Book excerpt: This report presents findings from three nationally representative samples: (1) civilians surveyed in early 1973; (2) Navy personnel surveyed in late 1972 and early 1973; (3) Army personnel surveyed in late 1974 and early 1975. Each of the surveys used the same basic 16-page self-administered questionnaire. The survey findings reveal differences in values and attitudes about the military among different civilian and military subgroups. In particular, career-oriented military men differed substantially from their civilian counter-parts; these career men showed more positive views of military job opportunities and leadership, support for higher levels of military spending and influence, a somewhat 'hawkish' view of foreign policy, and a high value placed on 'obeying orders without question.'
