To some, the idea of ethics seems out of touch with modern realities and sensibilities. "How can an external moral standard dictate one's actions?" some might ask. Ethics can therefore bring up memories of bygone eras that seem irrelevant. Coupled with the qualifier military, ethics can seem even more puzzling. Ethics is not merely a concern for past eras, but is increasingly relevant in an age of rapid technological and societal development. From its beginning, our nation's military leaders have viewed ethics as imperative to the task of warfighting. This is a refrain echoed by contributions to this book who address a range of issues concerning political actors, technological capabilities, and societal shifts of the past and the present. And in commemorating the centenary of World War I, it is appropriate to consider the ethics of warfare. This book helpfully relates lessons from the past to the major ethical issues of modern warfare. By providing diverse reflections on the history of military ethics and challenges of contemporary and future warfare, this book serves as a repository of meaningful material for a new generation of warfighters to develop their own faculties of ethical judgment"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $aPersistent Fire 606 $aMilitary ethics 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aSoldiers$xProfessional ethics 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects 606 $aMilitary chaplains 606 $aEthics$2fast 606 $aMilitary chaplains$2fast 606 $aMilitary ethics$2fast 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects$2fast 615 0$aMilitary ethics. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aSoldiers$xProfessional ethics. 615 0$aWar$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aMilitary chaplains. 615 7$aEthics. 615 7$aMilitary chaplains. 615 7$aMilitary ethics. 615 7$aWar$xReligious aspects. 676 $a174.9355 702 $aMallard$b Timothy S. 702 $aWhite$b Nathan H. 712 02$aNational Defense University Press, 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910708692503321 996 $aA persistent fire$93397286 997 $aUNINA
