Fantastic Dan Baum article in last week’s New Yorker, The Price of Valor. Did you know that in World War II only 15 percent of soldiers could bring themselves to fire back on the enemy? After the war, the Army instituted a “Revised Program of Instruction” to get this percentage up. By Vietnam, 90 percent of U.S. soldiers were shooting back. Amazing stuff.
