Former United States Air Force member, Ian Greer, wrote me a powerful letter last night. This is one of the best accounts of a typical military experience as an out of the closet atheist in the US military. Long patches of ‘no big deal’ bookended by intense WTF-moments.

Fresh off of being vandalized, the officials at Travis Air Force Base secure the lighting for the atheist sign. Sounds good right?
