If his command recognized any spouse, he shouldn't discriminate.

He's not the Chaplain, he's the Commander. Would he refuse to pin a medal on a LGBTQ individual?

a Rastafarian was in his command, would he allow religious freedom to smoke ganja?

Or is it only his religion that matters?

Don't these guys read the Constitution?
