McAuliffe Signs Law He Vetoed Last Year?

coin flipMy oh my, how the political winds change.

Last year, Governor T-Mac wouldn’t touch religious liberty issues with a 10-foot pole.  This year, State Senator Dick Black’s SB 690 — a bill which would protect military chaplains serving in the Virginia National Guard — somehow magically convinced McAuliffe that a military chaplain’s rights of conscience were worth protecting.  From the Daily Progress:

“Chaplains fill a very important role in the military,” Black said. “In the military, you can often face death day to day, and in that environment, you can’t put a value on the service chaplains provide.”

It’s an environment Black is familiar with. By age 21, he was one of the youngest aircraft carrier-qualified pilots in the Marine Corps, and he flew 269 combat helicopter missions in Vietnam, often under heavy enemy fire.

In addition, Black served in ground combat with the 1st Marine Regiment. He was awarded the Purple Heart after being wounded in combat near Hoi An, in south-central Vietnam. Two of his squad mates didn’t come back from that mission.

“Both of my radiomen were killed right behind me, just steps away from me,” said Black, who retired as a colonel. “Times like those are why we have chaplains. That they are able to speak from their conscience, without fear of censorship — they can provide soldiers with words of comfort and a boost to morale often when it is needed the most.”

As the Supreme Court has noted in the past, the last thing a member of our armed services should lack is spiritual counsel on the battlefield.

Glad McAuliffe got the memo.
