Militær inkompetence på hitlisten
Fredsbilleder...
Den mest eftersøgte antikvariske bog i 2014 var "Den militære inkompetences psykologi" af Jonathan Cape fra 1975:
"Interestingly, the #1 spot on this year's list went to On the Psychology of Military Incompetence by Norman F. Dixon. The book examines in deep detail the power dynamics and reasoning behind blunders in military leadership and strategy from The Boer War, WWI, The Crimean War and more. From a perspective of analyzing personalities and intellectual abilities behind positions of power, even considering factors such as character traits prized and abhorred in the military, On the Psychology of Military Incompetence asks very tough questions and even offers some answers.
No doubt the book has ruffled its share of feathers since its original publication. The book's overlying, scathing assertion is that by its very own structure, the military is assuring its own continued failure by the types of people it attracts, promotes and makes leaders:
Such personality traits - fear of failure, need for approval, orderliness, excessive obedience and underlying hostility etc. - fit in so well with the requirements of military organizations, that a proportion of these people may rise to high rank. At the top, however, those features of their psychological make-up which assured their ascent may prove sadly incapacitating. Over-control, rigidity, having a 'closed-mind', do not lend themselves to the task of fathoming, let alone dealing with, the great uncertainities of war."

>  Militær kampagne mod arbejdsrelateret vold...
Det danske forsvar har underligt nok regler imod ”arbejdsrelateret vold”, selv om netop dette vel er militærets håndværk. Sådanne krænkelser omfatter nemlig ”alle former for angreb mod kroppen, som fx overfald, slag, knivstik og kast med genstande”, hvilket soldater jo faktisk oplæres i at udføre.
Vejledningen slår bredt fast, at ”på Forsvarsministeriets område er alle former for vold uacceptabelt”. Et godt arbejdsmiljø er vigtigt, men det fremgår ingen steder om udsendte soldater i fjendeland måske er undtaget fra dette fremragende fredskrav.
