A nation must think before it acts.
Baseball, Football, and the American Way of War
Are there similarities between a nation’s sporting culture and it military culture (i.e., how it conducts it military operations)? In this provocative conversation FPRI’s Director of Research Dr. Michael P. Noonan will look at how America’s pastime (baseball) and its “passion” (football) help to explain, or not explain, the American way(s) of war. While war is not sport and sport is not war, thinking about them together isn’t necessarily a waste of time.
