"Alienation between the U.S. military and society has grown in recent decades. Such alienation is unhealthy, as it threatens both sufficient civilian control of the military and the long-standing ideal of the citizen soldier. Nowhere is this issue more predominant than at many major universities, which began turning their backs on the military during the chaotic years of the Vietnam War.

However, the following historic events haveentailed a redefinition process of the military's place in the state. This has resulted inreforms of the military potential and the interconnection of the civil and the militaryrelations at both the national and the international level. The current threats and risksagainst security additionally underline the necessity for such interconnection because themilitary culture significantly differs from the civilian culture in the approach to certainsecurity related issues.
