“Defense Department spokeswoman Eileen Lainez told FoxNews.com that some of Schmitz’s recommendations have since been incorporated into vetting policy.

Don´t look for anyone in the Pentagon to check this. The whole DOD has been compromised.

IMO there ought NOT be ANY Muslim Chaplains in ANY American
organization/ I like our Military better when we were told up front we had a choice Protestant, Catholic, Jew —or Nothing at ALL.Back before the satanic church gained its foothold in the Pentagon.

There should not be ANY Muslim chaplains because there should not be any Muslims allowed in US Military uniform. The Muslim doctrine of Taqiyya makes their oaths worthless. They cannot be trusted. Period.
