Empowering Our Military Conscience
2010,2017,2016
Responding to increasing global anxiety over the ethics education of military personnel, this volume illustrates the depth, rigour and critical acuity of Professional Military Ethics Education (PMEE) with contributions by distinguished ethical theorists. It refreshes our thinking about the axioms of just war orthodoxy, the intellectual and political history of just war theorizing, and the justice of recent military doctrines and ventures. The volume also explores a neglected moral dimension of warfare, jus ante bellum (the ethics of pre-war practices) - particularly jus in disciplina bellica (the ethics of educating for warfare). Using metaphor to exemplify the professionalization of the military, the book exposes ambivalences within military professionals' concepts of their professional responsibilities, analyzes issues of self-respect posed by service in an unjust cause, and surveys the deep conflicts inherent in PMEE. While primarily focused on US military academies, the volume will resonate with those responsible for education in military academies across the globe.
Letters Public is being swindled by the health care industry
From an insider's perspective, it is obvious that the insurance industry and managed care intermediaries are taking employers and the public for a ride. The massive cost savings resulting from shortened hospital stays, deeply discounted contract rates with hospitals, shifts to outpatient procedures, increasing restrictions on outpatient care and significant reductions in physician fees simply are not being passed along to the employers or the consumers in more than a token fashion. The Editors: President Bill Clinton should veto the bill dealing with updating federal telecommunications regulations. While there is a pressing need to update the archaic regulations that guide our nation's telecommunications industry, this bill is fatally flawed in that it allows censorship on the internet and in electronic forms of speech. The Editors: The George Will column \"School uniforms, raging hormones and education\" inspired me. As a hormonally driven teenager, I find it incomprehensible that an obviously more cognitive and rational man such as Will would argue that $70,000 is more valuable than the freedom of speech in any form.
