Andrew Tilghman is a reporter for the pentagon and has been with Military Times since May 2009. His writing is focused around the European Nations and their military involvement worldwide as well as American military interventions. His bias is nor Russian, nor Ukrainian. Oriana Pawlyk is an American-Ukrainian reporter who formerly worked for Nat Press. She focuses on reporting on legal and political issues in near core and periphery countries as well as major military concerns. Her pro-Ukraine biases is vaguely evident in this article and can be seen through her use of loaded words and facts influencing readers to feel sorry for Ukraine. She chooses to focus on the involvement of the Russian military troops in Ukraine and often points out how they are "suffocating" the nation. The entirety of the article is presented in a way to appeal to American citizens interested in military conflict in which America plays the helping hand. Both authors pertain to an evident pro-American bias however, this evident through literal quotes including “ The Russian military is not the equal of the U.S.

    From the establishment of the United States, the country has been shaped by the ache of war, which was a united fight; once the United States was in war, the entire country itself found itself in that war. From the time of Thomas Jefferson, the stance of war and soldiers were unparalleled to the ideology of the military circa 20th century. In Rachel Maddow’s, Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power, there is a shift of power in the military, creating a perpetual spending and power for the military, mostly under the administration of Ronald Reagan. Maddow uses factual information, personal dialogue between officials within the military in the under the staff of the White House, and stories of popular actors during the time of escalation…

War has evolved from a last resort into an opportunity for America to prove its superiority against other countries, and to instill fear within the nation. In short, war is a grandiose weapon. In the novel, The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War, Andrew J. Bacevich discusses the relationship that has existed and continues to exist between America and war. Although Bacevich is able to pinpoint a plethora of explanations as to how militarism has evolved into what it is now, he does not present a clear thesis.…

    St. John’s Military School vs St. Edward’s School Although St. John’s Military School and St. Edward’s Catholic School are both private schools and have sports, at St. John’s we wore ACUs and were split up into companies. While St. Edward’s (St. Ed’s) we wore a nice polo with a nice pair of dress pants and every grade was split in half, and then separated. At St. John’s they have a very weird “welcoming” program, but St. Ed’s you just follow the person that is in your class.…

    Jayson: Article Analysis

    Jayson’s article for usatoday.com is entitled “Who’s feeling stressed? Young adults, new survey shows.” In this article, Jayson details a variety of reasons cited by millenials for why they feel stressed by their current living circumstances. These reasons, of course, are primarily economic. And the effects of economic struggle for millenials, particularly those in their post-college years, are dovetailed by still other psychological effects (e.g. extreme anxiety or depression), stemming from the socio-economic circumstances in which they find themselves; where they had been promised a career and stability for all their hard work in school but find no employment in a broken economy; where they feel tremendous pressure to succeed and ‘make…

    I initially took this course solely to fill my History requirement. However, after sitting in our first class last week, I learned things that I never knew. Maybe, because I am clueless on Military History or I have just never learned anything about it, especially history dating back to 1945. The things we learned, atomic bombing, demobilization, and Servicemen’s Readjustment Act are all things that everyone should know and I am thankful that I know these things now. I hope to accomplish what I accomplished last class, which is learning important information that we help me understand the history of our country’s military.…

As a news reporter relied on american troops for his or her most vital sources the soldier was depicted as a…

    Media Bias In The Military

    • 9 Pages

    The media serves as a conduit between the military and the American public. While it is a critical subset of the population, the military represents only roughly 1 percent of the entire U.S. population, which creates a potential contextual gap between the military and civilians. Many civilians today do not know anyone who serves and may feel disconnected because they do not understand the military’s purpose, activities and meaning in their own lives. For them, the media offers their only exposure to military operations. Therefore, the military must communicate to the public via media and reach civilians in order to maintain their confidence and support.…

    Cadet’s and my Adventure Within Army Cadets and Cadets in general has played a giant role in my entire life. To start from the beginning, I used to go to Navy League, which is also a Cadet program but for ages 9-12. I started at age 9 and left at age 12 where then I chose to join Army Cadets which I think was probably the best choice i've probably made in my entire life ( no exageration needed to be included). Now since this is supposed to be just about Army Cadets, i should not talk about Navy League, but how in the world will i explain my first year in Army Cadets without including Navy league so let's start.…

    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?…

    The Army is no different and even more so due to the great amount of danger that the missions that its membership undertakes. The risks associated with the Army’s operations, must be eased with the loyalty and trust shared through each rank of the membership. The membership of this institute, the largest employer in the country, must know for which it stands. Brigade General Bryan T. Roberts publicly warned his troops at Fort Jackson, S.C., last spring that he and the Army had…
