Phil Klay Joined Quotations

There's a tradition of public service in my family. I'm one of three boys that joined the military. My father was in the Peace Corps.

There's a tendency to look at anybody who joined the military as if they underwrote everything that happened policy-wise. That's not really the case. I have a friend who both protested the Iraq War and joined the military, and ended up serving two deployments in Afghanistan.
