To Serve with Honor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book argues that the permeation of business and civilian standards into the military services of the United States, have and will severely compromise its capabilities. Beliefs such as, that the lack of a promotion to a supervisory position should be equated with incompetence and failure, that physically comfortable administrative positions are more prestigious and require more competence than field positions, and the so-called "team spirit" entailing that everything, including ethics, be subordinate to the achievement of the goal, are thoroughly analyzed and criticized as incompatible with the fundamental purposes and responsibilities of a military serving a Western democracy, and the honor demanded for these responsibilities. All involved with, and interested in the capabilities of, the U.S. military will find this book both highly readable and uniquely thought provoking.
