In an era where 'history' had supposedly ended, what was an Army
for? This question confronted the US Army at the end of the Cold
War. Although public support for the military remained high, fewer
were sending their children to enlist and questions were raised
about the uncertainty of future operations: How would Army leaders
prepare soldiers for difficult peacekeeping operations that called
for a more human-oriented approach in light of the promises of
high-tech warfare? How best to navigate the broader debates about
changing gender and sexual norms in American society? Pulled in
different directions, the Army struggled to put forward a
compelling vision of who and what the American solder should be. In
Uncertain Warriors, David Fitzgerald reveals how, in response to
this uncertainty, they eventually fell back on an older vision of
martial masculinity, embracing a 'warrior ethos' that was meant to
define the contemporary American soldier.
