What was said
""The Iraq war started and I started getting emails from Christians telling me that the soldiers are the angels of peace of God. And and I thought that's like the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life.""
Daniel Everett says that after the Iraq war began he received emails from Christians describing US soldiers as “the angels of peace of God”, which he says repelled him and pushed him to stop publicly identifying as a believer. He says he told his wife in 2002 and describes subsequent family turmoil and divorce.
