The Other War
Israelis, Palestinians and the Struggle for Media Supremacy
(hardcover)
The Kinder, Gentler Military is a devastating critique of how and why the military-the most tradition-bound, masculine institution in the United States—spent the 1990s in a tortured attempt to reform its time-proven warrior culture into a new, politically correct value system, which is decimating morale in our armed forces.
Stephanie Gutmann scouts the field—the bases, the ships, and the flight lines—to define what is often called the “New Military.” She then shows why the complete integration of women into the military is physically and sociologically impossible, and how the pursuit of this unrealistic ideal is profoundly demoralizing to soldiers of both sexes and a sure setup for battlefield disaster. While the politically correct stance on this hot topic is pro-integration, Gutmann’s fresh and informative take on the practical and political inner workings of the nation’s military will cause second thoughts.
Unflinching, compassionate and balanced, The Kinder, Gentler Military is a persuasive argument in a compelling public debate.
