The Discourse Trap and the Us Military

"A 'discourse trap' is a phenomenon seen worldwide in which the discourses and associated terminology devised for political or military reasons can entrap policymakers by motivating or contraining their actions. Beginning with the discourse of 'counter-terrorism' that occurred post-9/11, this book examines the language employed inside the US Defense Department during the period between 2001 and 2012. Michaels demonstrates how during the course of conflict, the politics of terminology can constitute an important battlefield in is own right"--P. [4] of cover.
