A Quaker Guide to Leaving the Military

A Quaker Guide to Leaving the Military

An active-duty soldier experiences a sudden moral awakening that leaves him trapped inside the military machine he can no longer answer to. We go inside the barracks to discover the Quakers who are helping him get out. Through the GI Rights Hotline, counseling services, and peace advocacy, Quaker House has been quietly providing a vital life line to people in uniform for almost 60 years. Discover how this place of peace has operated so effectively in a city of war, and how we can all become more effective peacemakers.

Quaker House is a manifestation of the Friends’ Peace Testimony. Based in Fayetteville, NC, home of Fort Liberty, Quaker House provides counseling and support to service members who are questioning their role in the military; educates them, their families, and the public about military issues; and advocates for a more peaceful world.
