b'In the past few years, there\\u2019s been a lot written about the ills of the \\u201cmasks of masculinity.\\u201d These supposed social masks are the source of personal problems in the lives of men as well as countless societal problems.\\xa0\\nBut what if the problem isn\\u2019t the masks of masculinity themselves? What if the problem is we don\\u2019t teach young men how to wear these masks in a way that\\u2019s productive and pro-social?\\xa0\\nThat\\u2019s what my guest today suggests. He makes his living teaching actors how to put on the mask of the masculine soldier. His name is Dale Dye, and he\\u2019s a retired Marine captain who served in Vietnam, and he\'s the owner of Warriors, Inc., a company that consults actors and filmmakers on how to make war movies more realistic. Today on the show, Dale and I discuss how he went from a career in the military to a career in film and what many filmmakers get wrong about war. Using war historian John Keegan\\u2019s book "The Mask of Command" as a starting point, Dale and I discuss why social masks are necessary in leadership, war, and even being a man. Dale share his insights about the masks of masculinity from years of teaching actors how to be soldiers, why it\\u2019s important to have multiple masks in your arsenal, and knowing when to put them on in different situations.\\nGet the show notes at aom.is/daledye.'
