Once an Iraqi interrogator, now a Catholic pacifist
From conservative evangelical to ardent Roman Catholic, from West Point appointee to crusading pacifist and playwright, Joshua Casteel has crossed boundaries enough for a lifetime in his 29 years…This “child of homeschooling and Bible quizzing,” as he wrote in a biographical essay, this high-school valedictorian and president of the high-school Young Republicans, “was not supposed to be the kid who gets upset by violence, ambition, and proto-imperialism. I was the patriotic, evangelical Christian … I was supposed to ascend the ranks of the military and then the ranks of Washington.”
But the deeper he dug into the Bible verses, the more troublesome they became.
