VETERANS DAY
Today is Veterans Day. I'm reading Modernizing China's Military: Progress, Problems, and Prospects by David L. Shambaugh, and the book puts me in mind of how fortunate we are in America to have a tradition of professional, non-political citizen-soldiers. We owe our freedoms to our military, but it is a debt that has never weighed on our social or political character in a way that does violence to our liberties. It is a debt that can never be repayed, but which those who hold the note never call.
