The proposed reform of the #ChaplainCorps didn't go well. There's been a trend in the past few decades where #Christians are schisming between the alt-right political types and the more traditional types. ( #SouthPark is doing an arc right now about it.) The #USSecretaryOfDefense tried to use a purge of "new age" elements from #Christianity as cover for a political crackdown. Seeing a military news blog cover the utter refusal of the #USMilitary to become alt-right is an interesting read.

Task & Purpose

Calling the Army’s Spiritual Fitness Guide “new age” and unserious, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered its immediate removal, raising concerns about how future chaplain reforms could affect religious pluralism within the U.S. military.
