During my fifteen years leading sol-diers from varied socio-economic, ethnic, linguistic, racial and national backgrounds, I have learned the inherent strength…

Homosexual soldiers have served honorably in the U.S. military for many years and as such have participated in most of the major conflicts and wars around the world, including the American Revolutionary War (Baker, 2010). The idea that these honorable men and women have had to be less than honest about their sexual orientation so that they would be allowed…

Aquatic Defense The United States has a few branches of the military. They all have important jobs that make them unique, but they also all have similarities. Two branches that are often debated are the Navy and the Coast Guard. The United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard have been said to be the same branches by some, and completely different by others. I found that the Navy and the Coast Guard are actually not too similar but both are very unique and important, although the Navy…

A weapon that has been with war for almost the entirety of the previous century and all of this one thus far, the tank, has changed warfare in many ways. The advent of mobile armored weaponry all started with the tank, albeit in its most rudimentary of forms. At first, this new weapon did not seem like a game changer, but that did not last forever. The tank evolved into a more mobile and armored piece of machinery, tactics changed to account for these beasts of metal and fossil fuel, and the…
