Description

Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society that they defend More specifically have Americas professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of Americas warfighting decisions since the inception of an allvolunteer force In this volume Michael J Robillard and Bradley J Strawser examine the question of whether and how American soldiers have been exploited in this way

Robillard and Strawser offer an original theory of moral exploitationthe notion that persons or groups can be wrongfully exploited by being made to shoulder an excessive amount of moral weight They make the case that this exploitation accurately describes the relationship between the United States and the members of its military and offer an indepth analysis of some of the exploitative and misleading elements of presentday military recruitment the moral burdens soldiers often bear and the stifling effect that a Thank You for Your Service and I support the troops culture has had on serious public engagement about Americas ongoing wars Robillard and Strawser offer a critique of the pernicious divide between military members and the civilians who direct them They conclude by arguing for several normative and prudential prescriptions to help close this everwidening fissure between the US and its military and within the US itself
