Fr. Emil Kapaun, a Catholic priest and U.S. Chaplain in the Korean War said “when I was ordained, I was determined to ‘spend myself ’ for God. I was determined to do that cheerfully, no matter in what circumstances I would be placed or how hard a life I would be asked to lead.” Fr. Kapaun, through his words, demonstrates his understanding of how difficult the role of Chaplain would be in the coming decades of war.

torture during interrogations, imposed draconian control measures on the Arab population, and forcibly relocated hostile populations—a tactic which the British also used to great effect in Malaya and Kenya. Beyond forced relocation, Britain’s post-1945 counterinsurgency campaigns involved a heavy dose of repression designed to establish security.

The normal theory of civil-military relations contends that politicians should declare a military operation’s objective and then step aside leaving the business of war to the military.

According to Cohen civilian intervention at both strategic and operational…

However, beginning with British involvement in the Crimean War it was realized that for soldiers to be most effective they needed to have all of their gear readily available to them. It is also hypothesized that increase in relative average size of humans allowed for a more comfortable…

because his duty to the military is to renew the minds of the battle-scarred soldiers to be newly deployed onto the battlefield once again. Once Dr. Rivers decides for himself that the war isn’t worth fighting anymore, he no longer holds his duty to the army as important as it once was to him. The augmenting stress of this realization gravely bothers the psychologist throughout the rest of the…

One hundred years can make all the difference in society, considering that this is essentially two generations; two generations of innovation, two generations of progress, two generations of revised understanding. The extent of change that can occur in this block of time is hard to capture in a few sentences, however, it is best understood by examining what are two events similar in nature, though vastly different when looking at the details.
