Yes, it’s back, but this time those who are reluctant to tell are military personnel who are opposed to homosexual activity. They are seeking reassurances that they will not be punished for “telling”.

When does the US military find the time to actually fight?

From here:

Military chaplains are calling for reassurances that troops will not be punished if they speak out about their opposition to homosexuality.

According to Associated Press, a joint letter from retired chaplains from 21 religious groups to the lead chaplains of the Army, Navy and Air Force says that troops may be unable to speak openly if they fear punishment.

Douglas E Lee, a former military chaplain who signed the letter, said that the lifting of the ban on openly gay soldiers was “already an assault and a challenge on individual conscience and some soldiers may think it’s forcing them to abandon their religious beliefs or being marginalised for holding to those beliefs”.
