Armed forces

On September 1st, 2016, Colin Kaepernick decided to kneel as the National Anthem was being played during the 49’ers regular season game. In that moment, he forgot what that very song stood for. He decided to ignore the thousands of men that have died in honor of that song. Every vote that has been cast in order to keep our freedom alive was dwindled into nothingness when this man refused to stand. Each man or woman that has furthered our freedom in a courageous fight for their rights had…

War, according to Pfaff and other sources. However, in securing this order in Europe there resulted an eventual “blitzkrieg” of American forces into Iraq during the Gulf War. The Gulf War was orchestrated not only as a result of this now fervent nationalism as a result of the Cold War, but also as a result of the Powell Doctrine of popular support, overwhelming force, focused objectives and rapid withdrawal. However, as Pfaff points out, this does not lead to a tradition in rapid withdrawal that…

Females can do the same jobs males do or maybe even better in some cases. When you think of the people fighting on the front lines in combat you think of males, because they 're normally on the army posters. Women can make a big difference in the armed forces and contribute as well as the men. Vernice Armour says, "Bottom line is if you can do the job, you should be out there doing it...man or a woman" (picture caption). Women were band from the military in 1994 but in 2013, Leon Panetta and…

The armed services consists of four main branches: the army, navy, marine corps, and the coast guard. These are all branches that help protect our country from harm. Unfortunately, these military force groups have the same problem as well as any other work force. You might say that it’s disorganized, or it may be that we have too much or too little in the force. It could be either of those issues at hand, but one of our main issues today is allowing homosexuals to join our military. Many…

I want you to picture in your head, without thinking too much, the first image that appears when you hear the word ‘soldier’. I feel confident enough to say that a very large majority, if not all of you, pictured a man. The iron man standing strong in uniform, proudly representing their country; that’s the picture that Hollywood so willingly displays. Through our televisions and our phones we are shown the depicted version of global military characteristics. Through films, including Saving…

the Armed Forces progressively since World War II. Deseret Storm was a starting point in realizing that women could be an asset, not a detriment, to demanding military positions. Still, any combat related job within each branch had a rule of no females. That all changed in December 2015 when the United States Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter stated that all roles in the military were now open to women. This allows women to try out and be a part of the elite positions within the Armed Forces, a…

We all know that an All Volunteer Force (AVF) has been the norm since President Richard Nixon inaugurated it in 1973. The AVF definitely proved to be the right decision and to this day we have the best military in the world. Our military will continue to get better, more professional, and more educated as the years pass by. What is incomprehensible is how we as Americans take the AVF for granted and do not educate or influence our youth to serve proudly in our country. While conscription is…

number of different outsiders in the principal many years of the twentieth century, he went through Ellis Island, moved in with relatives who had preceded him, and went to work at the main employment he could discover. After four years, when the armed force sent him a letter requesting him to report for obligation, Antonio went to war. Despite the fact that he was still a native of Italy, Antonio battled for the United States. Some a large portion of a million different outsiders from forty-six…

is overwhelming to absorb for myself, a previous female officer in the Army for almost three decades, but does well in debating the subject of women in combat and the recent change to allowing women to serve in specialized combat position in the Armed Forces. He is a…

Lately, the robots are used in almost every industry, doing jobs that are too dangerous or impossible for humans. However, the new technology is mainly used by the military, the most known example being drones that are used for espionage and even armed attacks against human beings. Drone aircrafts have had a huge impact on modern warfare, being able to provide surveillance and combat capabilities at low cost and without risk to the human operator. First, the drones have revolutionized the…
