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.
