520    $a Bacevich takes stock of the separation between Americans and their military, tracing its origins to the Vietnam era  and exploring its pernicious implications: a nation with an abiding appetite for war waged at enormous expense by a standing army demonstrably unable to achieve victory. Rather than something for "other people" to do, Bacevich argues that national defense should become the business of "we the people."
