SynopsisIn America, it is increasingly the case that the people who make, support, or protest military policy have no military experience. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, the gap between the "all-volunteer military" and the rest of us is widening, and our country faces a dangerous lack of understanding between those in power and those who defend our way of life., It is increasingly the case that the people who make, support, or protest military policy in America have no military experience. This text shows that the lack of connection between the military and the ruling elite is a serious problem for the nation.
