Synopsis:

Examines the increasing problem resulting from the fact that the people who make, support, or protest military policy have no military experience, analyzing the disconnect between military service and the privileged elite and contending that the elite are lacking the benefits of military service, such as leadership, exposure to a cross-section of citizens, and other vital experience.
