For most Americans, it is fairly easy to be patriotic and full of pride for our military as they fight abroad. But when war hits home, as it did for Trudy Chun, the wife of an Army major stationed in Iraq, it can be a different story—one that causes military spouses to reconsider the high price of war. She shares her experience of working out in her mind what “duty to God and country” means. “To be able to say this kind of sacrifice is worth it—the potential sacrifice of life and family—I must look deeper . . . than geopolitical landscapes and national interest. Deeper even than political alliance or patriotic duty. I must look past ‘God-and-Country’ rhetoric and get down to God—and God alone.”
