Abstract
An extensive amount of research has been conducted on the manner in which war affects combat military personnel. Numerous investigators have concluded that the experience of war exerts a profound impact on combatants, leaving many with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many non-combatants (e.g., corpsmen, medics, chaplains, etc.) also may witness the horrors of war, yet little research has examined their effect on this cohort. Chaplains, serving in a centuries-old military role, may serve on the front lines. Providing comfort to the sick, wounded, and dying, they may become intimately enmeshed with the combatants‟ war experience.
