Episode 73 - Karl Marlantes on Incapacitation

Karl Marlantes spent a year in combat in Vietnam as a Marine Lieutenant.  During that time he collected memories and medals, sorrows and stories.  He poured those experiences into his award-winning book Matterhorn, a fictionalized memoir of his time there.  Today's quote can be read two ways, positively or critically.  Though it may have been written critically, we can interpret and apply it positively.
