A group with a federal lawsuit in Kansas alleging widespread religious discrimination within the military called Wednesday for the Army to court martial its chief of chaplains.
But a spokesman said the Army respects soldiers' right to worship freely "at all times and in all locations."
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation sought Maj. Gen. Douglas Carver's ouster on the day Carver designated for prayer and fasting for chaplains. It also was the start of Passover, observed with a ritual meal, or Seder, by Jews.
Foundation President Mikey Weinstein said his Albuquerque-based group has received numerous complaints about Carver's proclamation in March calling for Wednesday's fasting and prayer.
The proclamation calls for chaplains to act "in keeping with your religious traditions." Carver later issued an addendum saying participation was voluntary and that he consulted with two senior Jewish chaplains.
