I'm in @ForeignPolicy again, this time talking about how the frequent mobilization of a 'warrior' ideology by the U.S. military is in fact very bad and fundamentally incompatible with a free society.
Also the header picture they used is hilarious and I love it.https://twitter.com/BeijingPalmer/status/1384256143623548934 …

A free society needs soldiers who serve - and then become civilians. Cops who serve, and when their shift is done, become citizens. The whole issue with 'warriors' is precisely that it is an inherent identity which is not left behind, but persists.

It taps into that same 'always ready' machismo that you see in the fitness and martial arts scenes - gotta be 'always ready' to defend...someone? To deal some violence? That's poisonous and unnecessary. Our society - even with our troublesome crime rates - isn't that violent.
