On behalf of the Born-Again Bipolar Retired Serviceman’s Association I most strenuously object to your characterization of our membership as unsuitable for service in post-conflict development situations.
As one who has suppressed the godless hordes in a dozen lands and remained to coordinate the protection of convoys of nutritious bibles for the spiritually starved, I can testify to the critical role our membership plays in these hostile environments and anticipate your timely retraction.
God Bless
Rev. Jock Rock (US Army ret.)

So true, but isn’t it sad when the Missionaries become Mercenaries? It’s the loss of innocence that is so heart wrenching. Of course sometimes they become Madmen first, as a rite of passage.
