Forever War : Becoming the Enemy

The Forever War is a great piece of post-Vietnam social critique, not least in its depiction of a society that deserves to lose the war that it’s chosen to fight. Here I talk about the story through that lens, meandering toward a point in the usual Feral Historian manner.

Also I wanted to get this one out because I’m going to make some Forever War comparisons in an upcoming video.

Most of the B-Roll is from the Forever War comic adaptation, both the original black and white version and the later color release. Also threw in some clips from Starship Troopers : Traitor of Mars just to mix up the visuals a bit because there's already too much of me sitting on a rock.
