The United States Army Chaplain's Corps is an essential element to any formation. As Don't Ask, Don't Tell disappears from the government law books, it was my impression that the Chaplain Corps would be one of the hardest hit areas in terms of effect on overall mission. As I researched this topic, I discovered that the reality is that the Chaplain Corps will continue to provide mentorship, counseling, spiritual guidance, and will adjust rather easily to what I thought would be a major obstacle. This is just another shining example of the Soldiers of the United States military adapting and overcoming to continue to be the most elite fighting force the world has ever known.
