However, if they only result in verbal/written reprimand or a reduction in pay/grade or discharge, then I have no issue. Any employer can legally do the same to their employee and it is not a forfeit of any rights, same for all the rest of the things listed.

However, reasonable accommodations for religious beliefs are mandated by law for every employer. So I do not see that the military should be any different.

So you think if a soldier just walks off base or worse off a battlefield they should only face discharge? The rules in the military aren't there becaus they think it's fun to boss people around.
