13. I fear the rise of an American Coriolanous

I truly think that our republic will not survive another war. If we have another war, I think that we will see the rise of an American Coriolanous. Coriolanous is one of the lessor know works by William Shakespeare about a Roman General who returns home as a war hero, but in trying to gain political office is banished as a traitor.

Coriolanus is the name given to a Roman general after his more than adequate military success against various uprisings challenging the government of Rome. Following this success, Coriolanus becomes active in politics and seeks political leadership. His temperament is unsuited for popular leadership and he is quickly deposed, whereupon he aligns himself to set matters straight according to his own will. The alliances he forges to accomplish his own will result in his ultimate downfall and death.

The point point of this pay that last through time is that war changes people, especially people who have gone though multiple rotations in conflict zones. Coriolanus due to his years of war have been alienated form both his family and society. We see this same alienation in modern day military people.

If we have anymore wars, the alienation is going to turn to anger and our republic will be in danger.
