"Lieutenant Corporal Dan Klender"

That's a new one on me. I've heard of s Sergeant Major, and saw the M*A*S*H episode when Hawkeye snuck Radar in to the 0fficer's Club as a "Captain Corporal".... But this is the first time I ever heard of a lieutenant corporal.

I believe it should have stated “lieutenant commander”.

Lt. Cmdr. Dan Klender, U.S. Navy

If we win another presidential election, there will be a LOT of housecleaning to do.

It sounds to me like Ms.Nancy Dietsch needs a good freeping e-mail campaign. Sounds like she needs some attention.

I believe this is she. Supervisor: Chaplain Nancy Dietsch Email: nancy.dietsch@va.gov.

Very similar to “Coffee Corporal”, “Latrine Corporal”, followed by “Corporal Punishment”

I pray for the Military every night in Jesus’ name. The bureaucrats can go # themselves.

Don’t quote Scripture, don’t pray in Jesus name? Them’s is fightin’ words, Lady.

Really not that different from civilian life. I had a customer who liked to bait me with political controversies. I saw the man once a day for years, so I’d talk to him freely, only lightly mentioning the Scripture as a nod to our cultural heritage (which is true). One day he wasn’t happy with some response and blurted out “you’re just a Bible-thumping moron!” and stormed off.

He apologized the next day and we were cool from then on, only we were relegated to chit chat (which I hate). As a believer one has to learn to hold their fire. God’s revealed Word is unwelcome in so many cases. Some, such as my customer, can’t bear to hear the mention of it, let alone Him.

Yeah, I was just ‘snarking’ at bad reportage / editing.

Figured he was really either a Navy Lieutenant Commander, or Army, Marine or Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.

Writers should know what they are writing about. A lot don’t.

Beginning today, Sunday Nov 10 though Friday Nov 15 the US Catholic Bishops' Conference is being held in Baltimore, MD.

This is the first meeting of the US Catholic Bishops since the "government shutdown".

It will be interesting to see if the bishops have a statement about the priest who was not allowed to say Mass on a US military base during the "shutdown".

The chaplains are bound by the tenets of their faith to preach in Jesus’ name, to coerce them to deny Him is a clear violation of 1A ...
