Признание военной службы без политики

Ноа Де Ботон, ученик выпускного класса King's College School в Уимблдоне, взял интервью у пяти ветеранов из трёх стран о том, что с ними произошло после увольнения из армии. Он сравнивает, как Великобритания и США относятся к людям, которые служили. В выступлении также обсуждается, должна ли благодарность за службу иметь какой-либо политический смысл. Выступление прозвучало на независимо организованном мероприятии TEDx.

• Должна ли благодарность за службу иметь политический смысл

Noah interviewed five veterans from three countries about what happened to them after they left the services. Alongside what he learned from them, he compares how Britain and the United States regard the people who have served, and asks whether thanking someone for their service has to mean anything about politics at all. Noah is a Year 12 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon. He is studying the International Baccalaureate, taking Philosophy, French, and Economics at higher level, and Mathematics, Physics, and Literature and Performance at standard level. He rows for King's and is also a member of the school's Combined Cadet Force, where he was recently promoted to corporal. He hopes to go to university in the United States, and has not yet decided which subject he would like to major in.
