Over the past 5 years, the War on Terrorism has produced many
unforeseen results for the U.S. Army, something not unexpected by
those who study war as we do here at the Strategic Studies
Institute (SSI). One event, however, was truly unexpected-the
participation in 2006 by several Army flag officers in the "Revolt
of the Generals." It was unexpected because the professional ethic
of the Army in the modern era has held that, in civilmilitary
relations, the military is the servant of its
Constitutionally-mandated civilian leaders, both those in the
Executive branch and in the Congress. Thus, as Samuel Huntington
noted over 5 decades ago, "loyalty and obedience" are the cardinal
military virtues. This precept has remained embedded in the Army's
professional ethos to this day, especially for the strategic
leaders of the Army Profession. An act of public dissent is to be
exceptionally rare, undertaken only after the most careful analysis
and determination of its absolute necessity.
