Small side note: it seems the difficulty he describes at the start of the lecture that his family is currently undergoing is the fact that his son died a few months before this in the Iraqi War. Adds a greater depth to his calling out Bush's immoral wars

"The difficulty that Americans have is in seeing themselves as they really are". If we did, we would be completely different.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” ― Reinhold Niebuhr

It takes courage to take on things one "can't" change -- which is typically the opinion of those lacking the courage to make the effort regardless others' speculations about the outcome.

more is never coterminal with better, but its the doctrine, a core article of faith, of capitalism

A leader like Bacevich in high office would help our nation heal the partisan wounds of the Trump era.

That ramble during the Q&A was comically long, she must have intimidated the moderator. It’s a testament to the man’s “niceness” that he politely withstood that disordered rant.
