The Profession of Arms

Revolutionary War SoldiersThe Army has issued a White Paper with the stated purpose:

. . . to facilitate an Army-wide dialog about our Profession of Arms. It is neither definitive nor authoritative, but a starting point with which to begin discussion … All members of the profession and those who support the profession are encouraged to engage in this dialog. (1)

This white paper serves as a beginning to discuss the wider issue of the Profession of Arms as well as the specific need for Soldiers at all levels to seek a moral foundation which will enable the successful navigation of ethical problems both in combat and after re-deployment.
