For those that don't get it - what if he had given a speech that was hostile to christianity? if he had mocked it, saying that the greatest gift in his life was becoming a rational atheist?
why did he need to participate in military uniform?
an officer doesn't just get to wear their uniform for anything, and when they are wearing it they are representing more than just themselves, which is where the issue of appropriateness comes in.For those that don't get it - what if he had given a speech that was hostile to christianity? if he had mocked it, saying that the greatest gift in his life was becoming a rational atheist?
why did he need to participate in military uniform?
It was his uniform and he is entitled to wear it. He is also entitled to express his personal beliefs. This really is a nothing issue. Some group with absolutely no authority didn't like it and they are free to express their beliefs as well. The man broke no regulations so this thread is about the sum of the consequences.

i think it'd be tough to say that his speech at the prayer breakfast, in which he attributes all accomplishments to his faith, as something other than an endorsement of that faith.2.12

Which he is free to do. Nothing in 2.12 prohibits it.

No, i'm saying that by choosing to give that speech over the importance of prayer and how he's needed it in his life and how god has made him able to be the officer he is and accomplish the things he has, it's difficult to say that as a leader he is not endorsing, very publicly, that belief set.i think it'd be tough to say that his speech at the prayer breakfast, in which he attributes all accomplishments to his faith, as something other than an endorsement of that faith.2.12

"That was our nation; a constitution, written for flawed sinners, with the moral compass of the Bible. So does it work? Has it worked? Yes. How do we keep it working? We get back to that moral compass and we pray."
that's not an endorsement of christianity?
he did not. but his rank, in uniform, speaking about life in the military"That was our nation; a constitution, written for flawed sinners, with the moral compass of the Bible. So does it work? Has it worked? Yes. How do we keep it working? We get back to that moral compass and we pray."

"Officially endorsing" is what is prohibited. Did he or did he not claim that was the official position of the Air Force?
