Abstract
The “deconstruction” of texts—a postmodernist technique that denies the existence of objectively true meanings—can be usefully applied, with adaptations, to the military world. A Marine officer argues that it generates valuable insights by identifying everything that a document’s drafters thought most important, less important, and not important enough to mention.
