Talk:Chaplain Corps (United States Army)

Chaim Potok was a chaplain during the Korean War. Is that appropriate for notable chaplains, or do you think this is only for chaplains who were notable for their service, not notable in general?QuilaBird (talk) 21:19, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

It seems to me that the "See also" section is in danger of becoming a crowded mixture of "Notable Chaplains" and "Related topics". I propose to create a new section entitled Other Notable Chaplains (just after the Four Chaplains) and leave the "See also" for related topics. Any objections? I'll give this a few days and will then proceed, unless I hear objections ....

I wanted to alert interested wikipedians of the new article I created, United States military chaplain symbols. It is missing graphics for two old versions of the Army Chaplain Corps Seal (the one with Jewish and Christian symbols, and the one with those two symbols plus the Muslim symbol), plus older version/s of the Chaplain Corps regimental insignia. The Director of the Army Chaplain Museum is going to scan these images and email them to me because she does not have them in digital form. If anyone has them in a digital format I would appreciate your uploading them and letting me know, to save the Museum Director the trouble. Thanks - NearTheZoo (talk) 13:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

No disrespect intended to either of the Roman Catholic chaplains mentioned, as they were selected by President Polk, and did serve in the war in Mexico. However, they were not official U.S. Army Chaplains, as stipulated by a new law at that time. There were 13 of those appointed for brigades, and administratively approved by brigade officers. Twelve of those were stationed at Forts around the United States. Only one went to the front, John D. McCarty. He served with General Scott's army, and was famous amongst the troops for his compassion and bravery during battles. There is a Wikipedia article on John D. McCarty, and a number of references to these facts. I have added Dr. McCarty to the list in this article, without degrading the others. Pglawless (talk) 21:31, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Chaplain Corps (United States Army). That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 627 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Declaring a conflict of interest first: I am the subject of Justin Roberts (filmmaker), so I am requesting this rather than editing the article myself.

Proposed addition to "Other notable chaplains", alphabetically between the Anthony Rey and John Rosbrugh entries:

* [[Justin Roberts (filmmaker)|Justin Roberts]] – Chaplain with the 2nd Battalion, [[327th Infantry Regiment]], [[101st Airborne Division]], during the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)|war in Afghanistan]]. Filmed his unit's 2010–11 deployment to Kunar Province and directed the resulting documentary ''[[No Greater Love (2015 film)|No Greater Love]]'' (2015).<ref>{{cite news |last=Lilley |first=Kevin |date=November 1, 2017 |title='No Greater Love' offers chaplain's view of close-up combat, and its aftermath |url=https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/salute-veterans/2017/11/01/no-greater-love-offers-chaplains-view-of-close-up-combat-and-its-aftermath/ |work=[[Military Times]] |access-date=August 2, 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260329201133/https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/salute-veterans/2017/11/01/no-greater-love-offers-chaplains-view-of-close-up-combat-and-its-aftermath/ |archive-date=March 29, 2026 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The relevance to this article specifically is the non-combatant point the article already makes in its "Operation" section: chaplains are unarmed, and this documentary exists because a chaplain carried a camera on missions instead of a weapon. Military Times and Variety both cover that.

Disclosure of my interest: the biography is tagged as an orphan, so I benefit if this link is added. If you do not think the entry meets the bar this list sets, please decline it. Lightbringer07 (talk) 12:19, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
