[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2182922, member: 13624"] Nobody said you can't. The issue here isn't so much proselytizing as it's proselytizing [I]in the context of a command relationship[/I], i.e. abuse of power, whether actual or apparent. The military is a special beast, apart from the rest of society, in that individuals don't have the freedom to say no or walk away if they don't want to hear what's being said. If you want to tell me about God, go right ahead. I can put you on my ignore list and be on my merry. Try that in the Army and you'll find yourself in the stockade. [/QUOTE]
