H.R. McMaster, the Warrior Ethos, and the Wars Against the West

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Lt. Gen. (Ret.) H.R. McMaster is a soldier and a scholar and, these days, a commentator – one might even say a pundit.</p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">His recent essay for National Review is titled: <a href='https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2021/11/15/preserving-the-warrior-ethos/'>“Preserving the Warrior Ethos”</a> – a contrarian theme in an age where the dominant culture valorizes victims and too many political leaders fail to grasp the nexus between military strength and diplomatic effectiveness.</p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">He discusses warriors, wars and related topics with Foreign Podicy host Cliff May, and Bradley Bowman, senior director of FDD’s Center on Military and Political Power.</p>
