Interview with a soldier on NPR

Courtesy of This American Life I think. On WGBH, 90.9 FM Boston. Listen to it now if you can. Catch a recording online if you can't. But seriously, listen to it.

tl;dr According to the interviewee, military training is a form of temporary, induced sociopathy. And it's less temporary for some people than for others.

Seriously: listen to it. Then we'll talk about the possible repercussions.

You have a link or expect us to search to find it because I tried for about 5 min then figured I could be doing other things. ;)

Did it have anything to do with the suicide rate?
