b. Internal Religious PSYOP:
The Army Chaplain Corps
Our Father in Heaven, before we go into battle, every
soldier among us will approach you each in his own way. Our
enemies too, according to their own understanding, will ask
for protection and for victory. And so we bow before your
infinite wisdom. We offer our prayers as best we can. I pray
you watch over the young Jack Geoghegan that I lead into
battle. You use me as your instrument in this awful hell of
war to watch over them. Especially if they're men like this
one beside me, deserving of a future in your blessing and
goodwill. Amen.
Oh, yes, and one more thing, dear Lord, about our
enemies, ignore their heathen prayers and help us blow
those little bastards straight to Hell. Amen.
- Lt. Colonel Hal Moore
[in the post chapel before leaving for Vietnam]
We Were Soldiers (2002)
Although pro forma the mission of the Army Chaplain
Corps is “to advise commanders concerning soldiers’ free
exercise of religion” 100, in practice it has a fourfold de facto mission: (1) to convince soldiers that their religious
faith should not stand in the way of killing other humans
on order; (2) to reassure soldiers that God is on their side
in a war, even if it is against other humans professing
faith in the same God; (3) through these first two
missions to minimize or dispel soldiers’ fear of death in
combat; and (4) to ensure that soldiers’ families do not
compromise the first three missions.
To reinforce this agenda, chaplains are commissioned
as uniformed officers and are dependent for both
retention and promotion on their secular commanders’
evaluations. Those who find they cannot reconcile
combat missions and orders with their faiths either resign
or are removed.

These facts are not mentioned to gratuitously
embarrass the Chaplain Corps, but rather to simply
acknowledge its critical PW function. Doctrinally Judæo/
Christian religions prohibit the killing of humans who
have done nothing to deserve it, and for the PW U.S.
Army to function, it must order, and rely upon its soldiers
to carry out such orders: the individual- and mass-killing
of government-declared “enemies”.
After World War II much sanctimonious publicity was
given the so-called “Nürnberg Principle”: that soldiers
could not use “obedience to orders” to justify destructive
actions which others might later label “war crimes”. This
“Principle” was applied exclusively to the vanquished
Axis, however, and others have since never regarded it as
a valid objection by individual soldiers. 101
The result of this official/institutional hypocrisy is a
cancerous erosion of the U.S. Army’s honor and integrity,
which, because of this nation’s original and traditional
stand on behalf of individual ethics, are absolutely
indispensable to it.
Once the American armed forces evolve from PW to
MW, the arbitrary killing of “enemies” will cease, and the
need for chaplains’ PSYOP of service personnel will
evaporate. The implied-coercive commissioned Chaplain
Corps will be discontinued, to be replaced by civilian
clergy with no PW-enforcement agenda.
