N2  - Collection of 6 papers which argue strongly that attempts to apply general societal norms of action and behaviour to the armed forces will seriously reduce the ability of such forces to fight and win wars and may even render the forces useless. Chapters look at the effects of privatisation (cost saving exercises), women in the military, acceptance of homosexuals, increasingly politically oriented staff officers, the declining numbers of politicians with any military experience, and the increasing involvement of civil lawyers in military cases
