Episode 12: The Citizen Soldier

The Minutemen of Lexington and Concord, the sharpshooters on both sides at Gettysburg, the "Greatest Generation" of WWII. These were citizen-soldiers, a concept we take for granted now but that was revolutionary when it first appeared. Who invented it? The farmer-warriors of ancient Greece, who took down their spears and shields from over the fireplace and went off to fight. If you and I value democracy and individual freedom, we can thank them. They answered the call when it came ... and returned home to their families when the emergency was over.
