As requested, here’s a roundup of links regarding the Military Religous Freedom Foundation’s investigation of claims that dozens of soldiers have been punished for opting out of attending a religious concert series at Fort Eustis in Virginia, organized by Maj.

For more on his efforts, take a look at this May 25 story, “Mikey Weinstein’s Crusade,” in Foreign Policy magazine.
