The Hazards of Military Worship

Powerful article worth sharing from Major Danny Sjursen, a US Army strategist and former history instructor at West Point. He served tours with reconnaissance units in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has written a memoir and critical analysis of the Iraq War, Ghostriders of Baghdad: Soldiers, Civilians, and the Myth of the Surge. The article illustrates the danger of military worship, or, what is the same, the creation of an idol: militarism. Read and Share.
