Rowman & Littlefield Publishersc20091 online resource (230 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7425-6504-1 0-7425-6503-3 Includes bibliographical references (p. 205-210) and index."Mr. President, when do we enlist?": the reality of alienated war -- The rise and fall of the citizen-soldier; or, bye-bye, Elvis -- Chickenhawk variations -- Integrity, reciprocity, and the Murtha test -- "Invisible in war, invincible in peace": Chickee-Hawk variations.The book treats the compelling question of war and personal responsibility in contemporary America. Cheyney Ryan examines how Americans often support modern warfare but have zero interest in fighting themselves (hence, the 'chickenhawk syndrome,' where one who champions war seeks to avoid any personal sacrifice). Ryan seeks to show how we must come to terms with our understanding and valuing of war when we ourselves are not committed to fighting in it.War and societyUnited StatesSacrificeUnited StatesResponsibilitySocial aspectsUnited StatesWar and societySacrificeResponsibilitySocial aspects303.6/6Ryan Cheyney1948-1503839MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777968803321The Chickenhawk syndrome3732504UNINA
