From the article (emphasis added):
Despite dismal critic reviews, the numbers suggest audiences turned out for “Melania” to support the first lady. One advocacy group suggests the reality may be more complicated.
Mikey Weinstein, the president and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said the nonprofit received reports from eight bases around the world that U.S. military members were being "pressured" to see “Melania.”
“People are scared,” said Weinstein, a former Air Force officer and attorney who said his group is made up of nearly 100,000 current and former members of the U.S. military and represents those who feel pressured or coerced into unconstitutional religious observances. “They were pressured to see the movie.”
“Your military superior, that's not your shift manager at Taco Bell or Starbucks. They have complete and total control over you.”
