Congressional Hearing on “Religious Accommodations” in the Military Gets Contentious

Yesterday, the U.S. House Armed Services Committee held a hearing on “Religious Accommodations in the Armed Services” — and Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation was one of the non-right-wing representatives on the panel.

You can now watch the hearing online. Weinstein begins speaking at the 25:18 mark, and his prepared remarks are here:

Weinstein drew a good chunk of attention every time he spoke, though nothing he said seemed to be all that controversial. (Listen up around the 46:30 mark to hear Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) comment about how the “end of the world” will come if we enforce religious neutrality on military leaders.)
