Paul Chappell: Why War is Not Inevitable
Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 2015-09-17

If human beings are naturally violent and war is inevitable, then why have military organizations throughout history had to expend such vast resources to brainwash soldiers in order to get them to kill and why does killing make humans mentally ill? As a thirty-one year old West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran, Paul K. Chappell has some first hand knowledge on this.  But he also knows a thing or two about how to "wage peace".  He is the Peace Leadership Director at the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.

This is an extraordinary talk recorded in 2011 that I never broadcast because it was too long.  I have edited it down to 58 minutes for Free Speech TV but I am posting the full 1:14 minute version here.

The talk was recorded by Pirate TV co/producer Todd Boyle.
