The Military Profession: At a Crossroads

Abstract

This paper has two purposes: First, to propose some changes within the military profession to keep it "professional," amidst numerous "occupational" trends taking hold within the services; second, to explore the issue of public dissent as it relates to the military, most notably by retired flag officers, and recommend steps to preserve the trust and respect our military enjoys vis-a-vis its client, the American people.
