The Warrior Nation and Its Heroes Sample Clauses

The Warrior Nation and Its Heroes. In fulfilling its civilizing mission as ‘benevolent conquerors,’ the nation is expected to perform military deeds because it is assumed to be a warrior nation divinely elected to manifest collective heroism. In this regard, the Turkish nation is a warrior-nation, and “all Turks are born as soldiers” with the ability to fight.282 Therefore, it is not only soldiers in the military, but all members of the nation are also supposed to fulfill their duties for the nation’s, and by extension, the family’s survival. Therefore, within this context, the nation’s heroes are its role models283 with their bravery and patriotism.284 As Smith states, heroes mirror the best of the community’s traditions, its authentic voice in the moment of its first flowering. They represent courage, wisdom, self-sacrifice, and zeal, which are believed to be lacking in the present generation.285 Thus, all the heroes mentioned in that dissertation are basically the reproductions of this myth, so they are all heroes of the Turkish warrior nation. In nationalist minds, the heroic deeds are all “reserved for the masculine,” as Silva notes.286 As embodiments of the nation, men are expected to protect and save the homeland, women, and children.287 On this matter, Enloe puts forward an interesting argument. Specifically, she says, “nationalism has typically sprung from masculinized memory, masculinized humiliation, and masculinized hope.”288 It is ‘manly-men’ who are active agents in the formation and maintenance of the nation. So, in fact, masculinity is intimately linked to militarism, “yet the two sets of ideas are not inseparable.” 289 Men, however, do not automatically become heroes, and first, they need to pass the tests of masculinity.290 In this context, war is a significant opportunity for men to accomplish and 282 Suavi Aydın, “Toplumun Militarizasyonu: Zorunlu Askerlik Sisteminin ve Ulusal Orduların Yurttaş Yaratma Sürecindeki Rolü, in Çarklardaki Kum, eds.
