When a person enters the military, what's the first thing that comes to mind?The unique uniform.

Wars can be called as military acculturation. They played a significant role in the transmission of military technology from one to others. After the introduction of gunpowder and firearms into the battlefields, they became major elements to empires in order to make real their military and politic goals.

Military Order: A command proceeding from a military superior. After hearing this definition many people immediately jump to the complaining and judging stage of following instruction. Comments such as, “Why would I follow one man’s opinion,” or “only certain orders apply to me,” are common place among lower ranks in the military. The catch…

Even though it was a choice, to join the Military, I had no knowledge or inside information about what it would be for me to be a part of it. I say this especially because requirements and specifics of being a part of the Army. It was not until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army, and this when all my concerns and questions were answered during recruitment. My Recruiter explained and…

Envision yourself being a soldier in the Civil War. You get shot in the leg and it is absolutely impossible for you to be able to survive without help. In the midst of a battle that rages on, often senseless, a woman works relentless to help the wounded and dying. The woman bends to treat another wounded soldier when a stray bullet passes through her sleeve and slaughters the soldier. The nurse was Clara Barton; a woman who works on, undaunted. For taking these actions, she is a heroic and stout…

Active Women Combat Roles? Integrating women into the military has been a long and drawn out process for many years, until now. “All military occupations and positions will be open to women, without exceptions beginning in January 2016,” says Defense Secretary Ash Carter (Pellerin par. 1).
