Ep. 107 - War Bonds: Military Families and The Generational Impact of Conflicts

Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Naughton talks about his new book, 'Born from War,' the intergenerational impact of military service, the legacy of Vietnam, and the psychological effects of war on soldiers, and their families. Naughton shares personal anecdotes about his father, his own military experiences, and the evolution of military culture, including the increasing role of women in the armed forces. The discussion also touches on societal perceptions of war, the importance of understanding history, and the need for connection between military families and the broader community.
