216: Why Men Go Off To War
Manage episode 423384097 series 3537616
Why do men go off to war?
Is it for Glory? Honor? The GI Bill?
The war/violence/conflict in Ukraine illustrates how some men go to war, regardless of the big picture. While pundits and politicians opine about how America's influence, military support, and participation in Eastern Europe paints a picture of the next forever war, individuals travel to the front lines for something other than fame or money.
Imagine sweating in Basic Training in 2008. Your family is in economic shambles. Half the time your mind focuses on passing the next phase. The other half, you worry about the family home being lost to the bank which was bailed out. No cell phone in sight, any opportunity to call home depends on the performance of people you have no control over.
