The legacies of these conflicts have serious implications for how the United States will wage war in the future. Yet there is a stunning lack of introspection about these conflicts. Never in modern U.S. history has the military been at war for so long. And never in U.S. history have such long wars demanded so much of so few. The legacy of wars without end include a military that feels the painful effects of war but often feels alone. The public is less connected to the military now than at any point in modern U.S. history. The national security apparatus seeks to pivot away from these engagements and to move on to the next threats--notably those emanating from China and Russia. Many young Americans question whether it even makes sense to invest in the military. At best, there are ad hoc, unstructured debates about Iraq or Afghanistan. Simply put, there has been no serious, organized stock-taking by the public, politicians, opinion leaders, or the military itself of this inheritance. Despite being at war for the longest continuous period in its history, the military is woefully unprepared for future wars. But the United States cannot simply hit the reset button. This book explores this inheritance by examining how nearly two decades of war have influenced civil-military relations, how the military goes to war, how the military wages war, who leads the military and who serves in it, how the military thinks about war, and above all, the enduring impact of these wars on those who waged them. If the U.S. military seeks to win in the future, it must acknowledge and reconcile with the inheritance of its long and inconclusive wars. This book seeks to help them do so."--Publisher description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-290) and index. 505 0 $a Why Should We Care: Legacy, Myth, and Memory -- The Military's Sense of Itself: The Crisis of Confidence -- The Military's Relationship to Society: The Crisis of Caring -- The Military's Relationship with Its Overseers: The Crisis of Meaningful Civilian Control -- How the Military Goes to War -- How the Military Wages War -- Who Serves in the Military -- Who Leads the Military -- The Military's Preparedness for Future Conflicts -- Now What? -- Brief Chronology of the Post-9/11 Wars. 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001-2021 $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History, Military $y 21st century. 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Military history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411630 776 08 $i Online version: $a Karlin, Mara E. $t Inheritance. $d Washington, D.C. : Brookings Institution Press, [2021] $w (OCoLC)1269094319 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030009.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221217010602.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9D3DB10EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
