Mikey it takes remarkable courage for you and your organization, Military Religious Freedom Foundation, to provide a safe space for U.S. military personnel to share their fear, or more accurately, their terror at the ravings of their Christian fanatical commanders, who see the U.S. military as the tool to bring about an Armageddon as their religious fanaticism defines it.
You and your organization are the first line of defence against the extraordinary danger this religious fanaticism within the U.S. military presents not just to America, its constitution and its democracy but far beyond your borders. Thank you is inadequate.
