Or..........some chaplains may feel that this is not part of the mission of a Christian pastor and may resign their commission.

That will pretty much end the LCMS relationship with the military.

Well, they did such a nice job telling the alter boys about the gay lifestyle, this should be a breeze.

There’s already a shortage of chaplains.
I know one man who decided against joining the Army as a chaplain when he saw the writing on the wall with DADT. I suspect there are many others who have done the same.
He’ll find another way to serve our men and women.

There's a big difference between treating people (as people) in an amicable manner when they have done nothing offensive to you or others, and "respecting" a person's "lifestyle" when that "lifestyle" involves sexual perversion, which is disordered and abusive by definition.
Thi would be a wonderful teachable moment if this priest had some clue about what it is he's supposed to teach... :o(

Christian chaplains should have left the military when they were told not to pray in Jesus’s name. Homosexual tolerance and indoctrination shouldn’t be a problem for humanist chaplains peddling pop religion.

For you non-Catholics, beware anything from Albany. It has been run by Bishop Hubbard who cannot claim the mantle “Catholic”, as he has long been destroying the Church from within, much like Wade Rathke, or Vann Jones, or William Ayers, or Rev Wright etal etal etal having been working to overthrow our nation. This priest is one of Hubbard’s progeny it looks like.

This is a prelude to a purge of the military. Those who will not re-enlist because of this will be prevented from doing so under the guise of “stop-loss”. Then brought up on charges and given a dishonorable discharge. Now which existing article of UCMJ will apply to exercise such a purge? Or will the UCMJ need to be changed.
Next - political commissars - zampolits.

I went to originally went to seminary in the mid 90's to become a chaplain in the Air Force. I've been in 24 years now...and finished seminary in 2002 with my ThD. I did not enter the chaplain corps for this reason.
You do it and preach it the way they want...or you retire a Captain...if you retire at all...

you dont have to agree with them, you will respect them and help them. By not telling them they are wrong they condone the behavior and the sin.

Unfortunately the ongoing revelation of sexual abuse by clergy illuminates how many gay or gay positive individuals have been allowed and perhaps even encouraged to enter the clergy. The end of any restriction on gays in uniform will encourage a migration of gay clergymen and women from all denominations into the chaplains corps. This will definitely be one powerful assist in making the armed forces a ‘gay positive’ institution as part of an on going campaign of using the armed services for social experimentation and implementation of various progressive ideas. The goal is to change the whole culture of the military until it is not military but uniformed enforcers of the state's will. This is not well understood by many traditional conservatives. The gradual but profound changes in the culture of the armed services has been underway since McNamara who deeply distrusted the traditional culturally conservative values that most officers subscribed to whether they were politically conservative or , as was not uncommon in 1960, moderately reformist liberals. We have traveled from the ‘officer as leader’ to the ‘officer as manager’ to sexual integration, importation of post modern legalistic norms of behavior versus traditional warrior/soldier ethics and have now arrived at the verge of women in combat units and the gay lifestyle openly encouraged. Tomorrow it will pressure from the political leadership enforced by complaint general officers to not tolerate but celebrate the gay lifestyle. The relentless pressure to make gays the next de facto protected class in uniform along with blacks and women will occur with concomitant pressure to make sure open gays are prominently featured in each officer promotion cycle. A significant part of the unstated reason for doing these things beyond the visceral dislike the left has for any traditional institution is to turn the military into institutions the left does not have to fear and ones that have been transformed slowly but profoundly from conservative to compliantly liberal irrespective of the views of individual officers and NCO’s. If the day ever arrives when the progressives need to use force to hold on to power they want to make sure most of the armed forces will execute their orders to fire on those parts of the nation and the people who are challenging the left’s grip on the state.

Help them do what? Satisfy their perverted desires?
