Kiowa's reaction is negative. Although he finds the atmosphere of the church calming, he's extremely leary of setting up a camp of soldiers in the midst of a symbol of peace. Dobbins, on the other hand, isn't fond of churches because he thinks they're boring. None-the-less, he is a very spiritual man, who once wanted to becomes a monk.
