Lieutenant Colonel Douglas A. Pryer;
The review you wrote on Lt. Col. Bill Russel Edmonds' book "god is not here" was an excellent review. I enjoyed reading a review that clearly comes from a point of view that is experienced, balanced and perceptive. Personally Edmonds' book is so heavy in reality (that I was unaware of) I could only read parts of the book at a time. The most valuable knowledge I received from reading "god is not here" is that it gave me a deeper understanding of my own brother, whom served in the Army for 29 years, 8 months. He did not want to complete the four remaining months for his 30 year pin. I could never understand why; but now I do. Thank you for an excellent review which further the truth. It is important for family members to be educated on what happens to Veterans, whom suffer from moral injury.
