because the activity was pray, so in effect if the team requirement was to pray, be it as it may, even pull out the carpet and bow to Mecca at the precise times, then it should have the same impact, no?
so putting it in perspective of activity which is the crux of the leadership aspect, which is why I framed it as such.
People won't dispense with such kinds of sentences in corporate america, I have a hard time beleiving that the words came out exactly in that manner. I'd go with, praying was cited as an example. If they can't ask or can't tell about homosexuality logic seems to me that subjugating someone to prayer also isn't logical.
again, the article leaves lots of opportunity for perspective jiggering.

Whether or not he excells in athletics such as football, or even has an interest in football should not matter either, the military's job is to kill our enemies and break their stuff, not to know the latest NFL standings or to be able to know the basic fundamentals of the sport. (I happen to love football, though I'm not much of an athlete)

very true, but in the tests of leadership, if it's sensed that he cannot lead because he doesn't garner the respect of the team, then it doesn't matter what the reasons are or his performance. Just because you think you should be promoted doesn't mean you are.
