Page "Egalitarianism" Paragraph 11

Military egalitarianism has been noted since ancient times, such as with Shakespeare's St. Crispin's Day Speech.

This occurs in spite of the distinctions military forces attempt to make between officers and enlisted men.

For example Major General Charles J. Dunlap, Jr. says that United States Air Force culture includes an egalitarianism bred from officers as warriors who work with small groups of enlisted airmen either as the service crew or onboard crew of their aircraft.
