Informative Essay: Kylie Jenner's Place In The Military

Improved Essays
Everybody claims to support our troops yet nobody really pays attention to what they have to go through to protect not only our country but foreign ones as well. We are too focused on what the famous Kylie Jenner has done to her face or what surgeries Caitlyn Jenner has done to his/her body, to even think about the everyday soldier being deployed out of the country having to leave his or her family for months at a time. Just earlier this month, over a thousand National Guard members were deployed to Kuwait and nobody knows about that, but they do know how Kylie Jenner bought her best friend a car for her birthday. Personally I don 't think we pay as much importance as we should to our military and it shouldn 't be that way. From the outside, the Army National Guard recruiters office doesn 't look too intimidating, it looks like a normal building, brick walls, a few palm trees surrounding it, and a flag flying with the wind. It still however, gives you a kind of nervous feeling as if you were there to sign your life away to your country even though you aren 't. Maybe it isn 't the characteristics of the building, but the knowing how strong the people going in and out are, knowing what they have to go through, …show more content…
Every soldier has a reason for joining a branch; to protect our country which is what it is intentionally for, to avoid school, to continue a legacy, or even because it may help them with their desired career or financially assist them through school. Even if someones intention for joining is to avoid school, if they ever want to move up in the military it is necessary to go to school. To become a Sergeant it is actually a requirement to have a Masters degree, which most of the ignorant people making these claims probably don 't

    As Debs quotes "They have always taught and trained you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war" meaning the government has taught one as a child to serve your country. As you go along in school one develops this mentality that as a citizen of this country one has to fulfill duties that will help the country like fighting in wars. For example, since the start of school a person is required to pledge allegiance to the flag. Students would get in trouble if they were to refuse pledging to the flag. Similar to the draft if one were to resist it, then they would not be for filling their so call duties as a citizen of the United States.…

    As a result of strict rules set by the military it leaves a majority of the populace off the list of joining the military to begin with. The article asserts,“Of the starting 21m, around 9.5m would fail a rudimentary academic qualification, either because they had dropped out of high school or, typically, because most young Americans cannot do tricky sums without a calculator. Of the remainder, 7m would be disqualified because they are too fat, or have a criminal record, or tattoos on their hands or faces,” the article claims this as fact and this makes it seem as though it is the populaces fault that no one can join and not the strict rules of the…

    Soldiers deserve honor and recognition for defending the freedom of the United States. Because they risk their lives so other Americans do not have to, we rightfully thank soldiers for their service. People generally regard honoring soldiers as respectful, and demonstrates that Americans value the soldier’s sacrifices for our country. However, for some people commending soldiers often includes more about their own personal gain and self-esteem than about respecting the soldier. Some people use honoring soldiers as an excuse to boost popularity, increase personal satisfaction, and worst of all, to make money.…

    It has been said that America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but really America isn’t free if young men and women have to serve a mandatory service in the military. If a young man or woman wants to fight and die for our country on the front lines of war, that it should be their decision to make. First reason, young people in this country have so much more to live for. It is a proven fact that 17.68% of the young people that go into war die. It is also a proven fact that 48.20% are casualties.…

    In 1865 Lincoln one of the best presidents ever lived gave a speech during the civil war. He stood and said “To care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.” Until forever we will keep Lincoln's promise to our veterans and their families because the world cares too much about the people who fight in the war. We care for veterans when they get hurt. We give them a leg, an arm, anything for them.…

    Everyday soldiers get deployed, leaving the peaceful life. They don't know that when they get back everything will change. They don't know that they won't be taken care of because of their sacrifices. They don't know that they will come back from the war empty handed, with no money, with no career, and with depression. And worst of all they don't know that they will likely end up in the streets with no legitimate home.…

    When you think of the media you probably think about the recent election, what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just recently did, or probably what happened that night in sports. Do you ever really think about the military in the media though? It’s a very scary thought to see or hear about what our military does for us. Nobody really wants to hear about that stuff unless it’s really important like the Osama Bin Laden death, or how many kills Chris Kyle had. We respect these men and women that fight for us over-seas but is it enough to tell us about in the media today?…

    In a world filled with soldiers who lay their life on the line so we can sleep safely at night, police officers who chase down criminals, and fire fighters who run in burning buildings, we aspire to be Kardashians. The astronomical pay difference, striving to become a celebrity, and the lack of memorial services that our heroes receive is incredibly disappointing. As a citizen, I’m worried if our nation does not start respecting the substantial sacrifices our heroes make every day. The work that our heroes do is not for the money or the publicity, it is because they love what they do and they care about our country.…
