ABSTRACT
Wars do make men. And not just real wars. Possible wars, imagined wars, even unthinkable wars shape men—and women. Just as modern war required modern soldiers, postmodern war needs soldiers with new military virtues who can meet the incredible requirements of high-tech war. These new soldiers are molded, in part, by personnel science and marketing analysis in uneasy alliance with traditional military discipline and community. But in another sense it is the weapons themselves that are constructing the U.S. soldier of today and tomorrow.
