The book delves into the Principle of Alternative Possibilities (PAP), which posits that moral responsibility hinges on the ability to have acted differently. It explores the nuances between justificatory and exculpatory excuses when someone fails to fulfill a promise, using relatable scenarios to illustrate how these excuses impact moral blame. Justificatory excuses demonstrate moral justification for actions, while exculpatory excuses reveal a lack of moral responsibility due to circumstances beyond one's control. This distinction is crucial for understanding moral accountability.

As increasingly contentious politics in the United States raise concerns over the "politicization" of traditionally non-partisan institutions, many have turned their attention to how the American military has been--and will be--affected by this trend. Since a low point following the end of the Vietnam War, the U.S. military has experienced a dramatic reversal of public opinion, becoming one of the most trusted institutions in American society. However, this trend is more complicated than it just as individuals have become fonder of their military, they have also become increasingly polarized from one another along partisan lines. The result is a new political environment rife with challenges to traditional civil-military norms.In a data-driven analysis of contemporary American attitudes, Dangerous Instrument examines the current state of U.S. civil-military affairs, probing how the public views their military and the effect that partisan tribalism may have on that relationship in the future. Michael A. Robinson studies the sources and potential limits of American trust in the armed services, focusing on the interplay of the public, political parties, media outlets, and the military itself on the prospect of politicization and its associated challenges. As democratic institutions face persistent pressure worldwide, Dangerous Instrument provides important insights into the contemporary arc of American civil-military affairs and delivers recommendations on ways to preserve a non-partisan military.
