Military ministers have rules also: they have to be ready to minister "sacraments" to every and any military person in need, in their own religion. It doesn't matter if the Minister is a Christian by faith...if the soldier needing his services is a Satanist, the Christian minister has to perform a Satanic service!
Military chaplins in the Middle East have had to perform Islamic buriel rites, something that is AGAINST their own religion, on dying Muslims.
Conversely, if a Christian minister is called to the bedside of an athiest, he is not *allowed* to violate the athiest soldier's beliefs. They can have a conversation about whatever the soldier desires, nothing more.
It is all part of the job.

Don't dog tags state a person's religion? I'm sure that there are priests, rabbis, ministers, and secular counselors available for everyone. Why even Satanism is recognized as an official religion by the Army.

Just as soon as they prohibit the wounding of those folks.

No they should not. These young men and women need to hear about the love of Jesus Christ. Satan wants His name stopped, and we can't let that happen. We need to stand up and speak the name of Jesus.

as they say - there are no athiests in foxholes....
on board ships and in various military compounds and at all military affairs - they have a chaplin present who offers a prayer. so IMO -- nope! unless. of course, the person requests otherwise.
