Publisher: Newsweek, 2005ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Fathers and sons | McCain, John | Military service -- Voluntary | Soldiers -- Family relationships | U.S. -- Armed Forces -- RegulationsDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Military sons tend to spout worthy bromides about duty when asked why they followed their fathers to war. But their more personal motivations are not hard to divine. Combat has been a test (in some cultures the test) of manhood for millennia. There is no better way to win a father's respect than to defy death just the way he did. Indeed, the effort to surpass one's father or brother's bravery has gotten more than a few men killed....Conversations with officers at the top...show that there is a special poignancy to the stories of fathers and sons in the military, because a guy with heavy hardware on his chest knows that his decisions can get his own kid killed." (NEWSWEEK) This article examines the "military's special father-son bond."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
