The Law That Forgot Military Families
Congress passed a unanimous hate crimes protection for soldiers and veterans in 2009. The government built everything it promised — for everyone else.

That pipeline, from victimization to awareness to reporting to prosecution, is what transforms a law from a promise into a protection.
#Military families never got the pipeline. That's why #GIJustice is MIA...

Poetry, parable and song were the ancient bridges that shepherded communities from oral traditions to scribal “civilization.”

A #martial hermeneutic doesn't ask to be included in the #civilian seminar. It asks who gave it authority to speak in the first place, and what that authority is actually made of.

Civilians built a whole diagnosis from silence, because a clean story feels better than an "unclean" one.
Most #soldiers haven't done anything that requires that story. And the #veterans carrying something real don't need civilians writing the ending for them before they've said a word.

Any public appeal to ‘accessibility to anyone’ is a deference to the majority, which also carries the inherent risk of silencing any (and maybe even all) minorities.

A law that exists only on paper is a performance of care with no follow-through. The government performed “we take care of our #veterans” in 1974 with #VEVRAA passage, the same way plenty of churches perform “we support our troops” with a flag in the sanctuary and nothing behind it.

You might ask ‘Why should military families get their own #CivilRights conversation, separate from everyone else's?’
They already had one, first, and it's the one everything else grew out of. Somewhere between 1948 and now, the tree kept the fruit and forgot the root.

Karl Barth's Dogmatics is extremely good at telling you everything theology can't do. It has almost nothing to say about how you build a theology from the ground up, from the position of a body that never had the option of staying protected from the thing it's trying to describe.
