OK, I was under the mistaken impression, from movies perhaps, that they are trained in a variety of religious practices, since each unit can't have a whole different set of chaplains for Baptist, Episcalpalian, catholic, reform and conservative jewish, shi-ite and sunni muslim, saivaite and vaishnavite hindu, theravada, hirayana, and tibetian buddhist, jain, confuscian, various african tribal religions. But apparently they do. Wow, that must be a kewl bus to be on. Imagine the poker games.
