The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has a curious definition of the First Amendment.

At the group's behest, the Army opted to remove from Facebook four videos involving military chaplains who made explicit references to God and prayer in relation to the coronavirus pandemic.

"Four recent videos involving chaplains Cpt. Amy Smith and Maj. Scott Ingram posted on the Facebook page of the Army's 10th Mountain Division Sustainment Brigade at Fort Drum, N.Y., were taken down after MRFF founder and president Mikey Weinstein sent a demand letter claiming they violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment," Fox News reported last week.

The MRFF called it "illicit proselytizing."

I cringe whenever I hear of America's armed forces taking a stand to turn their back on God.
Now I'm inclined to believe that there never was, or will ever be, a tank commander of the caliber George S. Patton proved to be in WW-2.  This is a man who championed himself as a warrior for God and the Unite States of America. As such this request for prayer before battle is noteworthy:

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations."
