Bush is Stripping Our Military of Honor
Frank Schaeffer | October 30, 2007

Instead of asking Americans to share in the sacrifice made by a few the President is trying to buy his way out. In doing so he is dishonoring those who have volunteered. He has also stripped away the last vestiges of what was once a citizen military.

(Editor's note:  Frank's amazing novel, Baby Jack, is now available in paperback. Frank's memoir, Crazy for God -How I Grew Up As One Of The Elect, Helped Found The Religious Right, And Lived To Take All (or Almost All) Of It Back, has also just been published.)
