72:11.1 [[Graduates]] of the [[federal]] [[military]] schools may be commissioned as "guardians of [[civilization]]" in seven ranks, in [[accordance]] with [[ability]] and [[experience]], by the president of the ''National Council of Defense''. This [[council]] consists of twenty-five members, nominated by the highest [[parental]], [[educational]], and [[industrial]] [[tribunals]], [[confirmed]] by the [[federal]] supreme [[court]], and presided over ex officio by the chief of staff of [[co-ordinated]] [[military]] affairs. Such members serve until they are seventy years of age.
72:11.2 The [[courses]] pursued by such commissioned officers are four years in length and are invariably correlated with the mastery of some trade or [[profession]]. [[Military]] [[training]] is never given without this [[associated]] [[industrial]], [[scientific]], or [[professional]] schooling. When [[military]] [[training]] is finished, the [[individual]] has, during his four years' course, received one half of the [[education]] imparted in any of the special schools where the [[courses]] are likewise four years in length. In this way the [[creation]] of a [[professional]] military class is avoided by providing this [[opportunity]] for a large number of men to support themselves while securing the first half of a [[technical]] or [[professional]] [[training]].
72:11.3 [[Military]] [[service]] during peacetime is [[purely]] [[voluntary]], and the enlistments in all branches of the service are for four years, during which every man pursues some special line of [[study]] in addition to the mastery of [[military]] [[Technique|tactics]]. [[Training]] in [[music]] is one of the chief pursuits of the central military schools and of the twenty-five [[training]] camps [[distributed]] about the [[periphery]] of the [[continent]]. During periods of [[industrial]] slackness many thousands of unemployed are [[automatically]] utilized in upbuilding the military defenses of the [[continent]] on [[land]] and [[sea]] and in the [[air]].
72:11.4 Although these people [[maintain]] a [[powerful]] war [[establishment]] as a [[defense]] against [[invasion]] by the surrounding hostile peoples, it may be recorded to their credit that they have not in over one hundred years employed these [[military]] [[resources]] in an offensive war. They have become civilized to that point where they can vigorously defend [[civilization]] without yielding to the [[temptation]] to utilize their war [[powers]] in [[aggression]]. There have been no civil wars since the [[establishment]] of the united [[continental]] [[state]], but during the last two centuries these people have been called upon to wage nine fierce defensive [[conflicts]], three of which were against mighty [[confederations]] of world powers. Although this [[nation]] maintains adequate [[defense]] against attack by hostile [[neighbors]], it pays far more [[attention]] to the [[training]] of [[statesmen]], [[scientists]], and [[philosophers]].
72:11.5 When at [[peace]] with the world, all mobile [[defense]] [[mechanisms]] are quite fully employed in trade, [[commerce]], and [[recreation]]. When war is declared, the entire nation is mobilized. Throughout the period of hostilities [[military]] pay obtains in all [[industries]], and the chiefs of all military departments become members of the chief executive's cabinet.
