I cannot imagine my country not allowing our chaplains to not address their troops before going into battle or in the evac hospitals where our soldiers,Marines,sailors, airmen or their companions lay dying or severely wounded..

We cannot ask the Almighty One's blessing on our people and our wars and then be arrogant enough to dismiss him from our daily lives, including our public lives.

Not even for the sake of a minority of vocal troublemakers and misfits whose 'right' to tantrum seems to outweigh the rights of that quiet majority who are too busy doing the work God would have them do,should we the people allow our troops to suffer such dangerous foolishness from their so called leaders.

Any commander who would order such a thing...should be relieved of command as he has already been relieved of his honor and or sanity.

imo

The idea that somehow we must protect folks from the fact that America is religiously diverse is sheer foolishness. The law says that chaplains are legal in military units. The law also requires them to conduct worship in their various units.

Just let them be themselves. It all balances out...just like America.
