We sometimes use the term Staking Your Life a bit lightheartedly, subtly conveying a sense of greater conviction over this or that. Other times it’s deeper. Just what do you believe about the reason for your life? What drives you? Is your opinion of meaning based on your experience in this world—relationships, careers, wealth, ideals, feelings, or even superstitions? Or do you put your faith elsewhere?

Scholars and popular authors regularly claim that Christianity, at least orthodox Christianity, has fostered oppression and intolerance. A common narrative is that liberty and equality have been advanced primarily when America's leaders embrace progressive manifestations of religion or reject faith altogether.

This story is a chronicle of the year 1968 as seen through the eyes of the author while serving at Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand, supporting the air war in Vietnam. It was an odd juxtaposition, repairing the fire-control systems on F-105s that were making twice-daily bombing runs over North Vietnam, while living in relative comfort and safety.
