Women be allowed in Combat? Woman should be allowed in combat for many reasons. First of all allowing woman into combat situations would make our military more effective by putting talent into sections that were frowned upon before, it would help our forces become more modernized, putting women into combat situations would not break tradition because women have served in every war since the revolutionary war, and would put ability above gender. Allowing woman into combat…

In an attempt to increase their effectiveness and capabilities, the military has employed the use of unmanned ariel vehicles (UAV’s). Many types of UAV’s exist, from simple survilence drones to weaponized drones capable of firing missiles. These drones are commonly used in military operations for survelence and targeted hunting. The military should continue using drones because they provide an inexpensive oppurtunity to increase tactical superiority and keep our soldiers safe. One of the…

Being married to a member of the armed forces I have been able to experience some of the stress related issues that our service members go through. Much of this stress comes from superior officers. Orders are given to lower ranking members that they sometimes do not agree with. However, our military members are taught to take orders from superior officers no matter if they agree with the orders or not. One of our military foundations is to obey. Soldiers are taught from boot camp to obey with…

Historic Muslim judgments on Jihad in regards to armed struggle rely on five distinct principles sought to preserve order. These principles reside on the idea of: right intention, right authority, proportionality, just cause, and “soldiers fighting soldiers.” The Muslim presumption to war is that it be conducted in honor of the Lord, therefore; it is important that Muslim society maintain such societal norms in regard to armed struggle.

40 Rounds! This simple slogan was a charge that was unique to my basic training unit (Bravo Company 3-13th Infantry Battalion) and was used for any number of reasons. Whether it be showing one’s motivation, confirming an understanding of an assigned task, thanking a Drill Sergeant for answering a question, or sarcastically spouting the line to show your anger at your fellow soldier’s incompetency, this slogan was encouraged by our Drill Sergeants, both female and male. As can be seen by just…

policy analysts heralded FM 3-24 Counterinsurgency (COIN) as a welcome solution to the intractable problems confronting American soldiers in Iraq. The manual served an important purpose by providing a common approach to operational problems that US forces faced in Iraq at the time. Renamed Insurgencies and Countering Insurgencies, the 2014 update incorporated lessons from the manual’s use in both Iraq and Afghanistan, such as the inclusion of indirect methods of security cooperation with local…

At all times and in all countries, women are perceived as peace makers, while men are those who start wars or any conflicts. However, when the conflict occurs and men have to fight for their country or beliefs, women do not stand aside. Women’s role and contribution during World War II was neglected and marginalized by the society, government and historians for a long time. Although, most of their contribution still remains hidden or even forgotten, this paper will demonstrate how women could be…

Rise through Force: European Hegemony and the Military Revolution With the dawn of the second millennium (C.E.), the bulk of Europe existed as a relative backwater and there was little foreseeable evidence that this fragmented conglomerate of fiefdoms would eventually surge forth to control a better part of the known and unknown world. But surge forth it did, and by the twentieth-century the West , for better or worse, had come to dominate and influence societies around the globe. As the…

Child Soldier Imagine that you are a young boy or girl and instead of going straight home like your parents instructed you, you stayed out to play a game with some friends. During your activities you notice some strange armed men approaching. Not sure what to do you wait to see what they say. They quickly run up and grab you and your friends. Scared and clueless, they have blindfolded you and your friends, you sit in the back of the van they have put you in. They take you somewhere and the ride…
