PATRIOTISM, POPULISM, AND THE POLITICS OF MILITARY SERVICE

PATRIOTISM, POPULISM, AND THE POLITICS OF MILITARY SERVICE
 Ronald Krebs , Carrie Lee  January 21, 2025

In an era where public trust in institutions has seen a sharp decline, the United States military has managed to maintain relatively high levels of public confidence. However, recent trends indicate a concerning decrease in this trust, raising questions about the future of civil-military relations. Ronald Krebs, a professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, joins host Carrie Lee to discuss the intricate relationship between the military and the public. Their conversation explores the factors contributing to this decline, the impact of political polarization, and the unique reverence Americans hold for their armed forces. And it echoes the theme of his most recent article Trump vs. the Military. It’s the latest episode in our Civil-Military Relations Center speaker series.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Thomas Jefferson

I'm very wary of any professor from Minnesota.  Just as much, and maybe more, than if he/she were from California.
