    Has anyone written a good historically grounded account of how the State Department has become more hawkish than the Pentagon? It didn't used to be this way and I'm curious when the shift happened.

        Post-Vietnam is probably a good guess

        I think it’s gone back and forth. Madeline Albright was more hawkish than William Cohen while Donald Rumsfeld was more hawkish than Colin Powell.

        The Pentagon resisted involvement in Central America under Reagan. The State Department was considerably more hawkish in the early 80's that the Joint Chiefs were.

        Not sure if anyone has. But you are spot on. Time for you to wrote a long article and convert it into a book?

        Not really what you're looking for, but I remember articles like this starting mid 2000s The State Department, Not the Pentagon, Should Lead America's Public Diplomacy Efforts http://brook.gs/2bHbUc1  via @BrookingsInst

        Likely with George Shultz who'd make obscene gestures, instead of speaking coherently. His verbal militancy was also related to his relative lack of influence compared to Weinberg's DoD.

        Shuttering of USIA/USIS and then running straight into the WoT? People who didn’t want to defend Abu Ghraib and Gitmo didn’t have much to stick around for.
