The drive by the Christian right to take control of military chaplaincies, which now sees radical Christians holding roughly 50 percent of chaplaincy appointments in the armed services and service academies, is part of a much larger effort to politicize the military and law enforcement. This effort signals the final and perhaps most deadly stage in the long campaign by the radical Christian right to dismantle America’s open society and build a theocratic state. A successful politicization of the military would signal the end of our democracy. { Chris Hedges, . The former New York Times Mideast Bureau chief }
Is this effort but another power grab by Christian Dominionists?

Are you sure that they are Christian? Read the bible so you can know who are the Christian.
Can you call a person a doctor if he does not practice or do doctors work?
Can you call a person a fisherman if he does not work as fisherman.?
There are real Christian, the followers of Christ. Wait for them they are now spreading! They are not the Christian you know, the Christian you know is only claiming that they are Christian.

The military should be able to pray whenever and where ever they so desire.And yes,we should always have military chaplain's.
I dare you to try to stop a Marine with deep religious conviction's from praying.It would be a bad day for you,and anybody else within reach.

i understand a Marine who won made a snigger of with the aid of reality "i grew to grow to be into as rapidly as a Christian and a virgin with the aid of reality of my faith". 2 weeks later he saved the adult males that made a snigger of him through skill of skill of status his floor after being blown up and retaining preserve practices on an same time as that they have been evacuated. Being an actual faith and being gay are 2 very particular concerns. you optimal in all probability are no longer getting that so i could no longer bypass into why. yet genuine it somewhat is an FYI: Serving interior the army isn't a ultimate and the army does not adjust to the variety.

Religion is Evil. So all of the extreme evil followers of evil religion will try to take over. they are evil people. It really does not matter if it's the Christians trying to control the Military Chaplain service or the Extremist Sunni and Shiite Iraqi government. Evil finds a way.
Religion is made for killing and mind control. It is EVIL

They are pernicious. The right-wing religious fanatics must be marginalized as they represent a clear and present danger to freedom and The Constitution. A little bit of religion is like a little bit of syphilis, unless eradicated, it always gets worse.

Yes-it is a power grab. And, as far as I am concerned, the Christian Right has no business controlling anything. They are fanatics.

Of course they should not.
The FIRST obligation of any miltary person is to defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which guarantee us freedom of religion.

Absolutely. Onward Christian soldiers, apparently. Anyone else isn't "good enough" to be considered a patriot and want to defend our country. It makes me quite ill.
