The Decisive and Untapped Presence of Ecclesiastic Personnel in the Military, Specifically Imams

Abstract

In the topic discussed I am presenting the ecclesiastic personnel in the armies responsible for the spiritual care of Christian, Jewish and Islamic soldiers beyond the perspective of their general duty -ensuring the free practice of religion. Through examples I try to prove that the presence of church members in the army has an impact on soldiers, on the army's life itself and on the environment in which the military orginazitaion is active. These effects could lead to political, public, cultural implications, which could make their more thorough and systematic security investigation necessary. This could not only mean danger, but also a number of possibilities so far undetected.
