"The United States Corps of Chaplains is not an entity of, nor

It is a non-profit organization that discriminates by religion...


Good. Just occasionally I envy the Yanks for having secularism (pretty
much) enshrined in the constitution. Here in UK, where the Anglican
church
is a branch of government, chaplains in both the armed services and
National
Health Service are paid-for by the taxpayer.

Military services, Veterans Administration, and probably Public Health
Service "real" chaplains are paid by the U.S. government.
I have no idea how it is justified.

They feed you meds as food for your health.
They feed you food as food for your body.
They feed you knowledge as food for your intellegence.
They feed you spiritual comfort as food for your soul.

It's a smorgasboard. Take what ya want. If ya don't like the way the
spiritual food is prepared, you don't have to partake. Just because you do
not, does not mean that those that enjoy and relish it should be denied.

At tax payer expense?

I do not have a problem with that. After all, a war zone chaplain needs
special training for the special needs of the troops. It does not interfere
with the constitution concerning setting up a national religion. It
acknowledges that many of our military personnel have a spiritual side that
must be fulfilled. They are often hundreds or thousands of miles away from
their home congregation. I'm neither Christian, Jew, nor Muslim, nor any
"eastern" religion. I dislike others infringing upon my belief, but I cannot
tolerate others who infringe on others beliefs. Attending a military
religious service is like attending a movie shown by the military: troop
morale. Ya don't HAVE to attend a military religious service, just like you
don't have to attend a military entertainment movie (versus training films)
or USO show.

It is necessary for the troops to operate at maximum efficiancy.

Wow! I didn't realize my post would create such discussion.

The mission of the United States Corps of Chaplains is --

to provide ministerial support and services to communities, families,
and individuals and all possible assistance in response to disasters of any
type;

to provide military honors and assistance to active military personnel,
veterans, and their families;

to promote patriotism in the community;

to defend the Constitution of the United States of America;

to uphold and defend the Bill of Rights, seen as unalienable, given by
God to free men that they might remain free;

to ensure that all citizens, regardless of race, color, religion, sex,
physical characteristics, or national origin, shall have the right and
opportunity to practice their religion as established and guaranteed by that
document which guides this great nation.

Some of our Chaplains are American Red Cross certified Instructors and some
have even received training from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). Law Enforcement as well as some Forensic Chaplains volunteer with
our organization. We have offered our services to post-Katrina efforts and
to the Crash of Flight 5191 in Lexington, KY. We also have some Chaplains
on active duty.

We do not require ordination, however, for the award of the title,
"Chaplain," verified ordination is required. We need Recruiters, Chaplain
Assistants, Personnel Officers, Administrative Officers, Disaster
Responders, YOU!!! With the current outlook for tornados, drought, forest
fires, and a very busy hurricane season, let us remember the Commonwealth of
Kentucky's motto, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall."

If you or anyone you know are interested in becoming a member of an
organization dedicated to nurturing the living, caring for the dying, and
honoring the dead, please feel free to contact us at: www.uscochq.com, or by

I'm sorry to add another insight into this seemingly never-ending series of
stupid posts from so-called Chaplain (Colonel) Lonnie J. Potter, who says to
contact him at , not seeming to understand that
chaplains do not carry sidearms, and the US Army does not now carry the Colt
..45 and he seems to have withdrawn his picture in 1980's European
camouflage, which is now not used, and he is not now, nor has he ever been,
a chaplain in the US Army, which is what he wants everybody to think that he
is.

Of course, since this is alt.binaries.pictures.military, he could post his
commission. He could also post to us.military.army, where army people post.
But he won't.

Of course, I could be completely wrong, and he is a colonel in the US army
chaplains corps. It's easy to prove, especially since he has chosen to post
in only one group, and one that does pics.....

Yep, have to agree with you Dave. The world needs balance,
without the Potters and their kind, we tend to get a little Nazi heavy.


Don't need to rapture too early.

So how many red light tents should we deploy with the troops to

It would depend on how many were needed, as well as how many volunteers
signed up (including civilian) Camp followers have a long tradition working
with the military.

Bob,

Quit being a dick. You don't like it, STFU and move on...

Why don't you STFU asshole and don't read it.

I was ordered to attend so called christian church services in basic
training and told I had to put down a christian religion on my dog
tags. I didn't like it then and I don't like paying taxes to support
military churches. The churchs want to pay chaplain wages that is
fine. Just keep my taxes out of it.



where and when was you basic
I know in 1974 at Lackland that was not the case You could go to church or
not nad you were'nt forced to put down any particular religious affiliation


The are chaplins in the military from all faiths.

Then someone screwed up, big time. I admit that would chafe my ass,
too, but I've known too many grunts to think that was "official."
Sounds like you got stuck with a real dillweed.

Next time really screw with 'em and just declare yourself pagan...

Yes, you can do that...
