US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin promoted Navy chaplain CAPT Carey Cash to be the Navy’s new Deputy Chief of Chaplains, the second highest ranking chaplain in the US Navy propelling him to the rank of Rear Admiral Lower Half despite his known Islamophobic views and statements.
Carey has long been known as a “Christian Nationalist” who has made public statements stating his goal of remaking the US military into a Christian fundamentalist organization. In his 2003 book about his deployment in Iraq, Carey’s extremist negative views of Islam were loud and clear.
