Military ethics is not a field known to take inspiration from Kantian-inspired thinkers. Demonstrating how an ethicist who takes Kantian commitments seriously addresses controversial questions in the profession of arms, this volume examines some of the less frequently studied topics within military ethics such as women in combat, military careerism, homosexuality, teaching bad ethics, immoral wars, collateral damage and just war theory.

1. Are military professionals bound by a higher moral standard? Functionalism and its limits -- 2. Women in combat : discrimination by generality -- 3. Careerism in the military services : an analysis of its nature, why it is wrong and what might be done about it -- 4. Homosexuality and military service : a case for abandoning "don't ask, don't tell" -- 5. How to teach a bad military ethics course -- 6. Should members of the military fight in immoral wars? A case for selective conscientious objection -- 7. Does the doctrine of double effect justify collateral damage? A case for more restrictive targeting policies -- 8. Just war theory : triumphant. and doing more harm than good.

"The Routledge Handbook of Military Ethics is a comprehensive reference work that addresses concerns held in common by the military services of many nations. It attempts to discern both moral dilemmas and clusters of moral principles held in common by all practitioners of this profession, regardless of nation or culture. Comprising essays by contributors drawn from the four service branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine corps) as well as civilian academics specializing in this field, this handbook discusses the relationship of 'ethics' in the military setting to applied and professional ethics generally. Leading scholars and senior military practitioners from countries including the US, UK, France, China, Australia and Japan, discuss various national cultural views of the moral dimensions of military service. With reference to the responsibilities of professional orientation and education, as well as the challenges posed by recent technological developments, this handbook examines the difficulties underpinning the fundamental framework of military service. This book will be of much interest to students of military studies, war theory, ethics philosophy, sociology, war and conflict studies, and security studies"--Provided by publisher
