The chaplain criticized one of his supervisors, Lt. Col. Phillip Wright of Fort Drum in New York, by name and gave details...LTC Wright is not a "supervisor" he is a superior. A big time military no-no.

Not a very bright thing to do in the US Military. These are "superior officers", not just "supervisors", and they own his a$$, for as long as he's in there.

I suppose this guy didn't know when he became a Protestant chaplain that he would be expected to minister to Protestants of all denominations?

Chaplains must be there for all the troops, not just for one faith.
The RC Sky Pilot at 12th Evac in Cu Chi was a great guy. He cared for a group of geese. Called them his "faithful flock."
Even though he called me a "Heathen Protestant" (with a smile). his rug work must have had a lot of Mojo with the Almighty. Got me through two surgeries there.

Uh, you don't go out of the chain of command. That's rule one in the military. This guy broke the rule. Tough!

One cannot criticize their superior officer. A crime that carries a large punishment. They can file a complaint with his superior but one never has the authority to criticize in public ones superior.
Bad idea to violate the UCMJ.
