• When Should the Military Get Involved in Politics? Davidovic, Jovana 2021 International Journal of Applied Philosophy , Vol. 35 , Issue 1 , S. 1 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0739-098X | 2153-6910 10.5840/ijap20211220159 Abstract

    Commonly the military stays out of politics, and for good reason. Federal law regulates political activity for active duty military rather strictly because the consequences of having a military that is partisan can be devastating, as history has shown us repeatedly. In this paper, I argue that the current rules of political neutrality are too broad and that there are times when our military leaders ought to engage in political debate so as to serve the same aims that justify having strict political neutrality rules in the first place: namely building civilian-military trust, and promoting troop cohesion and morale.
