Problem: Chris Hedges, in War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, writes: "I learned early on that war forms its own culture. The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug, one I ingested for many years. It is peddled by mythmakers--historians, war correspondents, filmmakers, novelists, and the state--all of whom endow it with qualities it often does possess: excitement, exoticism, power, chances to rise above our small station in life, and a bizarre and fantastic universe that has a grotesque and dark beauty." (page 3) Using this quote, consider our discussion of World War I and the related materials (Junger's "Storm of Steel", "Dulce et Decorum Est", the film "All Quiet on the Western Front"). How do they either support or contradict Hedges' point of view?
