Egon Flaig
Egon Flaig is a historian known for his critical examination of modern democratic societies and their attitudes towards sacrifice and military service. In a recent discussion, he argued that the lack of willingness among parents to see their children serve as soldiers undermines the resilience of democracies. Flaig believes that a strong sense of national identity and collective values is essential for a republic to thrive, especially in times of conflict. He has pointed out the dangers of a post-heroic mindset that prioritizes individualism over communal responsibility, suggesting that this cultural shift leads to a weakening of societal bonds and military readiness.
