The war in Iraq was one based on political motivations. The U.S. hoped that placing various economic sanctions and military restriction on Iraq would result in a government coup d 'état within Saddam Hussein’s own administration. This failed, and under preceding circumstances, the U.S. decided it was the best option to engage in warfare in order to remove Hussein from power. War is considered a massive game of chess. It is one based on deceit, deception, fear, and is one theme subtly conveyed in…

through time and evolve our species, but its triumphs can bring chaos when put into the hands of an immoral individual. For example, Richard Reid, also known as the infamous “Shoe-Bomber”, used his expertise with technology to craft an improvised explosive device (IED) to attempt to kill 197 passengers on American Airlines Flight 63 (Shoe bomber NBC). Technology continues to adapt and evolve making the need for an understanding of globalization and how technology primarily causes it, crucial.…

guerrilla fighters pledged to give up their weapons, restart their lives as civilians, and re-brand themselves as a peaceful political group.

Improvised explosive device (IED) attacks in Iraq produced up to 80% of U.S. casualties. Mine resistant and ambush protected vehicles (MRAPs), fielded to route clearance units prior to the war, were designed to protect occupants from IEDs. However, a protracted conflict between the requirements based Defense Acquisition System and the politically charged “moral imperative” to reduce causalities, delayed further MRAP fielding for nearly 3-years. This delay resulted in 1,600 preventable U.S.…

patrol the day before. He wakes up exhausted because he doesn’t sleep well. See, the enemy likes to attack at night, first with mortars, then with small arms. From the first round impacting in the compound, it’s imperative he reaches his gear and weapon and makes it into the bunker so that he can have some sort of shelter from incoming shrapnel that blankets the area. He only wears…

the lives it can take with the hazards involved with it. Some background on the MRAP and what it was made for.

MRAPs come in multiple different weights and shapes of vehicles produced by a variety of domestic and international companies…

I woke up every morning in Iraq the same way. I would get up and I would get all my gear on. Today was different though, I woke up, and leaned over the side of my bed with a bad feeling in my stomach, I got up soon after. I laced up my boots, loaded my gun’s magazines, and then put my vest on. Then walked outside and the sun blinded me for a little bit. I later walked to where the Humvee was, it was going to take us on our route. When I got in the Humvee I saw one of my good buddies, Jaxon…

also advanced to create tomahawks and smart bombs. Tomahawks are equipped with a GPS and can travel at speeds of 550 mph (Chow). Smart bombs are also much more advanced with new technologies. Old bombs were basic with three components: some type of explosive material, a casing, and a fuze. Smart bombs are equipped with sensor systems, adjustable wings to improve accuracy, and a control panel that connects back to a computer at a secure location controlling the speed, trajectory, and time of…

that maybe we can create a poisonous gas such as that used in much of WWI, and also use the layout for an atomic bomb which were difficult and dangerous to handle due to the fact that they were created using things such as plutonium, uranium and explosives which would cause an explosion”. He seemed to be interested in my idea, although he also appeared to be full of questions which I expected would probably…

2:Responsble citizens should have the right to arm themselves against criminals with guns. o Rebuttal 2:This is partially true but the problem is who would be the one that determines who is responsible and who isn’t. Also victims who carry a concealed weapon are more likely to be shot in a confrontation that a victim that does not carry. Policy brainstorming: Based on the summary points above, what do you recommend be changed or implemented? Do you want there to be a law put in place – where…
