used to be fought for outcomes like treasure, resources, territory, and to "save Democracy". Today the war-making itself is the treasure. Ask FedEx, who has a no-bid multi-million dollar contract to fly pallet loads of bottled water from Seattle to Baghdad, or Lockheed-Martin, who constructs incredibly complex multi-million dollar robots (Hellfire missiles)... destroyed the first time they’re used. This is not von Clausewitz territory…well, somewhat it is, and the strategy makes 100% sense given…

The Gulf War of 1991, and the Iraq War of 2003 are two completely separate wars. Different objectives, and situations comprised these conflicts. Both conflicts had different goals. During the Gulf War of 1991, President Bush gave clear indication that the objective of Coalition forces was to evict Iraqi troops from Kuwait. No regime change was sought by the UN, NATO, or other partners. While rebellion in Iraq was encouraged (Text Pgs. 271-272), the Allies took no part in that fight. The war in…

They felt that these activities would relieve psychiatric symptoms and help the patients return to a sense of normalcy. It is believed that the ancient Egyptians had such a forward way of thinking because they had more knowledge of the human…

The Mongols moved several times a year in search of food and water for their herds. The Mongol lifestyle and continual migrations prevented them from transporting reserves of food and supplies. This made them extremely vulnerable to the environment. During the 13th century is when the Mongol Conquests took place. This resulted in the extensive Mongol…

left our house the moment she heard the loud sound of the explosion and made her way over to my primary school. She picked me up and bolted out of the building leaving behind my backpack and books. I also wasn’t allowed to go outside on my own in Baghdad, which led to me learning how to ride a bike in my sisters bedroom. I am partially convinced that Iraqis are delirious because the reaction to hearing a bomb during class shouldn’t be ‘oh that one was loud it must have been close. Ok, back to…

Its 1218 and growing up to have no fear, but war and violence is key to the nomadic empire I am a part of. Overlooking my camp, I have spent fifteen years preparing myself to become one of the warriors of a huge army full of fearsome fighters known in Central/Northern Asia, for the rest of my life.
