Says this con man, I mean chaplain. “The bottom line is that you don’t have to be a great preacher, you don’t have to be a skilled counselor,” the chaplain said, “but if you will love the men and spend time with them, you’re in.” He forgot to mention that you must also ask God to bless the troops as they are fighting an unjust war. Oh, and don’t even think about criticizing American involvement in some senseless foreign war. For more, see my article “Should a Christian Be a Military Chaplain?”
