step 288: understand the broader implications of war. particularly unprosecuted rape. Matt Damon is the narrator of the five-part PBS documentary Women, War & Peace.  in the interview “Why Should Men Care?” he explains why he chose to be a part of the series. “the quicker we can move away from this sanitized vocabulary of ‘collateral damage’ and start thinking of things in terms of rape and all of these horrible things…that are a byproduct of war, the quicker we’ll get people thinking in terms of what war actually means. so that when they make the decision to say ‘yes we should or shouldn’t go to war’ they’ll know what they’re actually making a decision for.”
