RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, Letter to Katherine A. Kersten regarding her essay of 17 September 1999 in the Wall Street Journal, To Hell With Sin. Your essay is very nice, right on the reality.

1- As a Brigadier mentioned to me, clergy and military are related: if he had not gone military, he would have gone clergy. At WP, you would find that practically all Cadets and virtually all officers are more or less religious deliberately. As the old saying goes, there are no atheists in foxholes. Also, prayer and religious…
