Then how about an atheist counselor that plays the part for atheists in the same way that religious counselors play the part for religious personnel? They would have the same confidentiality agreement that other chaplains have.
Really? To each his own.
You think the military allows people to do what they wish?
Yes, the military allows people to do what they wish, if it’s inexpensive and non-disruptive to let them do so. Morale would be an utter mess if it were not so.
Really?
Wasn’t that way when I was in the Navy.
I think you don’t know about the military
You already conceded exactly the same point in post #92
No. I did not. That post is about chaplains.
Bullshit. The UCMJ, and before that the Articles of War, in fact require members of the military to not be un-thinking automatons.
I think you don’t know about the military
[/QUOTE]
More bullshit. His demonstrated knowledge of the US military so far is a blame sight better than yours.
As to your assertion about what I think, since you post utter bullshit constantly it’s yet again no surprise that you got that wrong also. Nowhere did state, assert, imply, infer, intimate, or make a wild-ass guess that members of the US military can just do whatever they want. Had you been in the US Armed Forces, you would’ve received the same training that I had regarding obligations under the UCMJ. One such obligation is not obeying unlawful orders. As members of the US military have, in fact, been punished for following unlawful orders, it is quite obvious to the non-ignorant, non-bullshitters that what Mangetout and I have posted is true and, on the other hand, what you have posted falls into one or more of the following categories: bullshit, horseshit, false, ignorant, wild-ass stupid guess, and simply wrong.
How about you just shut up about stuff you have no knowledge of if you’re not going to post anything on such stuff other than pure ignorant drivel?
Great. One coding error. Here’s the corrected post.

If all you know is reading the UCMJ You don’t know the military, I would love for you tell what you think to a superior officer. I give up.
Only people on TV say ‘superior officer’.
On more than one occasion, I have told both commissioned officers, chief petty officers, and petty officers above me my opinion. As I know quite a bit more about the military than just reading the UCMJ–owing, of course, to my twenty years service–I know how to do that in what’s known as a polite and military manner.
Would that were true. Of course, it’s not. You’ll continue to regale us with your usual asinine bullshit.
You have already established your credentials as having strong views on the topic and on lekatt’s posts.
Let’s tone it down.
[ /Moderating ]
Each and every time lekatt posts the bullshit he did in this thread about the US military, I shall point out that it’s bullshit. That’s not a view. It’s a fact. Not my fault lekatt is unfamiliar with fact.
What was your rank and position please?
I was a radarman third class petty officer.
Nobody says “radarman third class petty officer”.
Do you outrank Tom? I agree you have been very rude and you are not supposed to be a jerk on this board. But I still love you.
Monty will rein in his hostility.
On the other hand, you will also refrain from this condescending, faux saintly bullshit–about which you have been admonished previously.
Knock it off.

I am not kidding Tom I mean it, I love, it is my way of life.
I don’t get angry or feel any need for revenge.
I am secure
Whatever you tell yourself that you believe, your choiice of expression is condescending and insulting.
Stop it.
[ /Moderating ]
I don’t tell myself anything, I either believe or don’t believe. I will stop posting “I love you” only because you demanded.
