In the current strategic environment, Morris Janowitz's The Professional Soldier deserves renewed emphasis, especially from the military's senior leaders who are responsible for the education and development of the country's officer corps. Janowitz's work is an especially valuable guide to the education of officers today because of his focus on the need for military officers to understand the political impact of military posture and military operations. The education of U.S. military officers to meet the country's national security needs in the 21st century must go beyond Huntington's formulation of expertise to an appreciation, in Janowitz's terms, of 'the political and social impact of the military establishment on international security affairs' across the spectrum of conflict. Janowitz's formulation is the better guide because military means serve political purposes, and ultimately, a country's strategic success will be judged in political terms.
