Shocking Purge of Christians from Military

Sep 19, 2024

Christians are “extremists” who must be removed from military service, according to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The guidance to begin removing Christians from the military started under Barack Obama and is now being enforced by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ DOD.

Our client, Officer John Doe*, has been removed from his command and is being pressured to resign from the military because he is a Christian.

Don’t let Biden & Harris’ DOD purge Christians from the military!

Our client, Officer John Doe, has been relieved of his command because a subordinate officer claimed that John’s Christianity made the subordinate feel “unsafe.”

John never discussed his Christian views and beliefs about LGBTQ issues with this subordinate officer or anyone else in his command. Instead, the officer’s complaint was SOLEY based on John’s personal social media posts.

John has a social media account for friends and family. Over the years, he has posted about his Christian beliefs. The posts were never derogatory, simply a reflection of commonsense parenting based on a Christian worldview.

John has posted commonsense ideas such as these: boys should not be allowed in girls’ restrooms and showers; pornography should not be allowed in public school libraries; and drag shows have no place in public schools. And his posts did not mention the military or LGBTQ in the military.

Yet the subordinate officer claimed that John’s personal social media page created a “hostile work environment.” The subordinate officer claimed that John’s views were aligned with “hate groups” and “extremists.”

As a result, John was removed from his command, and the military is trying to force him out of service all together.

But wait, it gets worse... The officer who investigated the subordinate’s complaint has now formally recommended that ALL full-time National Guard members’ social media accounts be thoroughly “scrutinized” for Christian viewpoints.

Any service members found to have Christian viewpoints should be reported to the DOD Counterintelligence and Insider Threat Hub for adjudication as extremists.

This attack on service members’ rights is OUTRAGEOUS!

Help Liberty Counsel STOP the Obama/Biden/Harris “No Christian Commanders” policy. Fund the fight and have your impact DOUBLED by a special Challenge Grant.

On November 27, 2009, while Joe Biden was vice president, the Obama administration changed the DOD’s policies in an effort to rid the military of Christians and any who would obey a higher power than the one seated in the Oval Office.

U.S. Department of Defense Issuance (DODI) 1325.06, titled “Handling Protest, Extremist, and Criminal Gang Activities Among Members of the Armed Forces,” unjustly labels Christians as “extremists” who need to be removed from military service.

By the end of 2013, the Obama administration had purged officers and commanders from the military. Obama was “intentionally weakening and gutting our military,” says retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely.

The purges ended under the Trump administration, and President Trump worked vigorously to restore our military.

But in 2021, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris began their own military purge. Back then, the duo tried to kick anyone out of the military — even threatening send some to the “brig” (Navy jail) — who dared to exercise their federally protected religious freedom and exemption rights.

Liberty Counsel sued and won back those military heroes’ rights, jobs, and ranks.

Now the Biden-Harris DOD is using the Obama-Biden order to purge Christians in a new way.

I can hardly believe we have to defend the religious freedom rights of the military heroes who defend our freedom from this Biden-Harris administration again. For three long years during COVID, Liberty Counsel fought for Christian military members the Biden-Harris administration sought to remove from duty. We won. And we intend to win now. But we will not rest until we have vanquished every last attack on religious freedom, especially for our brave military members who risk life and limb to protect our freedom.

Be part of the victory by supporting our legal fund today. Liberty Counsel NEVER charges our clients as few could afford to take on a government gone mad. Instead, our clients rely on YOU, the faithful Liberty Counsel supporter to ensure justice is done and religious freedom lives to see another day. Every donation made to our legal fund today will be DOUBLED in impact by a special Challenge Grant.
