Current scientific and scholarly discourse on war, which represents the legitimate knowledge and theory on war today, has been narrowed to the topics and issues related to war doctrine and technology of war. It has become reserved for the privileged ?green collars?, highly skilled professionals and officers inside the military structure, which act in cooperation with the political and economic elites, forming the triumvirate of power in contemporary world. The opportunities for civil critique of military politics and strategies of wars have been decreased enormously, in spite of the fact that contemporary wars have spread deeply into the civil sector of society. By looking into the social context and political background of the knowledge reserved for the military experts, we can develop insights into the process of the ideological framing of wars today, marked by naturalization and purposeful interpretations of wars, as if they are fought in the name of democratization of global world. At the same time, the image of the importance of human factor in war has been decreased, as much as responsibility for causalities. Citizens have been pacified for the silent acceptance of military politics promoted in their countries. Diskurs koji se danas smatra strucnim i naucnim razmatranjem o ratu - legitimnim znanjem o ratu, naukom i teorijom o ratu - suzio se na ratnu vestinu i tehnologiju ratovanja, postavsi duznost i privilegija ?zelenih okovratnika?, oblast rezervisana za poseban vojno-tehnokratski, visoko strucni, profesionalni i komandujuci sloj unutar drustva, koji deluje zajedno sa politickim i ekonomskim elitama, tvoreci spregu moci koju Mills naziva triumviratom savremenog kapitalistickog drustva. Mogucnost javnog prodora i civilne kritike vojne politike i strategije vodjenja rata danas je svedena na minimum, mada se ratovi sve vise prosiruju na sektor civilnog drustva. Proucavanje drustvenog konteksta i politicke pozadine naizgled usko strucnih vojnih razmatranja koja cine polje specijalnog znanja namenjenog ?epoletama?, pruza nam uvide u to kako se ideoloski uokviruje i naturalizuje predstava o potrebi vodjenja rata danas u funkciji ?demokratizacije? sveta i menja slika o mestu i ulozi coveka u njemu, kako opada odgovornost za civilne zrtve u ratu i kako se gradjani pacifikuju za lojalno prihvatanje ratova koji se vode u ime njihovih drzava.
