ALFRED MCCOY offers a nuanced consideration of the role of military leadership in the present-day Philippines by tracking the careers of the Class of 1940 at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), which was modeled after the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He focuses on the role of male bonding in defining the experiences of members of this class, whose careers coincided with the last years of the American colonial regime, the Commonwealth government, the Japanese Occupation, and the turbulent years of the postwar period. His article shows that the discipline and style of the PMA were critical in fostering military professionalization and in imparting the doctrine of military subordination to civil authority. The author argues that class bonding acted as a counterweight to the politicization of the Philippine armed forces. Under Marcos, however, this apolitical tradition declined and produced a Reform Armed Forces Movement (RAM) led by the highly politicized class of 1971. Why military officers do not obey civil authorities, McCoy's study suggests is not the real question, but rather why they bother to obey at all.
