“If the courage of young men and women in battle truly does depend on the nature and quality of our civic society, we should be very worried… The clarity of purpose so central to bonding men in combat cannot emerge purely from the military itself. And in our current climate, after a decade and a half of multiple wars on multiple continents, the hope for such clarity is rotting away.”
