Isn't that the truth, it is pretty bad when this world is such a sad shape, that things like this don't shock us anymore. Does this mean we are just giving up on the state of the ways things are in this world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that would have a negative impact on many troops who have faith and enjoy the benefits of having a chaplain with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a young man who went into the service in order to become a chaplain and has completed his trainings, he says yes they must do as commanded and being in the service as a chaplain doesn't give them their personal freedoms of opinion or choices to go against them own moral ethics. This young man is now in the process of leaving the military because of these very situation. Honestly though all I have to go by on this is this young mans point of view and really wonder what would happen to one if they refused to perform these wedding.

He would be charged with disobeying an order, as any other serviceman would be. When you join the service, you belong to them and are require to obey direct orders, no matter what your personal morals or faith tells you. He could protest, but he would more then likely loose in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
