"So come down with me to the shore, and what's more, I adore you," La Dispute lyrically sings, which seems to mirror some of the major works of Edgar Allen Poe perfectly. A celebrated poet and author, he led quite an interesting life and maintained some of the darker themes of his life in his works, ranging from the popular "The Tell Tale Heart" to lesser-known works such as "Alone". However, the true art found within his poems is how beautifully they are able to show some of his innermost…

Greater Responsibility My dad was a senior Non-commissioned Officer, and growing up, I could remember the jokes about Officers and the other branches of the military. By the time I arrived at Fort Huachuca in 2009, I had been in the U.S. Army for almost ten years and never really had an opportunity to work with Warrant Officers.

A familiar proverb asserts that “power corrupts” but could corruption also signify power?
