Moyers & Company Show Encore 146: What it's like to go to war – a veteran’s story.
From: Moyers & Company
Series: Moyers & Company
Length: 53:00
"’Thou shalt not kill’ is a tenet you just do not violate, and so all your young life, that's drilled into your head,” Marlantes tells Bill. “And then suddenly, you're 18 or 19 and they're saying, ‘Go get 'em and kill for your country.’ And then you come back and it's like, ‘Well, thou shalt not kill’ again. Believe me, that’s a difficult thing to deal with.”
“You take a young man and put him in the role of God, where he is asked to take a life -- that's something no 19-year-old is able to handle.”
