military chaplains report they are increasingly being denied freedom of conscience and freedom of speech. There is also alarm about the negative effects on troop morale over the undoing of the 237-years’ practice of providing traditional religious support for U.S. soldiers. “We were promised that we would see no change - very little change,” says Col.
