if you have not seen the powerpoint slides, how can you comment on their content?
I know it is bad to make assumptions however I assume that a PowerPoint on how to properly handle the Koran is a PowerPoint on how to properly handle the Koran. To handle it any other way than you would a normal book must imply that there is a reason for doing it. Should it be any different than handling the Koran then it would be in handling the Bible? If so why!
First, Chaplain, thank you for your service. It seems clear that you've been treated less than fairly by some on the internet.
Second, you've asked a valid question about seeing the slides.
It is possible that you could request permission from your chain of command to post the slides online and link to them here and elsewhere? Since you've been a Freeper for more than a dozen years, I think there's a good likelihood that seeing the slides would make a lot of conservative critics a lot less unhappy with you.
Unless the slides are security-sensitive, I'm guessing that anybody could FOIA those slides and post them online whether you like it or not. However, getting out in front with the truth could be helpful in rebutting rumors.
For anyone in your chain of command who objects, reminding them of the Army Public Affairs catchphrases of “Bad news does not improve with age” and “maximum disclosure, minimum delay” might help.
