06-24-2021 The U.S. Army has decided not to issue a formal reprimand against Chaplain (Major) Andrew Calvert for expressing his religious beliefs online. As CBN News reported in May, the Army harshly reprimanded a Calvert for an old post on his personal Facebook page supporting the Department of Defense's (DOD) exclusion of transgender service members, which was DOD policy at the time the post was made. Calvert was punished after expressing his religious beliefs in a news article in support of the DOD policy. But an Army investigator concluded Chaplain Calvert's religious beliefs violated Army policy and the Army suspended Calvert from his duties as chaplain.
