U.S. soldiers punished for not attending Christian concert

When I went to basic 8 years ago we were given the same choice. I went once and didn't go after that. I don't recall being "punished" for my choice back then. That said, I hope this General's career is stopped where it is. But on the other hand it's often said that once you join, your constitution rights go out the window.

Very true. In fact, complaining about just that was a running joke at times. Someone I knew once poked fun at the oath of enlistment by changing the words around to reflect it. Wish I could remember the rewrite, it was pretty funny.
