Replace the Chaplains?


For John, BLUF:  Disrespecting those of faith.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



This is an older item, but somewhat timeless.  In the web presence of The Marine Corps Gazette is an article by Capt Timothy Riemann, asking why have a Chaplain Corps.  His title is "Why the Department of the Navy needs counselors".♠  His thesis is that the chaplains don't cut it.  The article can be found here.

From the Comments:

Wasn't Maj Hasan a LPC (physciatrist)?
That would be Army Major Nidal Hasan, who used to be stationed at Fort Hood, in Texas.

♠  Department of the Navy encompasses both the Navy and the Marine Corps.  The Navy Department is the US Navy itself, without the Marines, who are under the Commandant.

  1. Pretty good leap from chaplains to psychiatrists. Wonder what "faith" this Marine professes. Wanna bet "None?"

Please be forthright, but please consider that this is not a barracks.
