Time magazine recently featured a fascinating article on the increasing disconnect and distance between the military (and therefore, the wars we are fighting) and the rest of the U.S. population. I'm including the link, but you may have to be a subscriber to read the whole thing: The Other 1%
If it doesn't work, the article is in the November 21, 2011 issue of Time.
The author Mark Thompson has also written on the topic in his blog, which is wholly accessible: An Army Apart
I just read this article. It makes a couple of good points and a couple of misleading points. Overall, I was not real impressed.
