E4050 - Ep4025_BardsFM: The American Brand - The Cult of War
Published: March 1, 2026
Duration: 1:12:16
Americans’ obsession with war is deeply rooted in a cult-like ritualism that transcends strategic necessity, serving as a form of American civil religion. The military is elevated to a sacred status, with soldiers portrayed as Christ-like martyrs whose suffering redeems the nation. Veterans are celebrated as messianic figures on Veterans Day, yet their lived experiences of trauma and moral injury are ignored. This "empire of sacrifice" allows the public to remain detached from the real human and societal costs of war.
