What kind of community does Leopold refer to? He might mean a moral community, for example, a group of individuals who respect each other’s right to treatment as equals or who regard one another’s interests with equal respect and concern. He may also mean an ecological community, that is, a community tied together by biological relationships in interdependent webs or systems of life.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that without the reciprocal imposition of risk, the U.S. military must become policing, which requires different rules of engagement and different institutions to control the decision to use force.
Abstract: Riskless warfare, which increasingly characterizes U.S. military policy, pushes up against the limits of the traditional moral justification of combat. Without the reciprocal imposition of risk, warfare must become policing, which requires different rules of engagement and different institutions to control the decision to use force.
