Reprimand given to soldier celebrating promotion with Chick-fil-A

LifeSiteNews is reporting that a U. S. servicemember has been reprimanded for serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at a party to celebrate his promotion to master sergeant. LifeSite reports, “The unidentified soldier was investigated, reprimanded, threatened with judicial action, and given a bad efficiency report after sending invitations that read, ‘In honor of my promotion and in honor of the Defense of Marriage Act, I’m serving Chick-fil-A sandwiches at my promotion party,’ according to the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.”

“They say he is no longer a team player and was not performing up to standards,” Chaplain Alliance Executive Director Col. Ron Crews (USAR retired) told Fox News, “They say he is no longer a team player and was not performing up to standards.” The promotion coincided with the controversy over Chick-fil-A CEO’s comments supporting traditional marriage. Gay rights advocates called for boycotts of the franchise and some public officials threatened to deny the company permits to do business in their local jurisdictions.
