An article published in War on the Rocks provides some thought-provoking questions about military service.
The authors, Ronald R. Krebs and Robert Ralston, reference Susan Bryant, Heidi Urben, and Brett Swaney's preliminary research on military perspectives on service, as presented at the biennial meeting of the Interuniversity Seminar on Armed Forces and Society.
Susan Bryant and Heidi A. Urben previously collaborated on a different but related research paper for The Institute of Land Warfare, titled "Reconnecting Athens and Sparta: A Review of OPMS XXI at 20 years."
