Smoking makes that impossible. Likewise, the American taxpayer has a justifiable interest in reducing the costs of fielding a military by eliminating unnecessary costs. Smoking invariably adds to the already substantial costs of providing medical care to armed services personnel, both during their active service as well as throughout their lives afterwards to the extent they rely on veteran's services for medical care.
Military personnel already understand that the privilege and benefits associated with military service entail various restrictions on rights enjoyed by civilians. In this case, military justice must catch up to the manner in which civilian society has already incorporated the understanding of the risks of smoking into American life.

While careful not to sound tolerant of sex crimes or harassment, critics declare that placing young men and women together during the first weeks of training, and particularly placing seemingly all-powerful male drill sergeants in charge of young female recruits, is simply a recipe for trouble (Berg pp). Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, a policy institute that studies defense issues, states, "Sexuality is a powerful force that
Military Education SAMS MONOGRAPH PROSPECTUS FIELD OF STUDY The field of study will be a combination of history and operational art. The proposed topic is professional military education at the field-grade level during periods of peace. The training and actions after Armistice and after World War II will serve as case studies to help understand the topic at a deeper level.

Soldiers can for example be exposed to courses on political science, which is of great importance in today's environment. Arts such as languages in countries where soldiers are expected to travel can also form an important part of such a curriculum.
