Asymmetric warfare

The War to End all Wars, the War of Nations, the War to Make the World Safe for Democracy, are all names for the First World War. Trench Warfare with troops running over No Man’s Land with their rifles and bayonets attempting to conquer the enemy’s trench. The soldiers’ brothers in arms dying around them amongst the gunfire and hanging up in the barbwire as they fight for their countries. Whistles blow signifying a retreat or an attack. In the name of their countries, soldiers sleep in the wet,…

The final book in Butler’s Lilith’s Brood series is Imago, a word which initially brought to my mind imago dei. However, a more interesting connection might be in the biological definition of “imago”. In this framework, “imago” refers to “an insect in its final, adult, sexually mature, and typically winged state” ; the imago stage is the final one before metamorphosis is complete. I wonder if Butler had this idea in mind when naming the last book in her trilogy; she certainly engages many…

The concept or theory that has been the most informative and meaningful to me in helping me have a better understanding of ethics and humans rights in global politics is the Categorical Imperative. The Categorical Imperative states that “people should be treated as ends, never a means to an end” (Amstutz 74). Meaning that if intended result is moral, then the process in achieving that result should also be moral. I’m not a user of people and I wouldn’t myself use people as tools in order for a…

Tiger I Officially designated as the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger, the Panzer VI was a German heavy tank deployed in 1942 during World War II. Eventually nicknamed the “Tiger”, and eventually Tiger I once the Tiger II reached production, the design of the Tiger I tank epitomized the German concept of a heavy tank. A tank that provided ultimate excellence in design and combined lethality with the best protection regardless of the cost. While an outstanding design, the Tiger I was over-engineered…

The legacy of the Chemical Corps is broad and full of many stories of how it played a part in numerous wars such as World War 1, Korean War and etc. These moments in history are the foundation of the corps which makes up the bare essentials of what we live and train by today. Even though with our profound history very few know of it and understand our capabilities. One must first understand that we were created in order to protect and serve against chemicals that not only harm us but as well…

North Korea, the country whose leader is now referred to as “Rocket Man” has held a oppressive regime for more than seventy years, and now thinks that it can threaten the UN and its members. The country is and has been threatening the United States with not only ballistic missile but now they also threaten with Hydrogen bombs (Winsor). US government officials claim that they have tried to negotiate with North Korea, but the foreign officials refuse to listen (Winsor). While President Trump’s…

create an exhibit on trench warfare because trench warfare changed the way soldiers came home from war, and brought about many new technologies for future wars. The first half of the exhibit provides background information on the context of trench warfare in World War I. I wanted to provide the audience with a perspective with which to view the rest of the exhibit. I then followed this background information with an explanation of the sub theme of strategy of trench warfare. This information…

Marburg is an infectious virus that hinders the lives of many people, often occurring in the most rural regions of Africa (35). The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and “Stalking a Killer” by David Quammen both explain Marburg’s severity, among the other filoviruses, and the proper precautions that occurs when handling this agent. “Stalking a Killer” is an article that touches on Marburg and the different types of Ebola; it tells short accounts of infected victims. The Hot Zone is a study about the…

Hanford sits on a site in Southwestern Washington that is approximately 586- square miles of desert. Hanford began in 1943 building nuclear reactor plants to produce plutonium for the bomb that would end World War II. In the mid 1800’s according to the Hanford’s history site, the War Department decided to locate the Manhattan Project to this part of Washington and kept the work of developing the atomic weapons secret. So, all residents of Hanford and White Bluff were told to leave, given a…
