Freedom Of Religion In The Military

LEFT,RIGHT,LEFT, LEFT. It was basically suicide because they marched right into their deaths. But, the Negroes, knew there was no other technique available. Determined, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw led every black man and himself into the battlefield. They sacrificed themselves so all man & women could be equal. As a result, out of 1,515 men, 246 were killed, 880 wounded, 389 missing & captured total, this was known as the Battle of Fort Wagner. Black man fought for our country when they didn't even have the same rights as everyone else and after this war nothing hadn't really changed, so I think they died in vain. Over centuries, millions of soldiers have gave their last full measure of devotion which means they have sacrificed their own life's

just for our freedom. In order for these soldiers to not have died in vein, I think the government should uphold Amendment l: Freedom of religion because the religion of many soldiers might be very culturally diverse, Amendment Vll: the right to sue because if someone's tries to take advantage of you in an illegal manner, you should have the right to sue them, and lastly, Amendment Vlll : cruel and unusual punishments because it protect from being over punished.

To begin with, I think the government should uphold freedom of religion because the religion of many soldiers might be very culturally diverse, which means every soldier's religion is not the same.

Freedom of religion is the right to practice whatever religion one chooses. According to, the Statistics in 2016, eighty-three percent of the majority of the Americans follow Christian religions. However, the other twelve percent, have other faiths, atheist, agnostics, don't care or don't know. Leaving the 5 percent Non-Christian Faiths, like Jerusalem's, Islamics, Buddhism, & Hinduism. In 1941, the military ordered ''white blood only'' donations for white troops, so they didn't have worry about other religions other than their own. Also, because slavery had not been abolished by president Lincoln , so therefore this freedom did not apply to them. Now, thanks to this freedom, Army's have improved and Army programs are available for all cultures and ethnicities. Also, a Muslim police officer who says he was suspended during the fasting month of Ramadan for refusing to shave his one-inch beard. If you didn't know, Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim year, during which strict fasting is observed from sunrise to sunset it is forbidden to shave your beard at this time. Additionally, In 2011, he was required to sign a form agreeing not to wear his beard longer than one millimeter, but he continued to wear it longer and was fired.Therefore, his boss violated his first amendment. So, if someone very serious about their religion fought for our country and didn't have this freedom, they would die in

vain.

Furthermore, I think the government should also uphold the freedom of the having right to sue because if someone's tries to take advantage of you in an illegal manner, you should have the right to sue them. When you sue someone you take legal actions against someone. Every year, they're millions of people on the show judge Judy wanting to sue someone. Earlier in my essay, I mentioned the muslim police officer who was suspended for refusing to shave his beard. As a result, the New York Police Department has been sued. A Chicago women named Camacho used the app UberPool which allows multiple passengers who don't know each other to share rides if they're heading in the same direction, but, right when she got in the vehicle the passenger in the front seat allegedly turned around and began slashing Camacho with a 3-inch blade. She argues Uber should have known that passengers could become violent with one another, since they are strangers, so, they should've checked each other's backgrounds. If the women didn't have the right to sue, the women wouldn't have any extra money to help her pay for the damages of her face. In addition, a veteran sues every e-cigarette company because his e-cigarette exploded in his pocket, leaving himself with third degree burns. So, a veteran fought for our country and then is now suffering third degree burns, if this veteran didn't have this freedom, soldiers died in vain because soldiers are suffering after they have completed their time.

Lastly, I think the government should also uphold amendment Vlll : cruel and unusual punishments because it protect from being over punished. Throughout the course of U.S Executions, since 1976, 158 out of 1,389 convicted murderers were executed by electric chair, the last use was in 2013. 11 out of 1,389 were executed by gas chamber, the last was in 1999. 3 out of 1,389 were executed by hanging, the last was in 1996. Again, 3 out of 1,389 were executed by firing squad, the last was in 2010. These different types of methods for executions were later categorized as cruel and unusual punishments. I think the method we use now, which is lethal injection is far from as cruel as the other executions because the victim should be unconscious before they would start to feel any pain.

Overall, I think the government should uphold freedom of religion because the religion of many soldiers might be very culturally diverse, the right to sue because if someone's tries to take advantage of you in an illegal manner , and cruel and unusual punishments because its protect you from being over punished. Without these three freedoms, soldiers have died in vain. Unfortunately, millions of soldiers have already gave their last full measure of devotion and they have died in vain because they died for freedoms they never received.
