Military veterans' affairs

physical and emotional capabilities and privacy issue. If the army gave on standard than most women would not do what the men would. “...Because most women would not even qualify to be in the military if they did not have separate standards...”( eden 1) This helps prove my point that if the united states military gave all soldiers the same standard that most women cannot do those requirements that male soldiers have to do. thats why women should not be allowed to go into combat. women should…

many teenagers go into the military before college and don’t come out till their mid or late twenties without the proper education?

In both past and current society, veterans do not get the appropriate welcome home that they should. In past times they have been so demeaned by their fellow citizens for fighting in a war that nobody wanted to take part in. Whether it be by words or physical means instead of being held high for putting themselves on the line for us, they were broken down to feel as if they were nothing more than worthless trash. Many people believe today that warriors come home and get welcomed back with opened…

Individuals enlist in the military for various reasons such as honor, experience, or as a career. Regardless of the reason for enlisting, many individuals do not consider the effects of combat situations. Of course in combat situations physical risks are always a factor, but there are also scars that cannot be seen by the eye.

1. Does the United States Air Force (USAF) current physical fitness program produce adequately physically fit airmen? No, the present USAF physical fitness standard does not take into consideration the mission of the USAF, “to fly, fight, and win… in air, space, and cyberspace.1” The current physical fitness standard focuses on airmen being able to lift a portion of their own body weight and attempts to identify airmen that appear to be overweight in uniform.

Every year since 2010 the suicide rate has increased in military personnel. More lives have been lost by soldiers own hands than in actual combat in 2010 and 2011. (1) It is estimated that “22 veterans take their life every day.” (2) There are many reasons for this unfortunate statistic ranging from PTSD to unemployment. It’s a well-known fact that PTSD inflicts many soldiers due to the horrifying things they have witnessed or the orders they were forced to carry out. Feelings of shame, guilt,…

Military deployment may adversely affect not only returning veterans, but their families, as well. As a result, researchers have increasingly focused on identifying risk and protective factors for successful family adaptation to war-zone deployment, re-integration of the returning veteran, and the longer-term psychosocial consequences of deployment experienced by some veterans and families. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among returning veterans may pose particular challenges to military…

The next week, I was so eager to learn something new. The psychiatrist announced that it was the military week. This implies that he would spend long hours interacting with them because they were new clients. He needed to get good and solid information about every one of them. Most of the clients who worked in the military or who fought in the military, suffered from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD). The professor in the abnormal psychology textbook, noted that the diagnostic criteria for…

Kyle got the farthest shot ever. American Sniper is about and by Chris Kyle tells us about military training and being a seal. Kyle was a sniper. A very good one, too. He has won lots of reward and he has the farthest kill ever made by a sniper. Also the most kills recorded at 255 deaths. very good one, too. Today Kyle is sadly dead. But Chris Kyle will still live on to one of the best snipers in the military. “Help? I don’t need help? I’m a grown man who can deal with this myself! Maybe you…

The reasons that welfare measures are different for veterans is because…
