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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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