133Torture and the military professionPalgrave-Macmillan. 2007.From the Publisher: The military claims to be an honourable profession, yet military torture is widespread. Why is the military violating its own values? Jessica Wolfendale argues that the prevalence of military torture is linked to military training methods that cultivate the psychological dispositions connected to crimes of obedience. While these methods are used, the military has no credible claim to professional status. Combating torture requires that we radically rethink the nature of the m…Read more

678Paternalism, Consent, and the Use of Experimental Drugs in the MilitaryJournal of Medicine and Philosophy 33 (4): 337-355. 2008.Modern military organizations are paternalistic organizations.

This is crucial for two reasons: the military's ethical commitments require military perso…Read more
