Should the U.S. military provide chaplains?

yes. people of faith want to go to them for comfort. it can only help their mental status.

atheist.

While I would agree that the chaplains where my husband and I are stationed are useless, other chaplains do serve a purpose. They lead funeral services, provide emotional and spiritual support for all soldiers regardless of religion or lack thereof, provide support for the families of the soldiers, direct soldiers and their families to other resources, and are generally an advocate. A much-needed advocate.

And not all chaplains are Christians. Some aren't religious, but are merely theists.

Yes, by all means I was a soldier in the Army, during peace time. I was stationed in Hawaii for three years, it can get emotionally stressful in situations that a chaplain being around is a good person to talk to, in relieving stress from the military training. Sometimes soldiers have to embark on missions for weeks, having a chaplain in the field helps. Chaplains are officers and they deserve the rank that they are given.

Now it somewhat is in basic terms stupid for obtrusive motives already pronounced. And chaplains are no longer a clean progression, nor "phenomenon." Preachers, pastors, and chaplains have been with the U. S. protection rigidity because of the fact the creation of the U. S. protection rigidity. they are there for people who choose them.

Because many of the soldiers are Christians and could do with some moral support during war, maybe?

chaplins boost the moral of the troops!help with so verry meny diferent things including word to and from loved ones........... the us military spends$ 3,000 for a hammer$600 for a toilet seat$1000 for a box of asprin and so much more waste i think a chaplins salery is not an issue GROW UP!!!!

They are there to offer comfort and prayer to soldiers who are believers and are away from their own pastor and church family. They have a right to have this available to them when they are away and serving.

I think they help out and stuff as well.
