I was in the DC Area in the 80s and 90s.  I found two books especially useful:

[1] Holton, Gerald, “The Anti-Science Phenomenon,” Chapter 6, Science and Anti-Science, Harvard University Press, 1994.

[2] Bawer, Bruce , "Stealing Jesus: How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity", Crown publishers, 1997

In appropriate settings, I have prayed for service people.  However, I don't contribute to Wounded Warriors because I think the country has an obligation to support our wounded warriors.

We should accept full responsibility for committing our troops to military operations.
