I think you vastly overstate the complexity (as opposed to previous militaries) and understate the ability of the military to train for complex tasks. You also seem to assume that future wars will be like the current wars. This attitude has been exacerbated by the "push-button war" in the Balkans.And the modern professional military you laud has had some amazing modern professional f*ck-ups. Like the soldiers at Abu Ghraib. Like Beau Bergdahl. Like Major Hassan. And the people who let these people happen. The state of American males you identify is a social problem that this country is going to have to face someday, military or not. Do you feel that the writer of the "Chicken-hawk" article is mistaken in saying the country is too separated from the military? |
