Moral Underpinnings of the Military Profession. An Organizational View of the US Armed Forces' Historical Foundations

The text argues that effective military leadership requires a deep understanding of absolute moral truths that are communal and transcendent, rather than solely based on reason or emotion. It emphasizes that neglecting these moral foundations has historically resulted in significant failures within military contexts. The work explores the necessity of a cohesive moral framework to guide leaders in making ethical decisions and maintaining integrity in military operations.
