A soldier was playing adult coed softball with his church when entering the game the umpire noticed that the soldier had on his dog tags and rudely told him to remove them. Without any conflict the soldier removed them and ran to take his place on the field. While running out, the women working in the booth said something to the umpire about how he handled the situation with the soldier and the umpire responded by saying something along the lines of ‘I don’t care- he isn’t at war.’ This conversation occured, unbeknownst to the umpire, right in front of the soldiers wife. The soldiers wife was very hurt because her husband has sacrificed a lot to wear those dog tags but said nothing. After the game the soldier had a few CHOICE WORDS with the umpire after speaking to his wife about why she was upset and now his integrity as a person and a Christian is in question.
