Abstract
I teach civil-military relations at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. While searching for readings for an elective course taught in the spring semester, I came across a 2010 article written in the L.A. Times, “An increasingly politicized military.” One passage stood out:
“By all accounts, the curricula of the service academies and the war colleges give
remarkably little attention to the central importance of civilian control. They do not
systematically expose up-and-coming officers to intensive case studies and simulations
designed to give them a sense of the principle’s real-world implications.”
