This sickens me to the core.

Please read the thread, not just the headline. The headline is crafted to draw people's sympathy while misleading you about the real issue.

When we start giving chaplains orders not to pray, when do they tell you and me we cannot? This is getting insane when these people tell us that we should reject Jesus Christ, when the MSM can damn anyone with Christian beliefs, yet smother the Islamic fanatics with love and affection. They RECOGNIZE Islam as a religion of peace, yet damn Christianity??? Give me a break. I don't care what the headlines and the story differ. The fact remains, IF THE MILITARY IS GOING TO HAVE CHAPLAINS, ANY CHAPLAIN, then that chaplain has an absolute right to practice his religion regardless of the type of faith. Giving orders to Chaplains that they cannot pray here or there is stupid. I have known Chaplains in the military who did not believe in war. Just because they were in the military did not mean they HAD to support war. They were there to minister to the troops and their families. Just as ministers travel to very bad parts of the world to try to minister to other types of peoples. These individuals chose the military. If we are going to have them, then leave them the hell alone to practice their religion.
