It departs from the premise that military service compelled by the state and performed as an obligation of citizenship may be understood as constitutive of citizen service. Based on this analytic distinction, the article develops one central argument. Citizen service was first realized in the United States during the American Revolution, but not, as might be expected, in the compulsory militia dating from the colonial period. Rather, citizen service was realized first in the form of the federally mandated conscription of American national citizens into the Continental Army, a peculiarly Revolutionary contribution to the War of Independence. Citizen service's Revolutionary birth in national conscription, then, helps to recast the very roots of the American military tradition. BY MEYER KESTNBAUM U.S. MILITARY ATTITUDES TOWARD POST-COLD WAR MISSIONS 37 In this article, we seek to determine whether officers support the post-Cold War's range of new missions and why. To this end, we examine the attitudes of U.S. officers at the command and staff colleges for each service branch. On average, we find that while officers support traditional missions more than new missions, they do support these new missions and believe they address the greatest dangers facing the U.S. We also find that officers are more likely to appreciate the importance of military participation in humanitarian assistance, antiterrorism, and drug interdiction when they serve in a noncombat role, and those who believe that their MOS leads to future career success are more likely to support peace enforcement and peacekeeping. Most significantly, officers' enthusiasm about new missions is linked to their beliefs about civilian attitudes. On average, officers believe that the president supports the entire range of missions. They see Congress and (especially) the public as more suspicious of new missions. Officers are most likely to support new post-Cold War missions when they also believe there is both congressional and public support for them.
