It no longer should be as defensive as it can be. when it finds itself under fire. The media have been too focused on the triumphs and shortcomings on the battlefield. too unimaginative in dealing with the complexities of the military/political structure. as well as the manpower. the financial and the policy issues. No Institution in America is as representative of this great immigrant nation with all our varied parts as the military. and we need to be reminded of that on a daily basis. Too many citizens are willing to assume that defending the country is an assignment best left to someone else. that its not a personal or family obligation or calling. In the modern culture there are too few people around to challenge that.
