The brouhaha over 'General Betray Us' has revealed,
once again, the power uniforms have over our superstitious
minds. Whether it is the stars and fruit salad on a general's
jacket, the clerical collar of a divine, or the white coat of a physician,
we respond to these costumes with something akin to religious awe.
One cannot imagine the Supreme Being naked. One can only imagine
Him wearing some sort of uniform.
