The Kinder, Gentler Military: How Political Correctness Affects Our Ability to Win Wars

This volume is a critique of the current U.S. military system. The volume argues that the military is at its core a tradition-bound, masculine institution, perhaps the most masculine in the United States. The volume goes on to argue that the U.S. military spent the 1990s evolving from a "time-proven warrior culture" into a new, "politically correct" value system, and ultimately argues that this shift is decimating morale in American armed forces.
