Death is not the end and soldiers need to be spiritually better prepared for war, according to the head of the British Army.
General Sir Richard Dannatt, Chief of the General Staff, said that Christian leaders and chaplains in the Army needed to equip soldiers for the spiritual issues at stake.
“In my business, asking people to risk their lives is part of the job, but doing so without giving them the chance to understand that there is a life after death is something of a betrayal,” he said.
Our soldiers need better preparation for life after death, says army chief -Times Online.
