YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Masculinity: valor, heroism, courage (overcoming fear), selflessness, altruism, self-sacrifice for the greater good, protectiveness.

Negative identity formation: dehumanizing, objectifying, and demonizing the enemy, morality play (good vs, evil).

Role playing in an adversarial rule-based game (as revealed when veterans on both sides meet after the war is over).

Winning validates (divine blessing and being chosen, Gott mit uns).

Cultural-social activity that facilitates intimacy, bonding and cooperation, innovation, and emergent, cathartic new order.

Tension between individual and collective (special ops as middle ground).

If we succeed to change the orientation of both Jews and Palestinians from the past to the future and if we get rid of the shame-based retribution cycles, we have hope.
