THE MILITARY CULTURE AND THE STRATEGIC ART

Summary/Abstract: The military profession seems pragmatic and, within this framework, it is free of creative artistic and theoretic complexities, geopolitics paradigms and cultural vocations. There is still, for some of us, a very simple logic, even simplistic, according to which the soldier must only carry out orders. For a soldier, other individuals must think. Or, in any case, the soldier’s thinking should limit utmost to the strategic domain, specifically, to the ways and methods to put into practice a political decision related to a war or any other type of military involvement. These methods (the art and science), to put into practice a political decision, represent the most current definition given to strategy.
