Our Army paints a more complex picture, demonstrating that while army officers are likely to be more conservative, rank-and-file soldiers hold political views that mirror those of the American public as a whole, and army personnel are less partisan and politically engaged than most civilians. Assumptions about political attitudes in the U.S. Army are based largely on studies focusing on the senior ranks, yet these senior officers comprise only about 6 percent of America's fighting force. Jason Dempsey provides the first random-sample survey that also covers the social and political attitudes held by enlisted men and women in the army. Uniting these findings with those from another unique survey he conducted among cadets at the United States Military Academy on the eve of the 2004 presidential election, Dempsey offers the most detailed look yet at how service members of all ranks approach politics. He shows that many West Point cadets view political conservatism as part of being an officer, raising important questions about how the army indoctrinates officers politically. But Dempsey reveals that the rank-and-file army is not nearly as homogeneous as we think--or as politically active--and that political attitudes across the ranks are undergoing a substantial shift. Our Army adds needed nuance to our understanding of a profession that seems increasingly distant from the average American. 606 $aCivil-military relations$zUnited States 606 $aSoldiers$zUnited States$xAttitudes 606 $aSoldiers$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivil-military relations 615 0$aSoldiers$xAttitudes. 615 0$aSoldiers$xPolitical activity 676 $a322/.50973 700 $aDempsey$b Jason K.$f1972-$01048241 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456994703321 996 $aOur army$92476411 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03488oas 2201153 a 450 001 9910689385403321 005 20250205175732.0 011 $a2169-2130 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2095952-7 035 $a(OCoLC)38364131 035 $a(CONSER) 2011236509 035 $a(CKB)963018181936 035 $a(EXLCZ)99963018181936 100 $a19980206b19871999 uy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAirpower journal 210 $aMaxwell AFB, Ala. ;$aWashington, D.C. $cAU Press $cFor sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O.$d1987-1999 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from journal home page (publisher's Web site, viewed Feb. 27, 2007). 311 08$a0897-0823 330 $aAirpower Journal is the current title of the discontinued newsletter, Air University Review.
