SAN DIEGO Two California chaplains have filed suit against the secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), alleging that they had been forced out of a training and placement program because of their Christian faith.
Chaplains Major Steven Furtko and Lieutenant Corporal Dan Klender state that they were repeatedly harassed and threatened while enrolled in the San Diego Clinical Pastoral Education Center program last fall and winter. The men claim that their instructor/supervisor, Nancy Dietsch hassled them throughout their time at the center over their Biblical beliefs.
Furtko and Klender outline that they were informed during the classroom instruction period that both Dietsch and the VA do not allow chaplains to pray in Jesus name in public ceremonies. When they attempted to quote Scripture during class discussions, they were personally reprimanded.
Ms. Dietsch informed the class she believes God could be a man or woman. Chaplain Firtko [then] recited the Lords Prayer, stating, Our Father. who art in Heaven, the lawsuit states. In response, Ms. Dietsch angrily pounded her fist on the table and shouted, Do not quote Scripture in this class!

“If we win another presidential election, there will be a LOT of housecleaning to do.”
When Bush took over, he did absolutely no housecleaning whatsoever.
More attacks on Christian Chaplains by the DoD
Odds are 10 to 1 Nancy is a Dyke.
I believe you left out the word BULL.
I'm hoping they mean Lieutenant Colonel.
This idiotic "don't pray in Jesus' name" garbage began all this nonsense in the military chaplaincy with those who thought that it was somehow neutral.
Buy a clue, chaplain trainers, IMPOSED neutrality is NOT free exercise. IMPOSED neutrality is a Government mandated preferred religion.
“I’m hoping they mean Lieutenant Colonel.”
The Navy would be very confused by that rank.
He is a Lt. Commander I think.
I agree that he could be a lieutenant commander, but lieutenant colonel is both an Army and a Marine rank (Lt Col Oliver North, for example), and the other chaplain was a major. Therefore, I’m thinking we’re talking about a program run with chaplains from either the Army or Marines. However, the Marines would also train with the Navy, so either way, I’m ok with it.
I know and that ticked me off and still does. He left all of Bubba's and Hillary's people in there and I'm sure they are now serving obama and Valerie.
I'm sure a cleaning would cause a HUGH ruckus and complaints about how we are losing all the "experienced" people. That's the point, lefties, that's the point. They are experienced in selling this country out to any lefty/muzzlem country.
Merely as an FYI, the Marine Corps does not have it’s own Chaplains.......those, along with medical support (doctors, corpsmen etc), are provided by the Navy.
And it seems Nancy Dietsch herself is bucking for a promotion in rank to "In-Admirable Demon Petty Pagan Ossifer of Lucifer, Third Class".

Only picture I could find was one on FB and that was my first thought.......
Her salary is $92,319:

Sorry but I’m not sure that I’d want that person as a customer. I’ve fired customers before for being anti-faith. They don’t need to be my faith but if they ridicule all faith they’re not someone that I choose to work with.
Jeepers... Thanks for the ping!
Yes, this persecution is being mandated from the top down.
