Summary

Memorial Day episode of Contra Cast. The institution is corrupt. The men inside it are often extraordinary. Those two things are both true and most people aren’t honest enough to hold both at once. I break down how the government weaponizes the hero label, what the men who actually served are made of, and what this day is really supposed to mean.
