According to a Kansas paper<\/a>, Army Specialist\u00a0Jeremy\u00a0Hall (who is currently suing the Defense Department for “religious proselytizing”), was rebuffed in a visit to the IG\u00a0to complain about “violations of his religious freedoms.”\u00a0 Weinstein said this “undermines” the DoJ’s move to dismiss, which cited\u00a0Hall’s failure to\u00a0use the in-place grievance systems.<\/p>\n

According to the article, the visit occurred “earlier this month.”\u00a0 That would make it appear to be a response<\/em> to the DoJ motion, which was filed<\/a> last<\/em> month, and possibly an attempt to generate content for Hall’s response to the motion, which is due next month.\u00a0 In addition, Weinstein (a former JAG) appears not to see a conflict of interest with\u00a0the Army conducting an internal investigation about charges which are currently involved in, or related to, an ongoing federal lawsuit in which it is essentially a defendant.<\/p>\n

According to the article, Weinstein also plans to bring up the fact that someone posted a mock Soldier’s creed (that ridiculed soldiers with medical duty waivers) in Hall’s platoon area.\u00a0 The article lists a previously unknown medical restriction for Hall.\u00a0 How Weinstein\u00a0plans to integrate the faux creed\u00a0about physical fitness\u00a0into a lawsuit about religion is unclear. The sarcastic modification of military mantras is\u00a0a fairly common brand of critical cynicism in the military, and is limited neither to the Army’s creed nor physical conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
