“The Abrams Doctrine only functions as a constraint on war - TopicsExpress



          

“The Abrams Doctrine only functions as a constraint on war making to the extent that we’re shocked by Americans being called away from their regular lives to join combat. Through sheer repetition, sheer volume, though, those call-ups eventually just stopped being shocking. The post-9/11 deployment pace has put Guardsmen and reservists and their families squarely on the soldier side of the citizen-soldier ideal. Calling them up no longer ensures a big national debate about the merits of a given war.” Excerpt From: Maddow, Rachel. “Drift.” Crown Publishers, 2012-03-27. iBooks.
