In Molly M. Ginty’s article “All Guts, No Glory”, she explores the issue of women serving in combat and the unfair reality that females have faced in the U.S. armed forces. In my opinion I strongly believe that women should be allowed to participate in combat. Many reasons why are if she signed up for this and has all the right training for it she should be allowed to go into war and fight for our country the same way men do. Women put their life at risk the same way males do getting shipped out…

A modern day hero isn’t fighting on the front lines, they are often over 6,000 miles away behind a computer screen (Cannon). Heroes have evolved from brash, brave fearless foot soldiers of the first world wars, too often people you will never see their face or name. What we have now is no loss of the brave, and brash, but a gain in secrecy throughout the war on terrorism. Achilles the most famous Greek hero, and Beowulf a brave, courageous Danish hero of old. Two pivotal heroes of ancient…

After exploring the themes and concepts of the texts we have studied in class, I have developed an understanding of the struggles and successes of other’s life experiences.

The only way you could communicate with each other is by telephone without seeing each other physically for months. She would most likely not be there the moments that are cherish the most such as birthdays and the first days…

the plans to erase gender restrictions for women joining the front line in combat the concerns are high. The main focus on women joining the combat unit should depend on their effective contribution to combat units. Most occupations in the armed forces are open equally to men and women; there are some jobs that are not physically suited for women. As people are already aware of the physical concerns of women to serve in combat alongside of men, there are no strong points to grant them this…

to the current debate of full inclusion of women into the U.S. Military infantry. The article starts by describing a change in the laws regarding women in combat signed January 24th 2013 by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. Panetta rescinded the then current order that prohibited women from holding a military occupational specialty in the combat arms field. This article states the author’s opinion that there is no justification for this change and backs up that opinion in…

Fencing is a sport that has been played for thousands of years. It was first found as a form of military then it became a sport in the 14/15 century. Way back they use actual sword and draw actual blood but now you’d use a foil which is a weapon that has a flat tip. On the tip it has red chalk on it so you’d know if you got hit. You’d also where a mask to cover your face, white uniform and fencing gloves. You use self defense, strategies to earn points and every time you touch the person with…

things, as the shuriken. As many don’t know yet, but the Shuriken has influenced many of the present day actions. This handheld weapon was unique and important at its time. In the past, samurais and ninjas had weapons that could be used in close combat only, such as swords. Samurais always carried katanas, wakizashi, and tachi. Ninjas carried a similar sword to the Katana known as the Ninjatō. The introduction of the Shuriken brought a unique way of fighting effectively with stealthiness and…

“Swords are a long-edged piece of forged metal used in civilizations throughout the world, they are used primarily as a cutting or thrusting weapon and occasionally for clubbing” (“Medieval Weapons & Armour”). “The word sword comes from the Old English sweord, from a Proto-Indo-European root *swer- "to wound, to cut"(“Medieval Weapons & Armour“).
