From Screen to Paper: Redefining the Modern Military
Strategy Bridge
October 6, 2018
Nathan K. Finney and Tyrell O. Mayfield
There are some topics that always bear revisiting. These conversations never truly end, and one of them that resurfaces time and again is the status of the profession of arms. Nearly four years ago, Dr. Pauline Shanks-Kaurin hit send on a tweet renewing this conversation in ways that were, at the time, unpredictable. Today, given the ensuing course of events, it seems even more important than it did at the time.
Social media has transformed the way we communicate, and this initial tweet from Dr. Shanks-Kaurin set in motion an intellectual debate about the status of the profession of arms, its history, and its arc into the future. Tweets led to conversations, which resulted in an extended series of seventeen articles on The Strategy Bridge discussing the intersection of profession and ethics in the modern military.
