"There is no greater contradiction than the chaplain of the regiment", as somebody once wrote. Modern military chaplains only go back to the Napoleonic Wars, when European armies began hiring them to give religious sanction to war. Napoleon thought they were a stupid idea however, so the French Army did not begin the practice until later in the nineteenth-century.

Hmm, I see that the United States of Absurdity is steadily become the run-away train of religion in stead of being the standing joke of religion and its rampant stupidity.

Yep. Christian supremacists will use every dirty trick in the book.

Wouldn't using the military to convert people to Christianity violate the 1st Amendment? Yeah...

Without a doubt. The fuckwads don't care; the constitution only applies to them when it supports one of their causes.
