We may need a new Secretary of Defense.
We DO need a new Secretary of Defense!
There! Fixed it!
I am a retired chaplain. This is a travesty for any unit this chaplain is assigned to. Although we observe restrictions against proselytizing another denomination’s members, we still pray, guide, and counsel under the banner of being a religious presence. When Patton asked his chaplain for a prayer, he did not expect a treatise on the illogic of that assignment... or a recusal.
When injured soldiers asked for prayer, they did not expect a rejection of faith, a thought about positive thinking, or a recusal.
They were concerned with the beyond, the life after life.
The chaplaincy is wrong not to stand for their religious mission.
This country is taking a ride in the porcelain convenience into Oblivion.
