I know of whence you speak when you say military chaplains have to be "alll things'.. However, were I still in the military i would seek the fellowship of believers off base or arrange my own, perhaps witha small group of like-minded Christians.
Seeing a chaplain conduct services for 3-4 different sects or faiths, brings immediately to mind a couple verses.
" A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...". (James 1:8a)
" How long halt you between two opinions ? If the Lord isGod follow Him, but if Baal, follow him...." (1Kings 18:21a)

"IG...you are not certain who is carrying out mayhem in foreign occupied moslem countries because you are not there....you rely on mass media reports...I suggest looking deeper. Fact is 90% of Afghanis never heard of 911, or what it was...and don't care,,,just want the current invaders gone".

Well TM;
You are partially right, ..I am not there but I speak occasionally with people who have been there. As far as the mass media, likely I search it as well as you do. Then there is mass media..and mass media, they don't all agree, nor does minor media..
What is your MORE RELIABLE source than mine ?
According to your own statement, in order to be better informed than I, you must be visiting there regularly... Isn't that risky..and how is it you are so familiar with Afghan locals ?
