We wrote about Chaplain Squires in the past and now it appears he has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
The U.S. Army announced today (Aug. 24) that the charges against Southern Baptist Chaplain (Maj.) Jerry Scott Squires, center, had been dropped. An Army investigator had recommended disciplinary action after Squires told a lesbian soldier that he could not perform a marriage retreat if she and her same-sex partner attended. In this photo, North American Mission Board (NAMB) president Kevin Ezell, left, and Douglas Carver, executive director of chaplaincy at NAMB, visit with Squires in June at the Southern Baptist Convention 2018 Annual Meeting in Dallas.
It seems as though we might be making some progress in keeping certain types of Lawyer-ish People from peddling their nonsense. An utter and complete failure on the part of Mikey Weinstein and his band of deluded Anti-Dominionist denigrates. They posted their position on the matter a while back.
It’s about time that the military started defending the 1st Amendment Rights of Servicemembers and making the likes of Mikey stand quietly at the back of the formation.
“This is great news for both Chaplain Squires and all of the military chaplains who are serving our men and women the U.S. Armed Services,” said Gen. Douglas Carver, executive director of chaplaincy at the North American Mission Board (NAMB). “It is a significant victory for all who support and defend the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, especially regarding the freedom of religion.”
Squires had been charged with unlawful discrimination and dereliction of duty, and could have faced confinement in a military prison.
Carver thanked Squires’ commanding general “for having the moral courage to make the correct but difficult decision regarding the investigation into Chaplain Squires.”
We have been on the “Featured Stories” list over at the Babbling Bald Bilker’s site for a while now. It’s always nice to be noticed. I have been encouraging people to stay away from his click bait so I will just post some screen caps.
It seems I have become an Anti-Semitic Detractor. Sad, I was hoping they would at least try. This is like jousting with an unarmed man. Mikey is Anti-Detractorish…that bastard.
We provide those screenshots for the purpose of Education and Commentary. We would like to thank the amicus curiae amongst our followers that stepped up to defend the 1st Amendment rights of those who felt they were being victimized by the MRFF. Semper Fidelis and may the God of your own understanding bring you joy…best regards from your friendly Atheist.
