Quote from Janowitz

This is one of the aspects of military studies that I have been fascinated by.

"[T]he military also serves as an agent of social change. At a minimum, this implies that the army becomes a device for developing a sense of identity -- a social psychological element of national unity -- which is especially crucial for a nation which has suffered because of colonialism and which is struggling to incorporate diverse ethnic and tribal groups." (Morris Janowitz, "The Military in the Political Development of New Nations, An Essay in Comparative Analysis," The University of Chicago Press, 1964, p.80)
