One of the central difficulties to a right understanding of
American civil-military relations is the nature of the U.S.
military. Are our armed forces just obedient bureaucracies like
most of the Executive branch, or are they vocational professions
granted significant autonomy and a unique role in these
relationships because of their expert knowledge and their expertise
to apply it in the defense of America? To large measure, the answer
to this question should determine the behavior of the strategic
leaders of these professions, including the uncommon behavior of
public dissent. Using the "Revolt of the Generals" in 2006 as
stimulus, the author develops from the study of military
professions the critical trust relationships that should have
informed their individual decisions to dissent. After doing so, he
makes recommendations for the restoration of the professions' ethic
in this critical area of behavior by the senior officers who are
the professions' strategic leaders.
