The left is succeeding in destroying the nation. The education system, the media, and now defense is all coming under the social experimentation of the left. Notice, it says chaplains can choose not to preform rites. Yeah- and then they can see their OER shot down in flames. **** these people.

Military chaplains now allowed to perform same-sex marriages
The Pentagon has decided that military chaplains may perform same-sex unions, whether on or off military property.
The ruling announced Friday by the Pentagon's personnel chief follows the historic Sept. 20 repeal of a law that had prohibited gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.
"A military chaplain may participate in or officiate any private ceremony, whether on or off a military installation, provided that the ceremony is not prohibited by applicable state and local law," a memo released Friday said. "Further a chaplain is not required to participate in or officiate a private ceremony if doing so would be in variance with the tenets of his or her religion."
The Department of Defense statement, issued by Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Clifford L. Stanley, also makes clear that the Pentagon doesn't back the individual ceremonies, despite passing the ruling.

The "muslim exception"?

I hope the primitives realize that they can does not mean they will.

Well now, I wonder if those marriages will trump state constitutions? Texas amended theirs as I know some other states did too.
