{"product_id":"9780817919344","title":"Warriors and Citizens: American Views of Our Military","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt has been said that 1 percent of our citizens serve and go to war and that 99 percent go to the mall, In Warriors and Citizens, a diverse group of contributors offers perspectives on whether or not the different experiences of our military and of our broader society are fraying the traditional civil relationship-and if the American public is losing connection to its military. The author analyze extensive polling information to identify gaps between civilian and military attitudes on issues central to the professionalism of our military; determine which, if any, of those gaps are problematic for sustaining the traditionally strong bonds between the American military and its broader public; analyze whether such gaps are amenable to remediation by policy means; and assess potential solutions. The contributors explores public disengagement and the effect of high levels of public support for the military combined with low levels of trust in elected political leaders-both recurring themes in their research. They also reflect on whether Americans are now so divorced from the requirements for success in warfare that we are becoming intolerant of the ways our military's function dictates practices different from our broader society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoover Institution Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011750969584,"sku":"9780817919344","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780817919344_p0.jpg?v=1763750524","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780817919344","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
