As an aside: 
Despite what some may think, the Military has many in the ranks like James Gillcrist. Our son being one of them, they may keep low profiles, but they are there, as my wife says: “We need people with a conscience in the Military.”  They serve as a counter force to the “door kickers” and “wild eyed trigger pullers.”  Too often people get lumped into a basket and ignored or marginalized.  If people with a sound Catholic conscience or similar, left the Military, the US would be in a world of hurt. GW Bush proved with rampant bullying, we can antagonize the whole world and leave ourselves open to attacks against people living here. Asymmetrical warfare, was originate because of overbearing military might.  I applaud James Gillcrist, for his work, but we need to remember those who stay behind trying to accomplish the same.
