I have zero doubt the pro-Obama admin saw elevating a Muslim to Chief of Chaplains, a 2 star rank, as a huge win for islam. That means they fast-tracked some islamics for quick promotion. That is what is happening here.
Have no doubt. It will be interesting to see if this elevation continues after this chaplain’s division chaplaincy. His next step would be promotion to full bird.
The chaplaincy hierarchy I knew was extremely sensitive to political correctness. But I’ve been out some time now.
