Veteran's Day and the U.S. Military

[helwen]

First, I honor the service of my father in WWII, my brother Kent although he didn't serve overseas, my friend gwynt_y_storm who served many years in several places, and all the other worthy folks who have served in defense of freedom, not only from the U.S. but other countries like Canada, the U.K., and France as well.

Second. My father, who was a minister before he went into social work, would be greatly distressed to read about what is apparently happening in the U.S. military today: http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/11/08/5093/ He went to war to protect our nation, our freedom, our constitution.

Indeed, I have friends and acquaintances in the military who are definitely _not_ part of this christian supremacy business. I wonder if they'll be able to advance much, if this continues though. I think most of them entered before this stuff really started to take hold. I wish them all the best, in what seems to be becoming a very scary working/living environment.
