Military Religious Freedom, Tolerance, and Self-Contradiction
self-con·tra·dic·tion
noun: inconsistency between aspects or parts of a whole.
“Tolerance isn’t just a virtue for us; it’s a practical necessity,” [Secretary of Defense Ash Carter] told [Foreign Policy].
Meanwhile: “Eglin removes Bible from clinic following retiree’s complaint.”
Tolerance? The Bible — which was surrounded by other reading material on a waiting room table — was removed because a retiree was offended that he could see it.
What about the offense of those who like to read it?

I wonder if this retiree would be just as offended if there was a Playboy magazine on the table in plain sight? There are much greater things to get offended about!
