Laird Allows God References in Army Character Guidance
Defense Secretary Laird overruled the Army and approved use of God and supreme being terms in military character guidance programs. He stated no prohibition on religious words while noting the programs are separate from chaplains led religious services and counseling. A study ordered last week will continue, with recommendations to follow, and chaplains retain ongoing duties for worship, instruction, and church activities.
