RE: Honor the Troops? Maybe We Should Hold Them Accountable Instead.

in #peace8 years ago

I think that's a sign of how we've changed as a species. It used to be about duty and honor. I think enough people see through that BS and the tribalistic problems an honor culture brings to everyone involved. If it's now just about the perks of the job, maybe then we can frame the discussion more rationally in terms of "Yeah, you get a lot of out of it, but what do you give? What does your life represent if you're handed a gun and told to go kill people you don't know?"

Thanks for brining another perspective from the other side of the world.
