No longer would young men find their futures determined by the selective service system; nor would the U.S. military have a guaranteed source of recruits. America’s Army is the story of the all-volunteer force, from the draft protests and policy proposals of the 1960s through the Iraq War. It is also a history of America in the post-Vietnam era. In the Army, America directly confronted the legacies of civil rights and black power, the women’s movement, and gay rights. The volunteer force raised questions about the meaning of citizenship and the rights and obligations it carries; about whether liberty or equality is the more central American value; what role the military should play in American society not only in time of war, but in time of peace. And as the Army tried to create a volunteer force that could respond effectively to complex international situations, it had to compete with other “employers” in a national labor market and sell military service alongside soap and soft drinks. Based on exhaustive archival research, as well as interviews with Army officers and recruiters, advertising executives, and policy makers, America’s Army confronts the political, moral, and social issues a volunteer force raises for a democratic society as well as for the defense of our nation.Military service, VoluntaryUnited StatesMilitary service, Voluntary355.2/230973Bailey Beth L.1957-1804892MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962379103321America's Army4353186UNINA00966nam0 22002291i 450 UON0018152120231205103134.26420030730d1977 |0itac50 bagerGW|||| 1||||ˆDie ‰Assoziierung afrikanischer Staaten an die Europäischen Gemeinschafteneine Politik raumwirtschaftlicher Integration ?Friedhelm HengsbachBaden-Bade nNomos1977238 p.23 cm.CeeConvenzione di LomèUONC037087FIHENGSBACHFriedhelmUONV104487260640ITSOL20250718RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00181521SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI COM G 0013 SI SC 3585 5 0013 Assoziierung afrikanischer Staaten an die Europäischen Gemeinschaften706548UNIOR
