Quite Frightening
April 18, 2018
A note from some Europeans:
I read your very interesting article on praying for our troops, Thank you. We are cycling through the US and being European are flabbergasted by the number of Pray For Our Troops posters and the apparent link between Religion and the military. We’ve cycled in the Islamic countries and Russia and no where feels as militaristic, righteous and religious as the US. It is quite frightening.
Truer words were never spoken.
