Resumen
GIRALDO-CHAPARRO, Fabián Ricardo. The Military Forces as an instrument of the socialization of the State. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.28, pp.939-970. Epub 11-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.517.
Most states continue building their Armed Forces with the premise of providing security for their citizens. This current process has motivated discussions from favorable and opposing positions. It has become a source of considerable disagreement between political parties, ethnic and religious groups, and even among generations. Because the Armed Forces are associated mainly with the use of force to obtain peace, the training of future military officers in the use of lethal means creates a contradiction in the eyes of many societies. This article demonstrates that the Armed Forces can be seen as a contributor to the socialization of any society. Moreover, they can be perceived as a source of moral strength and the foundation for the development of a nation on different levels.
