This book aims to provide a basic guide to the US military and will
raise questions for further discussion by students. The US spends
as much on its military as all other nations the world combined;
even in a severe recession, the military budget has been
sacrosanct. The US military can reach into the most remote areas of
the globe and kill its enemies from long distances with impunity.
It is not a citizen military, but a military of senior
professionals who command young volunteers many of them attracted
by rewards unavailable to them in civilian life, such as an
education. Both are supported by large numbers of contractors
working for profit. While political scientists study the
legislature, the presidency, the courts, public opinion, voting,
campaigns, state and local government, only rarely do they refer to
government's defining institutions, those that exercise legitimate
force, i.e., the police and more especially, the military. Prof.
Michael Walzer asserts that in a democracy citizens are responsible
for the kind of military they have and how and where it is used.
Nevertheless, few political science students have much knowledge on
the military. This book will be of much interest to students of the
US military, US politics, US defense, and military studies in
general.
