Robert F. Keeler's new book "Sacred Soldier: The Dangers of Worshipping Warriors" is a tough indictment of USA's inane militarism, emphasizing recruitment horrors, rampant sexual abuse and corrupt leadership in today's armed forces. Marc Eliot Stein interviews Keeler about his Catholicism, his pacifism, his award-winning career as a journalist for Newsday, and his own life as a military veteran who refuses to pretend USA's war system deserves respect.
