These criticisms suggest as (Kaufmann, 1974, p.297) puts it that “it does not follow from Nietzsche 's "vivisection" of slave morality that he identifies his own position with that of the masters” but rather that he focuses more on the…
Who I once admired, I helped fire, and I stood by my own personal values, and what I think is professional conduct. It was not for myself, but the wellbeing of others, and the betterment of everyone directly, and indirectly involved. It was not something I was happy about, or even proud of being apart of, but my unwillingness to allow anyone to abuse their power over another, I just cannot stand by, or watch. As a professional, we must be aware of how we conduct ourselves, and to whom we present…

This was illustrated when he was seeking to become emperor of Rome. Severus and his army moved to Rome after Julian was put to death and the Senate voted him emperor out of…

Mainly focusing on the technological side of things, Wang emphasizes on China’s weaknesses as the way of war advances beyond mere metal and…
thirteen to chief of staff of the Prussian Army, Clausewitz developed his thoughts of war based on a variety of military experience. Two of Clausewitz’s tenets seem to stand out as profound and useful, and remarkably still relevant to the modern planner. Primacy of policy helps a planner avoid a strategy policy mismatch by aligning political and military objectives, and the calculus of effort can determine what kind of war they will be fighting based on the value of the object in view. Both…

I am currently in my final semester at West Point and preparing to serve in the infantry in the in my country. My interest and fascination with history lead me…
The Korean Army is based on a hierarchy system dependent on when your draft date was. Newcomers are obliged to show utmost respect to the more experienced by doing whatever they are asked to do, even if it feels unjust. Many are beaten and wronged against but do not have a say until they rise to the same position of power over time. Some continue the system by showing the same aggressive behaviours and carrying out the same injustice they experienced to the new batch of draftees. In contrast,…
Urinalysis program. However, in 1976 until the early 1980s, drug urinalysis testing was discontinued (Obrien et al., 2012). The challenges were not over for the drug testing processes within the military service. In 1983, a commission reviewed the Army and Air Force drug testing procedures and found that the processes in place at that time had discharged over 10,000 service members for use of illegal drugs and did not meet the forensic standards that were in place at that time. The…
