> [@Bear\_Nenno](#): > > Because the Army does NOT issue crucifixes to the Chaplain Corps. Your premise is incorrect, so your entire point is invalid. > The cross is not a symbol of the Chaplain Corps, it is a symbol worn by _Christian_ Chaplains. Jewish chaplains, muslim chaplains, etc wear insignia relevant to _their_ beliefs. > Christianity is not the official religion of the US Army. No person is forced to wear a cross. Even the Chapel is a religiously neutral building. There is no cross at the top of a Chapel. The schedule of worship services at a Chapel includes all religions. > > Now on to your story about the Chaplain walking around town wearing the cross on his uniform. It is no secret that many Americans are Christian and that many religious leaders (Chaplains) in the US Military are Christian. So for one particular Christian Chaplain to sport his cross should not come as a surprise to anyone, least of all Afghani citizens. I actually like the idea of him sitting down so that people from different theological perspectives can get past their differences and start working on the water issues or electricity or agriculture or security in the area. > > What would come as a shock is if EVERY Chaplain (not just the Christian ones) and EVERY soldier was issued a cross to wear on patrol. See the difference? It was a sewn/stitched ACU patch where the rank insignia typically goes, about 3/4 of the way up on the front of his field jacket. If I understand you correctly, the Christian chaplains have those made up on their own? Consider my ignorance fought. I am just surprised that the Military allows non issued patches to be applied to one’s uniform. Everyone knows that Christianity is not the official religion of the US Military, except it seems, those that we are fighting. Is your issue with the verse code the fact you are carrying a scope so marked and you are personally offended, or that the verse would somehow offend those who you are either fighting against or those who we are tying to convince that we are the good guys? If it’s the former, I understand and agree completely. If it is the later, I guess I would ask which is more offensive, that Chaplain walking around with the locals shouting JESUS via the patch his jacket or cap, or the letters and numbers marked on a scope? ---

But your sarcasm requires the premise that there was some functional marking that was unintentional as a religious message but was interpreted that way by people. That’s not the case.

> [@JXJohns](#): > > Everyone knows that Christianity is not the official religion of the US Military, except it seems, those that we are fighting. I’m not sure that’s true. Based on some news stories and some other threads on the board, I’m not sure a lot of the Christians inside the US military, even in important high ranking positions, are aware that the US Army is not officially the Christian Army. Non-Christians have been harassed and when reported sometimes goes unanswered. The former Commander in Chief openly said that he was essentially on a mission from (the Christian) God regarding Iraq. By no means is it totally clear cut that the US army is not at all a religiously driven institution, and stuff like this helps substantiate the position of those who want it to be. > [@](#): > > Is your issue with the verse code the fact you are carrying a scope so marked and you are personally offended, or that the verse would somehow offend those who you are either fighting against or those who we are tying to convince that we are the good guys?

That’s actually an interesting question. How much prosetylzing work do chaplains do? I have no idea. But for me, barking up this tree only convinces me that it’s wrong to have Chaplains, rather than that it’s right to put Christian messages on our weapons. ---

If I understand you correctly, the Christian chaplains have those made up on their own? You are not understanding it correctly at all. You stated that the Army issues crosses to the Chaplain Corps. As if all Chaplains are issued crosses. This is not correct. Similarly, all Chaplains are not issued crescent moon patches. So you can’t scream “The Army issued the **Chaplain Corps** crescent moon insignias! They are trying to convert everyone to Islam” Muslim Chaplains get issued their Islamic insignia and prayer mats. Catholic Chaplains get issued their incense burners and crosses. > [@](#): > > Is your issue with the verse code the fact you are carrying a scope so marked and you are personally offended, or that the verse would somehow offend those who you are either fighting against or those who we are tying to convince that we are the good guys? Go back and reread my posts to see what my issues are. > [@](#): > > If it is the later, I guess I would ask which is more offensive, that Chaplain walking around with the locals shouting JESUS via the patch his jacket or cap, or the letters and numbers marked on a scope? Was he shouting anything at all? He is a religious and spiritual leader in the Military. That’s his job. I have no problem with our religious leaders meeting with theirs. And when such meetings occur, I have no issue with those leaders refusing to hide what or who they are. Chaplains do not convert people. They provide many religious, spiritual, and psychiatrical services to the military. Their purpose is not to convince you of their beliefs or convert you. Chaplains have no problem with my lack of belief, and I have no problem with them believing. Now if you can’t seperate a military having Chaplains of _all_ faiths and denominations providing the members of that military with whatever ceremonial necessities they feel they need, from a military that issues everyone equipment which declares Christ the Lord, then I don’t know any other way to explain it to you. If the Chaplain were out there trying to preach and convert like some missionary, then there would be issues. Simply wearing insignia specific to his (and not the Army’s) beliefs is not an issue. A Christian Chaplain sitting down and openly discusses the future with an Imam is a great thing. It’s a positive step in the right direction. Unilaterally declaring that all US Soldiers are Christians is bad. Putting that nonsense on our rifle scopes is ridiculous and could be hurtful to our efforts in the future. Not to mention the slap in the face it sends to all Muslim, Jewish and other nonChristian American servicemen and women. Also, it is important to note that all military Chaplains are crossed trained in the rituals and ceremonies of other religions and denominations. Just thought I throw that out there. ---

Similarly, all Chaplains are not issued crescent moon patches. So you can’t scream “The Army issued the **Chaplain Corps** crescent moon insignias! They are trying to convert everyone to Islam” I said no such thing. What I said was that there was a crucifix patch where a rank insignia would normally go. I even said where it was located on his jacket, in the same spot that the CO’s rank was located. It appeared to be an issued ACU type patch. Are you saying that the military does not issue those patches and instead the chaplain had it made for him instead? Fine. Don’t try to state that said something that I did not. Fuck it, it is obvious I’m getting my point across… ---

Yet, on that issue, they are silent [Bolding Mine] The Army does not issue those to the entire Chaplain Corps. It would only be something issued to Christian Chaplains. And if you really do mean “crucifix” and not just “cross”, then it would be something only given to Catholic Chaplains. Again, not the “Chaplain Corps”. There is a difference between accepting all religions, and declaring only one. Chaplains are free to wear the symbology of their particular beliefs. They are not required to all be Christian or all wear crucifixes. It is not “equally offensive” as you claim, because one involves the ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY being issued Jesus symbology, versus a Christian Chaplain being issued a Christian Insignia. How dense are you? And I would really like to see a picture. I’ve never seen an actual “crucifix” insignia. Only a cross. > [@](#): > > What I said was that there was a crucifix patch where a rank insignia would normally go. What you _also_ said was that the Army issues the Chaplain Corps these pataches.

Feel free to go ahead and keep on fucking belaboring the point. Like I said, I’m done with it unless you choose to misquote me again. Wow, John. You must be in a really stressful environment. You seem tense. There is a difference between “military member” and “Chaplain”. Yes, there would be an issue with a random soldier wearing a crucifix that the Army issued him. There is zero issue with a Christian Chaplain wearing a cross that the Army issued him. I am going to say “cross”, because I don’t believe for a second that the Chaplain was actually flaunting a crucifix on his uniform. If all you were trying to do is ask me if the Army issues Chaplains their insignia, you have a strange way of coming out with it. The Army issues (or at leasts “makes available for purchase”) the Chaplain insignia that is approved for wear. They do not, which is the main point here, blanketly issue EVERY CHAPLAIN a cross or crucifix. If the Chaplain is Jewish, he gets the two little tablet things with the Star of David on it. If the Chaplain is Muslim, he gets the cresent. If he is Buddhist, he gets the Darhma Wheel… This is the _complete_ opposite of the Army issuing everyone the same thing which promotes one true god. By issuing all of the different insignias, the Army embraces all religions. How you think this is on the same page as what Trijicon has done completely blows my mind. ---

> [@JXJohns](#): > > I never mentioned a crucifix or a cross as a pendant or a piece of jewelry, only that it appeared to be an issued patch on the guy’s jacket. Doesn’t matter if it is a pendant or jewelry or what. If it is actually a crucifix, and not just a cross, then it isn’t authorized for wear in the manner you describe. However, I am going to assume it’s just a cross until proven otherwise. You do know the difference, right? ---

Those are standard Chaplain insignia. Can be issued by the Army, purchased at AAFES or (as your link shows) purchased privately. However, privately purchased insignia must meet the military specifications. For example: a crucifix would not be authorized. ---
