by Roland Lloyd Parry Thu Feb 14, 9:40 AM ET Since his last combat deployment in Iraq, Jeremy Hall has had a rough time, getting shoved and threatened by his fellow soldiers. The trouble started there when he would not pray in the mess hall. "A senior ranking staff sergeant told me to leave and sit somewhere else because I refused to pray," Hall, a 23-year-old US army specialist, told AFP. Later, Hall was confronted by a major for holding an authorized meeting of "atheists and freethinkers" on his base. The officer threatened to discipline him and block his re-enlistment.

As many of you know I had a career in the Army and this sort of thing began very early and now has grown. This sort of power and control has nothing to do with basic
discipline and tends to lower morale. It is hoped that a new adminstation in DC will investigate this as it has grown and will interfere with the strength of the military. As a citizen be alert and in touch with your representives.
