The Paradox of Riskless Warfare

Abstract

Riskless warfare, which increasingly characterizes U.S. military policy, pushes up against the limits of the traditional moral justification of combat. Without the reciprocal imposition of risk, warfare must become policing, which requires different rules of engagement and different institutions to control the decision to use force.
