We always had in the ranks the atheist, who I didn't pay attention too.
I can't see why, the Navy would put the words, Atheist, and Chaplain together, someone with nothing to do probably invented the word.
In the police we had the word, "Street Lawyers", People on the street who thought they knew the laws.
With that said, I'm inventing the word, "Field Chaplain", the atheist or others who think that they're a Chaplain, and don't believe in God.
I think, the ranks can have their, "Field Chaplains", and keep the title of "Chaplain" who are real believers in God and know their profession with God, that our solders depend on in the field.
No disrespect to all, the right to believe or not is your right as an individual.
It's just my opinion, I did see and attend religious services in the field, and those non believers, "They were there attending the services too, looking for comfort from the Chaplain, before they met their maker during a fire fight." Salute!

That's a tough one sir, but everyone needs a person of like interest to talk to about what's going on in their lives.

Well stated and yes surprised - I have a friend who was a Christian and due to his combat experience has concluded there is no God. When it comes to war its a doubled edge sword - some find their religion while others loose their religion. I think many in the military could understand either perspective.
