A chaplain who once ministered to Navy SEALs could be thrown out of the military after he was accused of failing “to show tolerance and respect” in private counseling sessions in regards to issues pertaining to faith, marriage and sexuality, specifically homosexuality and pre-marital sex, according to documents obtained exclusively by Fox News.

A male lieutenant (who is married to another man) that works in the Chaplain’s office set him up and then called in the EEOC bunch. The Chaplain’s commanding officer (a Captain in the Navy) then removed the Chaplain from duty.

While I have great respect for US soldiers, I would not recommend my kids to join Obama’s military. Political correctness and leftism reigns, and both of those things are very deadly.

I will go further than you.

I am a veteran with a draft-age son. I'd be hard pressed not to send him to Canada if the situation arises.

And, believe me, that is something I never EVER in my life thought I would actually think, much less write down.

They want their military, not our military. When the time comes to turn the guns on all the "racists, sexists, bigots and homophobes," they'll be perfectly willing to do that.

There is certainly no reason anymore to be a military chaplain in the new godless military.

I would recommend to the Chaplain in question, demand a court-martial. He joined the Navy specifically to minister to the spiritual needs of the sailors. That requires a moral component that is being systematically driven from the various branches. A court-martial would bring it to a dramatic conclusion.

Canada may not be far enough. Australia. Better weather, too.

In between hurricanes from the northeast and Roaring Forties gales from the southwest, parching droughts and baking heat in between.

And did I mention rampaging bush fires?

G'day, mate.

“Beliefs belong in church ... enough said.”

And that is exactly where the Chaplain was. In his church where his office was. People come there when they have problems that they hope the Chaplain can help them with. If they want other kinds of counseling they should go elsewhere.

He just thinks he's "married".

I agree. Anyone caught praying in a foxhole should be shot.

“Beliefs belong in church...”

BULLCRAP! A belief that stays in church isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit. If your belief doesn’t direct your life, it isn’t a belief, it’s an aphorism, a bumper sticker.

If you go to a Christian chaplain for advice, you’d better darn will expect CHRISTIAN advice! If you don’t want Christian advice, DON’T GO TO A CHRISTIAN CHAPLAIN!!!

A Christian who does not offer Christian advice when asked is derelict in his duty - let alone a Chaplain.

That is EXACTLY what they want - no chaplains in the military.

And now the Military is dictating morality to Christians. When this Obama fool is gone, there needs to be an accountability held for the military brass that went along with this stuff.

I'm thinking a whole bunch of good little Nazis need to be retired.
