The Posse Comitatus Act and the United States Army: A Historical Perspective

History

Every parent wonders, sometimes with worry, how their kids will "turn out." Fritz and Christine & Their Very Nervous Parents inspires children to reach and dream as much as it invites parents not to fret. As children, Fritz and Christine have been accompanied by their earnest parents' simple prayer that they grow to be kind and employ their gifts in service to all neighbors. This prayer, set to the lullaby-lilt of Thomas Tallis' canon (1555), stays with them into adulthood, and, to their parents' surprise, is passed down with healing affect. Fritz & Christine and Their Very Nervous Parents is a parable about vocation, serving others, and, living life more prayerfully.

Anytime the use of US Armed Forces in support of civil authorities is considered, government and military leaders, pundits, and citizens reflexively turn to the Posse Comitatus Act for guidance. Since 9/11, the US Armed Forces face an increased likelihood that they will be called on to participate in actions typically viewed as civil matters. Many have also called for an increased role for the US Armed Forces in responding to natural disasters. Though many constitutional provisions, laws, and legal rulings govern this question, in the minds of many, the Posse Comitatus Act has prominence. Most individuals think they know what the Posse Comitatus Act allows and disallows; most of them are wrong.

World War Two shaped Matt Matthews even though he was born twenty years after it ended. As a kid, he was afraid he’d have to do what his father did in the 106th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge. As a young adult, he was afraid he wouldn’t. If his father’s silence about war and being a POW said it all, what did it say? That silence and Matthews’ efforts to fill in the blanks molded his evolving definition of manhood and efforts to influence and love his own three sons.
In the summer of 2011, Matthews, his wife, and three boys traced his late father’s WWII footsteps the thousand or so miles from where he was captured in Germany during the Battle of the Bulge to the Clyde River in Glasgow, near where he and 10,000 other seasick American GIs arrived on the RMS Aquitania. Sixty-seven years after his father’s journey, Matthews unwraps spiritual insights about loss, fatherhood, and overlooked graces of daily life.
