"So someone might be asking, why, amid so much devastation and war, why should I be thinking about the soldiers here? I think we should care about all the devastation of war, about the full scope of humanity that is destroyed in and through war. And so one of the goals of this book — really the main goal of this book — is to convince the reader of the humanity of military personnel and to convince the reader that their humanity matters and that the government's treatment of them matters." A new episode of "Berkeley Law Voices Carry" features Professor Saira Mohamed, whose new book, "What a Country Owes Its Soldiers," has just been published by Harvard University Press. Her central thesis is that while our society puts soldiers on a “thank you for your service” pedestal, in practice they’re treated as tools for the government’s will, in contexts ranging from being given deteriorating equipment to being deployed to illegal wars. Mohamed concludes with a call to transform how our government treats its servicemembers, with an emphasis on recognizing their humanity.
