| Publisher Description: In America, it is increasingly the case that the people who make, support, or protest military policy have no military experience. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, the gap between the all-volunteer military and the rest of us is widening, and our country faces a dangerous lack of understanding between those in power and those who defend our way of life. |
