Controversial Contrails: The Costs of Remotely Piloted Foreign Policy

Unmanned aircraft represent a growth industry because they deliver on their promise of cheaper, easier, and safer warfare. Therein lies the problem. They reduce the political impact of resorting to arms because there is reduced activity that enough is known about to hold anyone accountable for. Their use also affects foreign views of our national spirit. Moreover, they further separate combatants and societies from the full effects of war, which risks making it so painless it will be more readily resorted to. It devolves on our elected officials to weigh the morality of unmanned weapons against their practicality to ensure that national interests are truly met. America must not decouple from the ethical questions that should always attend armed conflict.

Reconsidering The Armed Forces Officer of 1950: Democracy, Dialogue, the Humanities, and the Military Profession

S.L.A. Marshall’s masterful work, The Armed Forces Officer, represents the officer corps, and by implication all warriors, as a repository that lifts the entire society the military serves. Though this ideal may exist more as a potentiality than a fact, Marshall deplores the waning of intellectualism as highly damaging to the correct ethos of warriors in democratic societies.

Thus his work clarifies the ambiguities associated with citizen-soldiery and the responsibilities weighing on officers, who he sees as ideally persons of wisdom and vision who are adroit in both action and restraint

Values Statements and the Profession of Arms: A Reevaluation

Core values statements are a two-edged sword. Properly conceived, they motivate and inspire military practitioners. Improperly conceived, they obfuscate the performance of duty and the philosophical underpinnings of the entire military enterprise. If the core values statements of the Services truly contain universal truth, what distinguishes the statements found in the profession of arms from those of other professions? Why is there variation among Services that relegate values statements to the kind of cultural and operational differences found in, for instance, uniforms? Warriors should be able to give a coherent and cogent account of their organizations’ values. It is time to evaluate the Services’ values statements to ensure they are taught, understood, pondered, and usable; otherwise they should be redone.
