No Evangelizing At Recruiting Sites

Here's the first few sentences of a www.military.com article about evangelizing at recruitment centers...

The Pentagon is cracking down on evangelizing at its national network of recruit processing centers, telling religious groups that it won't permit proselytizing at the sites. A new regulation quietly distributed last month to commanders of the 65 centers says that religious literature and publications produced by other "non-federal entities" may be made available to recruits at the sites but that they cannot show favoritism to any particular faith or group.

At first glance, I asked myself why this regulation was needed? But, then I remembered reading news reports by non-Christians in the military regarding what they consider the antagonistic environment they sometimes experience. And, I guess the two go together. Poocher
