RealClear Defense:
President Trump cares about keeping his word; he said so himself. During the first seven weeks of his presidency, he has begun fulfilling many of his promises made on the campaign trail. But there is one promise that I urge President Trump to fulfill immediately. It’s not a difficult promise to keep: protect religious liberty.
During the campaign, I publicly asked President Trump how he and his administration would protect religious freedom and expression in the military. His response emphasized the importance of protecting religious liberty and free speech. Afterward, President Trump’s campaign contacted me with an additional statement, affirming that religious freedom is “under attack” in the military, “just as it is across our society.”
