 Professionalism and the Canadian Military   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Man advances within the structure of his chosen society, but the use of new tools has little impact on that basic structure.
Sir Robert Aytoun (1570-1638) once wrote an essay to an inconstant mistress wherein he stated, "Thou art not what thou wast before, what reason I should be the same?" In this passage he was probably referring to tactics as applied to the art of love and not to his professional strategy as a poet.
Similarly, the roles that modern states expect their military people to perform may affect the application of the military art but should not alter the basic education requirements of the professional officer per se.
