It seems some gay Sergeant wanted to attend a Southern Baptist couples retreat with her significant other.\u00a0 Maj Squires being a man of faith, hence the whole Chaplain thing, could not accommodate the gay couple.\u00a0 He reached out to several other Chaplains of other faiths to get the couple into one of their upcoming events since they have no religious objection to same sex marriages.\u00a0 Nah, that was not good enough because the young Sergeant wanted to go on a retreat that particular weekend.\u00a0 Maj Squires even attempted to remove himself from the very event that he organized and get another Chaplain to take his place.\u00a0 By then the available seats had been filled by…dare I say it, “Normal Couples”.<\/p>\n

The investigation into Maj. J. Scott Squires has opened a larger debate over how the Army\u2019s Equal Opportunity policy squares with restrictions placed on chaplains by their endorsing religious organization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Triggered by these so called “Normal Couples” the Recreationally Outraged have launched some kind of pissy fit against the Chaplain and his command.\u00a0 I have no idea what more the Chaplain could have been expected to do in this case.\u00a0 It seems to be a popular thing to get all into how a Chaplain should conduct himself, I just never see these people doing it when the Chaplain has to tell a Deployed father that one of his children has died.\u00a0 Never once see anyone, gay or otherwise, complain about the unit Chaplain when they had to tell a service member who was deployed half way around the world their spouse has been diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/p>\n

But, may the Gods forbid a Chaplain from organizing a couples retreat.\u00a0 I can personally attest to the strain deployments have on married couples.\u00a0 Commands need to start pushing back against this kind of nonsense.\u00a0 The issue is still festering.<\/p>\n
