I couldn’t imagine the military even considering accommodating those conditions, but don’t worry: This country will never have a draft again. Nobody would show up.

No, not in this wicked generation.

But that is precisely the point to which we as a Christian missionary family are determined to testify.

All of those points are very important to the practice our Biblicist Christian faith. They are sincere, and can be seen in our family life for the past 37 years my wife and I have been married. We did not "create" religious practice to avoid anything.

When I was in the Air Force, I had to attend an NCO Leadership School. The school commandant arranged for the graduation ceremony to be in a setting where alcohol was being consumed even as the ceremony took place.

I told the commandant that I do not attend any function where people are consuming alcohol. He threatened not to graduate me. I told him, "That will be fine, Sir." I did not attend.

My squadron commander, however, went to the base commander, and I was awarded my diploma anyway. My CO handed it to me in his office, and told me that the base commander had been very concerned about the level of alcohol consumption on the base, and asked my CO to thank me for taking the stand I took.
