It's been a while since Christianity or, heck, even religion has played a part in the so-called chaplaincy of the United States military.
Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care. If you need proof just look at the current Army Spiritual Fitness Guide. In 100 pages it mentions God one time. That's it. It mentions 'feelings' 11 times, it even mentions 'playfulness' - whatever that is - nine times.
No wonder we're wimpy, weak, and woke (to paraphrase a certain Christian musician).
Our military has become worried about the feelings and playfulness of troops more than their eternal souls.
There's zero mention of virtue, the guide relies on New Age notions saying that the soldiers spirit consists of conscience, creativity, and connection.
The guide self-reports that around 82% of the military are religious, yet, ironically, it alienates our warfighters of faith by pushing secular humanism.
In short it's unacceptable and unserious. So we're tossing it. I have a directive right here that I will sign today to eliminate the use of the Army Spiritual Fitness Guide effective immediately ...
Our chaplains are chaplains. Not emotional support officers ...
We are also simplifying the faith and belief coding system.
Here are a few reactions.
Sadly, it can all be undone if a Democrat ever returns to office.
If Pete wants to make this happen, I know exactly how to decide who to hire for each military branch. 👇
