Does this hurt? Will it wash off? Will it go away someday?
When these were made they said that at a certain point in time: “All this will go away, ”
SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT WASH OFF
SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO AWAY
“I’m sorry doesn’t cut it, because sometimes it won’t wash off and sometimes it won’t go away. Sometimes it hurts and it never ever goes away.”
Defending Our National Monuments

POLICY. It is DoD policy that: a. The DoD places a high value on the rights of members of the Military Services to observe the tenets of their respective religions or to observe no religion at all. It protects the civil liberties of its personnel and the public to the greatest extent possible, consistent with its military requirements, in accordance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1000.29 (Reference (c)).
The inclusion of these faith based codes now automatically provides international protection for those people by treaty and customs and the relevant information can be found in the GenevaANDHague ConventionsANDThe United Nations regulations and bulletins. If your country recognizes or signed those treaties you now have protection that you did not realize you had before. Know your religious rights.
This is due to the one simple fact that the U.S.A. Department of Defense including the active duty military is one of the largest single groups in the world that people respect. What the DoD and service branches are saying is they must recognize the fact that these faiths and religions are real and people in the U.S.A. military practice them. These categories allow the essential faith groups and the people participating to be legally recognized by the U.S.A. federal government and more importantly the U.S.A. military forces worldwide who will hopefully have a greater understanding of the people they serve. This also opens the door to services by the U.S.A. State Department who follow the Hague conventions as well as protection against religious terrorism domestically and internationally.
Here is some legal language that you can use to help explain to people how this fits in legally with U.S.A. military law.

This is a legal observance this organization, activity and the people participating are protected under the following relevant international treaties and codes:
