Religious Freedom Curtailed in the US Military

Even in the USMC, Clifford Stanley had a reputation as a tyrant . . .

In September of 2011, a two-paragraph memorandum was circulated by Clifford L. Stanley, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness.  This communication went unnoticed by the mainstream media and remains unknown to most American.  In his memo, Secretary Stanley informs that, in light of the repealed of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” military chaplains may officiate at same-gender unions on military installations where not prohibited by local state law.  In other words, although the “Defense of Marriage Act” makes clear that marriage, on the federal level, is between a man and a woman, same-gender unions can now be “solemnized” on federal property by the U. S. Military chaplains. 

This is a drastic measure and a direct attempt to undermine the federal definition of marriage passed by the U. S. Congress and signed into lay by President Clinton.  What should be of grave concern to all U. S. citizens is that, by way of a memo, a political appointee (not a ballot box, judge, or legislature), with the stroke of a pen, circumvented a duly enacted Federal Law.

Clifford Stanley, a former U. S. Marine general, should be fired for this assault on the U. S. Constitution and religious freedom.   His boss, Barack Obama, should also be removed from office as quickly as possible for supporting these radical and illegal activities.
