Did a 2-star general just violate that many regs in 30 seconds?

I discovered a video that is probably about to be deleted. The video features a 2-star general stumping for Centurion’s Watch – a traveling bible-based marriage retreat aimed at military members. “Centurions Watch is a wonderful way that you can help.

National Guard’s new religious ads: “(only some of) you are needed here”

This advertisement seems to be saying that the United States Army National Guard needs Christian soldiers. What about Jews? Muslims? Buddhists? Atheists? I am a natural-born American citizen and a patriot…
