Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Since its return to an all-volunteer military force in the wake of the Vietnam War, the United States has faced an increasing cultural tension within its borders- that of the growing schism between the American society as a whole and the military supposedly representative of that society. Particularly as the result of trends during the 1990�s, the study of this �civil-military gap� has been renewed in certain academic circles. For the most part, however, this study has limited itself to the �what� and the �why� of the gap, rather than its ramifications for the future. While the former questions are essential to a better understanding of this growing disparity, the future implications of an American military divorced from its polity hold one part of the answer as to whether the United States can maintain its preeminent position in the present international environment. More importantly, these implications aid in addressing older, more fundamental issues- issues concerning the balance of individual rights and responsibilities in a liberal democracy and questions as to whether a liberal democracy can ever adequately function as an imperial power.
