In August of 2008 the late Christopher Hitchens wrote an essay published in Vanity Fair that was titled “Believe Me, It’s Torture”. This essay was unique because of its strange pairing of content and audience. Christopher Hitchens had decided to put a fairly controversial political essay in a magazine that targets women, covers fashion and pop culture, and typically steers away from politics entirely. This shows that his intended audience was the average adult woman in america. Christopher…

United States of America, land of the free. Our entire country’s history is based on people who fought for what they believed in, who fought for freedom. One of the main reasons that we won the revolutionary war, is because everyone in what was to become the United States of America, fought as one, everyone took their share, and fought together. Taking part in the military teaches individuals how to stand up for not only themselves but also for others and what they believe in. It also helps to…

the higher the levels of compliance. The reason behind why soldiers fight will greatly determine their passion to achieve victory. Everyone fights for protection of their friends and family. However what the soldiers contract for changes from one state to another. There may be events that inspire soldiers to enlist, such as 9/11 in America. Voluntary enlistment…

The reason why the squadron is, in General Goldfein’s words “the beating heart of the United States Air Force,” is simply because much like the heart without it the life blood would not be able to pump in order for the body to function as needed. Now the life blood of the Air Force is our ability to Fly, Fight, and Win, but that is the big Air Force answer. The life blood of the squadron is morale, and bad morale is like leukemia. Firsthand experience has shown what good morale can do in places…

Did you know a military soldiers can get paid up to 1,531.50$ to 19,762.50$ a month; in today’s society that isn’t that much. Our military deserves better pay, treatment, and equipment. After all they protect and fight for us and our country. The least you could do is say “Thank you for your service,” but most people don’t even do that. Our military deserves more and you know it! Military soldiers deserve better payment for what they do like risk their lives and do things not a regular person…

process of trying to solve resolved an intractable issue that it might not be resolved by communication or negotiation techniques because they involve different conflicting values and beliefs (Cahn, D., &. Abigail, R. A, 2014, p. 297). Is the United States the world police? In general, when discussing politics in the office it’ll often cause a conflict because everyone has a different view…

Every day there are thousands of men and women serving our country in the armed services. They are someone’s brother, sister, father, mother, aunt, uncle, son or daughter. They spend many months and sometimes years in a foreign country far away from the comforts of their home, some without family or friends to thank them for the sacrifices they make daily. Since the age of four when I saw the cover of Time Magazine featuring wounded soldiers, I have desired to do something to say “thank you” to…

Defending the United States of America is the greatest honor any person could ever have. Not everyone is able to join the military due to medical issues, education levels, credit problems, or even criminal backgrounds or other issues. Living the military life style is a unique and demanding way of living; even though it can be quite fun and eventful at the same time. There are many changes that every Soldier and their families go through during the course of the military. Whether you are a…

significant impact on the mental health of military members. United States military mental health professionals have attempted to bring the occurrences mental health disorders under control while at the same time maintaining a fit and ready fighting force. These attempts at minimizing the impact of physiological disorders include counseling, screenings and early intervention (Pols and Oak, 2007). Despite the collective actions of the Unites States military and the Veterans Health Administration…

Is it okay that the “lowest ranking soldiers in the U.S. military earn $8.86 an hour, while some fast food workers have been demanding $15 an hour to flip burgers” (Straub, 2014)? The average American makes $55,000.00, even though the most “a soldier can make in general is $35,000.00” (Army, 2014). The people who protect the country are making less than the people they are protecting. Is that right? Men and women risking their lives to protect those who pay them barely anything. If anything…
