During the Victorian Era, classification of individuals was based on ethnography and physical appearance. If you were not perceived as being a European, then you belong to the so-called “other” group which mostly consisted of native people or people of colour. The concept of othering emerged, arguably, when Europeans came into direct contact with Indigenous people of North America. The visible difference in appearance and dialogue led to perceiving natives as being different. The language around…

In late 2009, I was part of a Task Force (TF) whose mission was to capture or kill enemy leadership, or High Value Targets (HVTs) In Order To (IOT) facilitate COIN operations in whatever Area of Operations (AO) needed the TF’s capability. Intelligence led us to doing such a mission to Capture/Kill a HVT in Afghanistan in late 2009. The enemy in this AO, at this time, hammered the FOB that we staged out of with indirect fire and rockets multiple times a day. They also inflicted casualties on…

Due to the fact that these children are forced to be soldiers and victims of pain, war, death, and suffering, they deserve amnesty, or legal forgiveness. Some people may say that child soldiers are perpetrators, and that they do not deserve amnesty, but these…

Sometimes, your worst enemy- the cause of your own defeat, can be yourself. When someone has a reputation for being a jerk, those same actions will come back to bite you, perhaps worse than the previous problems that they created, or even kill them.
