You understand incorrectly. The Court Martial Appeal Court ruled that the order was unlawful (and ipso facto unreasonable).
My second point. How would a Christian feel if he/she was forced to observe (for example) Islamic customs and practices? The CF should not force people to observe one religion or another. People should be free to practice whatever religion (or lack thereof), but not be forced to do so.
As usual, the CF trails behind in modernization of government and social change. This not only applies to multiculturalism, but also workplace safety and environmental protection (at least in my experience, and this should probably be saved for another thread).
It seems that I was right that we couldn't prevent the downhill direction of this discussion again. Too many people take this issue too seriously and emotionally to have a rational, civilized conversation. Before people start to attack me for saying this, I am not necessarily excluding myself. I just think that many people here are talking from the heart, not from the brain. Perhaps the topic should be locked for good?
