Abstract
The military has contributed in various ways to social change in America from colonial times to present. Indeed, the modern military exercises an enormous impact on American society. History shows that social change has occurred as a byproduct of the military's normal operations, efforts to improve military effectiveness, and "social engineering." A combination of political, social, and economic factors suggests that the nation's defense needs will continue to be linked with domestic causes in the years ahead.
