evangelical chaplains allegedly directed cadets to proselytize their classmates. <<




The evangelical chaplains did this at a Protestant chapel service attended voluntarily by Protestant (presumably evangelical) cadets. If you will look up the definition of the word evangelical, you’ll see that’s what it means. Proselytizing (or sharing one’s faith) is a tenet of Christianity. It is also an expression of freedom of speech.

Are you saying that evangelical cadets should be prohibited from sharing their faith with other cadets? Or are you saying that someone who is not an evangelical Protestant should dictate to evangelical Protestant chaplains what they should be teaching about Christianity? Or are you just saying that evangelical Protestantism is a religion whose practice should be prohibited?

These are not rhetorical questions. I would urge you to consider what religious practices you are finding problematic.
