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.
To read about how the administration there is between a rock and a hard place in decided whether to allow a Muslim female student to wear her hijab with her uniform, continue reading on the next page:
Please stand strong.
Deport ALL Muslims.
Never, never never give in!” (Winston Churchill)
That figures. Get the muslims and their beliefs out of our Country. This is the U.S.A. not some Muslim Country.
To change for one student as the article indicates……Nope…!
That should NOT happen. They have stood on ceremony for as long as they have been. It isn’t right to allow foreigners to come in and change the rules now.
That’s BS.
Why do you people welcome these damn dirty Enemy muslims and kiss their asses and change everything in America to please them and make sure they don’t get offended ?WAKE UP !!! Muslims DON’T belong here !!!
If you allow this, then you’re all a bunch of morons and the Citadel should be shut down.
The citadel should NOT change for Muslims.
