Pretty Soon You Run out of Bad Apples
February 5, 2018

Prostitutes, vacations, cash, bribery, fraud, leaks, feasts, and sex parties: Those are the terms that are needed to describe the biggest scandal U.S. Navy history. It is the good apples that are the minority in the military. Yet, conservative Christians continue to hold the military in such high esteem.
