Of Wars and Warriors (American Style)

Authors

Vincent Davis

Abstract

A fundamental fact seems relatively clear: Americans do not personally like to fight in wars, especially and most particularly as members of ground forces. Indeed, Americans have greatly and often passionately-sometimes even violently-resisted personal participation in combat and have used various means including political efforts, to avoid circumstances that could require such participation.
