MAGA here!

Combat veteran, US Army, 19 Delta, 1st Cav 1st ABCT I’m fine with it. We had a Muslim Chaplain that was embedded with us during part of one of my deployments. He was sheep-dipped in as a Major. No one had any beef with it.


Bullshit. Chaplains don't come in as Majors, they come in as O-2's plus they need a Masters' degree or other graduate degree, plus they have to go through a program at Fort Jackson and meet physical and medical standards, background check etc. No random Muslim dude just waltzes in off the street and instantly becomes a Major and a chaplain. Either you're shining us on or someone was shining you on.



I said he was attached to us for a time. Did I mention anything else? Nope. No idea what his backstory was other than some Mosque in Michigan. Just another officer, although I did like having him with us when we’d dismount and check out a village because he’d introduce himself and the locals would immediately be interested in him.

Jackson? I did basic at Jackson. So everyone rotates through there at some point. And he was definitely an 0-4.

This feels a bit disrespectful of actual military officers, but perhaps I’m cynical?

Look at the George Clooney movie “Monuments Men” as an example of this.


Also, Hollywood directors and actors were brought into the military (at an officer rank, usually 0-4 to 0-6) to make films for the war department. John Williams being one example of this.


It’s happens. It’s a real thing.



And btw, those officers you’re so worried about being jealous at someone’s rank? They didn’t go to “basic training” either. Officer’s receive a Commission in Line or Reserves, after completing ROTC or OCS, or the Academies, as Lieutenants. No one is expecting a 40-something tech SME who is needed *right now* to go to OCS for 12 weeks or ROTC/Academy for 4 years and then become a gold bar lieutenant. They’ll make them a 0-5 because that’s what they be by then if they’d actually been in the military.


This whole thread is just a pathetic reach by really dumb people. And it shows.


We aren’t at war, despite Trumps best efforts.

There is no military need to commission SMEs from the tech world other than some weird fetish. It’s 2025, there are clear contracting mechanisms to bring in technical talent without playing soldier.

Doctors are often commissioned through the same program and do not go to basic. You guys are morons.


Do these doctors have their own corporations with multibillion contracts with the government (that will further fatten up their wallets)?

I'm a vet. This is a long established program. It's not disrespectful.

I have no idea how someone becomes a Muslim Imam.

I also doubt he had multi-billion dollar contracts with the federal government.


He was from some little Mosque in Dearborn, MI, so no, I don’t think he had a bunch of contracts with the government. He volunteered. The Army used a bunch of guys like him as Chaplains in the early 00’s. They were civilians and they accepted commissions and became Chaplains. Usually they were Captains or Majors. They did some kind of rudimentary training plus theater training for deployment, which everyone has to do, but they didn’t go to officer candidate school or anything. That’s why it’s called sheep-dipping. Because it’s like dyeing the wool while the sheep is still wearing it. I don’t know why they cal it that, but it just is.
