Regulations at least prohibit them from practicing religious discrimination (even though there are plenty that ignore them, feeling that their faith calling is a higher one). The ones that worry me more are the unit commanders, Department heads, Division officers and Senior enlisted that feel it's ok to pressure their troops with a religious agenda.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578918682897536518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-78392364381037278892011-09-20T11:04:09.577-06:002011-09-20T11:04:09.577-06:00I <3 Admiral Mullen.
