The Pentagon has approved a new policy that will allow troops to seek waivers to wear religious clothing, seek prayer time or engage in religious practices.

Defense officials say the waivers will be decided on a case-by-case basis and will depend on where the service member is stationed and whether the change would affect military readiness or the mission.

Until now there has been no consistent policy across the military to allow accommodations for religion. Now, for example, Jewish troops can seek a waiver to wear a yarmulke, or Sikhs can seek waivers to wear a turban and grow a beard.

Others can request specific prayer times or ask that they be allowed to carry prayer beads or other items.

The policy also says that service members can choose not to recognize any religion,according to NBC News.

According to Defense Department statistics obtained by NBC, there are only three Sikh Americans in the military. There are about 3,700 Muslims. 6,300 Buddhists, and 1,500 Wiccans.

  1. The americans get ever more ridiculous under barry’s tenure.

  2. The capitulation of the United States continues to strangle us like an Anaconda with a pig. Those in power continue to “tweak the DNA” of the nation as they inflict 10,000 paper cuts to bleed us out by various means. What is truly astounding is that evidence of a dark hand continues to mount and through carelessness or by design gets released to the public day by day. The dark hand is the collective work to shift us from democratic republic to socialist nirvana. We are marching towards change – but which path will we be nudged into? As things now stand I can only imagine, look to history, and pray to God that hell is defeated in our land.
