These men, long deemed targets for bloodhounds, now fought in the same uniforms and under the same banner as the sons, husbands, and fathers who had enlisted from Iowa’s farms and towns, yet in their deployment of bloodhounds the Confederate army refused to acknowledge the change. Colonel Thomas Wentsworth Higginson, the white commander of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers, United States army’s first…

Well, let us start off when I first meet you. Well, it was when we went to a pool function at Camp Pendleton for a graduation. You might not recall what…

The Civil Rights Movement had achieved several major goals in the early 1960’s under leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Ella Baker, and Phillip Randolph, just to name a few. Their methods of non-violent protest demonstrations and litigation led to desegregation in schools and in public transportation. Despite these successes, African Americans soon realized that these nonviolent boycotts and litigation processes did little to alter their daily lives and racial violence still ensued. Between…

Being an INFJ female leader in the military goes against many of the established social norms that are ingrained in our military warrior ethos. Military leaders are taught from an early age to fight and win without giving much regard to introversion, intuitiveness, and feeling. In fact, the only acceptable trait that I seem to possess as military leader is that of judging.

As every Great War requires great effort and dedication on all fronts, it makes sense that the greatest war would have the greatest amounts of such effort and dedication. Upwards of 2.75 million total soldiers fought in this war, and millions more contributed to each side in other ways. The largest group of unsung heroes in…

To accomplish this, we turn our attention towards Rome’s greatest historian, Livy. In his work, History of Rome, Livy dedicated ten of his 137 books to the seventeen year long Second Punic War. So to begin, Hamilcar, Hannibal’s father, was the commander of the Carthaginian forces late in the First Punic War, and this is the root of Hannibal’s great disgust for the Roman Empire. Livy tells us that after this war, when Hamilcar was preparing to transfer his troops to the Iberian Peninsula to…
