What is the the importance of military history for the everyday citizen
"It is essential for any citizen in a democratic state to understand the history of warfare: how nations in the past interacted, made decisions, and faced consequences. With these tools we can create stronger leadership and be able to hold them accountable as an educated public." - Hoover Institute
