So I felt this was definitely a right step in that direction. The RA position is quite similar to the Team Leader position. I was already an Assistant Team Leader for my teams, so I received some…

Gun control is the set of laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. Most countries have a restrictive firearm guiding policy, with only a few legislations being categorized as permissive.

set not only to protect civilians but also to protect soldiers. Killing or even injuring civilians can cause hatred and distrust towards soldiers and puts them in danger being near civilians. The rules of engagement (R.O.E) are beneficial to US soldiers. The R.O.E states that armed civilians will be engaged only in self defense. Many people believe the R.O.E is detrimental for U.S soldiers and do not think about the relationship it builds between the soldiers and the civilians. Most people do…

This shows that even though they are all students at a similar campus, they have their own views, attitudes and opinions towards things. To start off with, one reason that shows that military students are different from civilian students is that we don’t complain over simple things. For example during my walks around campus I hear civilian students complaining…

Over the past week, I have learned how heavily war impacts the lives of civilians. I always had the notion that war was fought in battle fields, and far away from society. However, after reading Redeployment, I learned that I was very far off. In Iraq, neighborhoods and communities were destroyed as a result of the war. People’s homes were used as a battleground, and their society was destroyed. As a civilian, it was nearly impossible to continue with everyday life. Working, sleeping, running…
