209: The Trouble with LARP

What if the true LARP is the assumption that we can be credited as being part of the community without participation? When the term LARP (Live Action Role Playing) is used as an epitaph, it accuses the target of living in a fantasy. With analysis, we look at what it is that is considered dishonorable about so-called LARP-ing.

What we find out is that many of us may be LARPing even if we're not running around in the woods in full kit with the boys.

And it begs out another question: what would we do, or who would we be, if we had all the resources and gear to train at the highest level we can imagine. If we had the money and time to train to the level of CAG or SEAL Team 6, without being there, how would. we look at that?
