Finally, while I find that most Army officers’ level of political activism is muted, I find that party identification does affect not only levels of political activism within the officer corps but also officers’ views of senior civilian leaders and the role senior military leaders should play in decisions on the use of force. In closing, while my finding do not suggest the officer corps has become dangerously politicized, they have uncovered several fault lines in the officer corps’ nonpartisan ethic that are likely to attract the attention of both civil-military relations scholars and senior military and governmental leaders alike.
