10. Holy Crap! I completely missed that part of the story!

I haven't seen many Chaplains since this happened., but I'll darn sure be looking now.

Traditionally Chaplains are addressed as "Chaplain", no matter their rank, but in correspondence it's Chaplain (Major) Smith, or Chaplain (Lieutenant Colonel) Jones, for example.

I think it's probably not a good time to be a Muslim or Buddhist chaplain in the military, or for that matter to be Muslim or Buddhist serving in the military in any capacity.
