From Feb 1966 - The Catholic Transcript - St. Paul, Minn.—(RNS)—A Baptist chaplain reported here that “almost 100 per cent” of American servicemen fighting in Vietnam attend religious services. Chaplain (Major) Warren Withrow made the comment on a visit to Bethel College here. HE CHALLENGED reports that U.S. troops were either lacking in spiritual interest or opposed to the war. “THIS WAR is different from World War II,” he said when asked why church attendance was high. “Back then, the men had a battlefront, and from time to time they could leave the front to rest. “But in guerrilla warfare, every place is a battlefront. A man may encounter the Viet Cong anywhere. And when he is faced with death, he naturally thinks more about God.” In addition, Chaplain Withrow cited the isolation of many outposts and the “high caliber of our men there” as contributing factors to good attendance. THE CHAPLAIN also praised the morale of U.S. troops, commenting that he “couldn’t recall a man griping in all my 10 months there except about routine things like food.” “These men are professional soldiers,” he said, “and they act like it.”
