The power words have is oftentimes underestimated and as a result the world people live in is drastically altered. Words have been used since the invention and implementation of language to stir and move people.

could have more and more money. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Spends about 18.7 billion dollars a year on space exploration. While that sounds like a large number, you must ask yourself if that cost is worth the advancement of mankind.

constantly talk to my Lts and senior NCOs about looking at the big picture. Sometimes we get a tasking or mission they feel does not make sense or seem to have no purpose. I have to always remind them to look at the “big picture” of this requirement before making any negative judgment.

The Power of Words In 2004, human rights were violated in the form of physical, psychological and sexual abuse, including torture, rape and homicide of prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
