The Code of the Warrior and the Kinder, Gentler Army

Abstract

This study reviews the history, evolution and sources of accepted "warrior" norms, behaviors and values as they exist in today's Army. This is set against sociological, legislated and evolutionary developments that have lead to the perception of a "kinder, gentler Army." The research intends to determine if natural evolution has occurred in support of U.S. national interests or if, in fact, today's Army is less able to meet warfighting and other directed requirements due to a softening of training and operating procedures which violated the warrior code.
