In recent months, there have been repeated calls for German servicemen and women to participate in social dialogue. In this anthology, 16 young officers and officer candidates in the combat forces respond to this call. They take their chance to participate in the public discourse as uniformed citizens and to provide a broad readership with an insight into their world of thought. They do this on their own initiative and voluntarily - without orders, narrow guidelines or any other kind of pressure. As can be seen from reading their texts, their views and attitudes remain thoroughly diverse and controversial. They are courageous, challenging, characterised by great idealism and show the great diversity of issues affecting junior officers. In any case, they are a remarkable portfolio of the future leaders of our Bundeswehr.
