You have a point regarding any volunteers threatened with arrest. That would appear to be a violation of their Constitutional rights.
Perhaps more important, since the chaplains received any such orders from superior officers, those officers should be the first to hold the line pursuant to the oaths they swore.
It is clear to me the military at the highest levels should resist such directives from its civilian superiors, not just junior officers in the field.
Gen Dempsey the reptilian Army chief of staff has probably already sent a global email to all commands ordering them to prevent military chaplains from carrying out their priestly duties & threatening to court-martial those commanders or chaplains who disobey.
My God, it’s come to this..............
