SANGIN, Afghanistan—They say there are no atheists in foxholes. There's one on the front lines here, though, and the chaplain isn't thrilled about it.
Navy Chaplain Terry Moran is steeped in the Bible and believes all of it. His assistant, Religious Programs Specialist 2nd Class Philip Chute, is steeped in the Bible and having none of it.
Together they roam this town in Taliban country, comforting the grunts while crossing swords with each other over everything from the power of angels to the wisdom of standing in clear view of enemy snipers. Lt. Moran, 48 years old, preaches about divine protection while 25-year-old RP2 Chute covers the chaplain's back and wishes he were more attentive to the dangers of the here and now.
It's a match made in, well, the Pentagon.
"He trusts God to keep him safe," says RP2 Chute. "And I'm here just in case that doesn't work out."
The 460 Army, Navy and Air Force chaplains deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan are prohibited from carrying weapons, counting on their assistants and the troops around them for protection. It can be a perilous calling. On Monday, Chaplain Dale Goetz, 43, of White, S.D., and four other soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb near Kandahar. Capt. Goetz is the first Army chaplain killed in action since the Vietnam War.
Army chaplains represent 130 religions and denominations, including Catholicism, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism. The military says it's common for assistants to be of different faiths from the chaplains they support, or of no faith at all.
"They don't have to be religious," says retired Navy Capt. Randy Cash, who served 30 years in the Chaplain Corps and now is its historian. "They have to be able to shoot straight."

Man buys old keystone film at a antiques fair, man puts film away for few months, man picks up film and spots Charlie Chaplin. Man happy.
Odd but true story of a film collector who discovered he owned a rare 1914 film, which starred Chaplin in an early role before he was famous. The 10 minute film is titled A Thief Catcher and star the famed comedy actor as a policeman in a over sized uniform.
"He showed it to a fellow film collector, Richard Roberts, who said: "I looked at it two seconds and said 'Yep, it's Chaplin.' Even though he's dressed as a cop, the rest of the character is still there – the moustache, the walk, the mannerism. This is a character he'd been doing for quite a while."-Telegraph

Oh my...I never expected to see such a joyful scene nowadays, what with all the wars, financial troubles and political belligerence going on in the world today! It's such a relief to see all these wonderful smiling, happy faces here...and all kinds of them too. Fabulous photographs, an awesome slide show and the feel-good music video of Robert Downey Jr. singing “Smile” from his 1992 movie “Chaplin.” Sure does make one feel good!

Maybe right now things look very dark and cloudy. But what's the use of crying? Smile, and perhaps tomorrow you'll get to see the sun come shining through. This composition includes wonderful photographs, two music videos (Robert Downey Jr. singing "Smile" from "Chaplin" and Bright Eyes singing "First Day of My Life"), as well as a very touching photo-gallery.Maybe right now things look very dark and cloudy.
