Ethics for the weekends: The case of reservists

Journal of Military Ethics 11 (4):333-352 (2012)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This essay argues that a military's reserve force occupies an important and overlooked ethical position. It shows that, among other things, reservists pose special challenges to virtue ethics accounts of military personnel, an understanding of the relationship between a government and its military, as well as standard questions about jus in bello
