Downs, Donald Alexander; Murtazashvili, Ilia – Cambridge University Press, 2012
Alienation between the U.S. military and society has grown in recent decades.

Theokas, Christina – Education Trust, 2010
Many educators comfortably embrace the myth that the military will enlist any and all high school graduates who are interested. However, a new analysis from The Education Trust reports that too many of the nation's high school graduates have not been adequately prepared to serve in the U.S. Army. In "Shut Out of the Military," the…

The United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, has a clear and well-understood mission: to prepare leaders for service in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps. Most people know something about "Navy." But what most people don't know is that Navy also provides a top liberal education to all midshipmen, and that one of the central elements of that…

Powell, Jonathan – Journal of Conflict Resolution, 2012
Previous studies have attested to leaders "coup-proofing" their regimes by reducing the ability or disposition of their armies to seek their removal.

U.S. Army doctrine defines leadership around the ability to influence (Department of the U.S. Army, 2006) and accordingly, Army leaders have decided that extending influence is a vital part of any future leadership training requirements (Horey, Fallesen, Morath, Cronin, Cassella, Franks, Jr., & Smith, 2004).

The Air Force has long recognized the importance of selecting the most qualified officers possible.
