We will hear from Mr. Drinnon precisely the opposite response when an LCMS member of the service hears criticism of his eating meat from his Hindu commanding officer. Like it or not, we now live in a multi-religious society which is reflected in our military. We are no longer all Protestants with only a small minority of Jews or Catholics intermingled and diffidently tolerated. The only rational response to this new diversity is to limit religious speech and writing in the military workplace and on the duty station to utterly non-controversial topics. Speech and writing which divides, stridently advocates or criticizes practitioners of other persuasions should be seen as damaging to the morale and effectiveness of the services. We need to work to keep contentious religious comments to the privacy of one's sectarian chapels or living rooms and leave the military duty stations free of religious strife and argument.
