This book examines the evolving relationship between the U.S. military and civilian society, arguing that since the end of conscription the military has become increasingly isolated from the constitutional and civic foundations that underpin democratic control. The author—herself a former Air Force officer and constitutional-law scholar—analyses key judicial decisions, cultural shifts, and legal precedents that have redefined civil-military relations, warning that without reform the armed forces risk losing their constitutional bond and democratic legitimacy
