Separation of Church and State? ( ! )

And now we hear of a Chaplain who has been bounced from the naval service of the United States for refusing not to pray in Jesus' name! Thus far have we come, in the name of tolerance!

In related news, this fellow is a minor class of Hero. His fight cost him a million-dollar pension but his fellow chaplains are freed by Congress from the onerous regulation he was court-martialed for breaking. After the Secretary of Defense said no-one would be prosecuted for breaking it. And the President, a Nominal christian, failed to pardon him. That the regulation was legislated away is a great sign, but that it existed at all is a terrible one.
