Quote of the Day (Elizabeth Samet, on the Use of Force)

“The way we think and talk about force will influence not only the use of American military might abroad, but also our response to the violence that has increasingly been used as a tool of insurrection at home.”— American essayist and historian Elizabeth Samet, Looking for the Good War: American Amnesia and the Violent Pursuit of Happiness (2021)

This Veterans Day, even as we honor their service, let us remember to bind up their wounds—emotional as well as physical.
