» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - Chaplains

In response to When did the rules change? posted by TheMadCossack:


Another twist on this is with chaplains. There remains a debate within the US military as to whether chaplains should be allowed to carry weapons for self-defense. Present Army policy is "no," based on international treaties (Geneva Convention being the predominant one) that decrees chaplains as "noncombatants."
