In 2014, the Pentagon announced that members of the various branches of the United States Armed Forces would be permitted to wear religious clothing, have a designated prayer time, and participate in other religious observances.
Under the new policy, troops would first need to apply for a waiver before an individual would be accepted or rejected for an exemption.
This policy would allow for military personnel to wear turbans, grow beards, wear a yarmulke, or carry prayer beads if approved for a waiver. According to the Department of Defense (DOD), religious exemptions would be granted on a case-by-case basis, and may be denied if such practices would interfere with an individual or unit’s mission.
This, of course, has had a trickle-down effect on ROTC programs and military academies, and now a controversy is brewing at the Military College of South Carolina — more commonly referred to as The Citadel.

Nobody realized that subterfuge would destroy America. I could lay it out in a diagram, outlined clearly and people still wouldn’t believe it…..to destroy a mighty nation strong of military, 1st you need to soften the youth generations down the road. While slowly infiltrating them with body’s and indoctrination of your ways……it’s been happening since 1995…the softening. The teens today are as complacent and gullible as a small child….
All are welcome, you live by our rules or you can leave and go somewhere else
