for this dickhead to speak.

What do you bet he's never, ever been in harm's way, seen or heard a shot fired in anger?

Hasn't the Lord taken him yet? I suppose only the good die young.

When will we manage to go back to separation of church and state?

equally represented at breakfast. And they should be...

asking for blessings from the great spaghetti head.
Ramen.

Spaghetti for breakfast doesn't sound all that good to me.

Military+Evangelical Properity Christianity+Corporate America = the new Fascism.

Like active duty members who have PTSD aren't worried enough about the stigma of seeking care. I am constantly stuck with so little to say other than, WTF is wrong with these people?!?. I sincerely wish I believed in hell because it would make me feel better knowing he was headed there.

Biblethumping military commanders . . . the sonsofbitches are everywhere.

Every unit from battalion on up has a chaplain. Sometimes they get pretty extreme: when I was in Berlin they sent my battalion a fire-breathing fundamentalist chaplain who said at his first service that all Catholics were going to Hell.

The next morning he was handed a set of orders to Bad Kreuznach...apparently my very-Catholic battalion commander didn't want to be told he was going to Hell.

on some of the basics.

Had one assigned to our department and he would go around telling everyone what the sailors said to him. A sailor would be having a problem, then go to him to discuss it, the next thing you know, he was telling the Department Head or the Master Chief.

Talked to him a few times about it and he claimed otherwise. People just stopped going to him. What a waste of space. Never did understand his purpose if he wasn't going to give confidential counseling.

and people that don't value the truth.

It is truly sad.

So what about Track Palin? What about Chris Kyle? So, every man, or woman who suffers from PTSD is a non-true believer? So, what about people who claim to be non-believers, but also do not suffer from PTSD?

His time in the military probably just exacerbated existing issues.

and they're friggin' clueless about it.

...to me, that is not art, it's porn.

New Testament nor gotten the message love god with all your soul and your neighbor as yourself. Nor Faith and Hope shall all pass away but Charity will remain forever!
He is really filled with hate!

Copeland attended Oral Roberts Universty in the early days. He was a pilot for Oral.

I have a family member, a Vietnam Vet, who has been really suffering PTSD and wants to kill himself, all these years on. He supported trump, I can't hold that against him. This may be the last straw in his support for trump.

I'm not a vet. I don't have PTSD. And yet I understand that PTSD is an uncontrollable consequence of really bad stuff happening.

These are the kinds of things that make state that it's a wonder the murder rate isn't a lot higher than it is.

General, every year at this time like clockwork MRFF is usually inundated with a plethora of complaints about matters associated with the so-called “National Prayer Breakfasts” (NPBs) and “National Prayer Luncheons” (NPLs) which so many military installations hold on an annual basis. It has been MRFF’s experience that such events, though billed as “non-mandatory” and pure-as-the-driven-snow “voluntary” are very often QUITE the opposite, in all actuality, for so very many unfortunate military subordinates who are “VOLUNTOLD” to attend by their command chains. (I will leave alone, for the moment, the array of serious issues of illicit, First Amendment breaches associated with all of these NPBs and NPLs as they are SO often misused and abused for sinister, twisted purposes of fundamentalist Christian proselytization.)

BTW, the majority of the complaints Mikey Weinstein's outfit receives are from mainstream branches of Christianity.

to be untrue, in this case that PTSD doesn't afflict the religious, isn't the worst thing that could happen.

Voluntold shouldn't happen, of course, but light is being shined on beliefs that can't stand up to it.

that Christians have to follow the laws in the Torah so don't quote from it.

Disguised as Christianity.

Grifters and con artists are attracted to each other. And copeland has been scamming for Jebus for a very long time. He's cut from the same cloth as the Oral Robbers...I mean Roberts.... and his putrid son. I hate each and every one of those bastards with every fiber of my being.

as a taxpayer.

Maybe its time to remind these people, that as a taxpayer, I don't want my military being spoken to by a "guy" that has no fucking training or clue on PSTD and is basically a con artist, looking for new donations..................fuck this shit.

Always has been, always will be. He has no business appearing before our military forces.

There is scientific evidence of brain changes in people with PTSD. The book The Body Keeps the Score is excellent in this regard.

Especially since the verse is referring specifically to the Kingdom of Israel's army--not any other country. All of these asshole prosperity hucksters are stupid enough to think the old testament applies to the United States. A bunch of European countries did this whole "god is with us" BS during the first world war as well.
