Bruce Ramos | Why Warriors Hate War

from Beneath the Obvious · host Rick Hoppe

Why might the people most prepared to fight be the least eager to go to war? Retired Army Counterintelligence Special Agent Bruce J. Ramos joins Rick Hoppe to explore what military service teaches about strength, restraint, and the human cost of conflict. Drawing on 35 years in counterintelligence and five wartime deployments, Bruce challenges familiar assumptions about those who serve. The conversation moves beyond the battlefield: why coming home doesn’t mean returning unchanged, what it means to defend someone’s freedom to criticize you, and how experience turns a black-and-white world into shades of gray. Look beneath the obvious. Ask different questions.
