Have you ever read a story blindly and just couldn’t understand it so you made assumptions about it? That is what happened to me. I recently read Tartuffe by Moliere, after my first read of the story, I thought it was not relatable, virtually impossible to ever happen, and just not funny. However, after understanding the cultural background, the life experiences of the author, and the author’s purpose for writing these stories, I now see this literary work as a strong satire that is relatable…

The concept of amphibious warfare seemed impractical and generally absurd to naval powers, which led to the ideas being ignored for an extended period of time. The main deterrent from utilizing amphibious forces was Great Britain’s attempted landing at Gallipoli in 1915, which ended in a horrible failure due to poor planning and execution. However, the idea of using Marines to fulfill an amphibious role for the United States gained traction and set the tone for many beach landings that would…

Old black and white photographs from the military are always fascinating, they have a funny way to make you imagine yourself in that particular time and place. They can also make you lose yourself for a few seconds when you look at them. One particular thing to notice in the photographs is that all of the serviceman looked very fit and none of them overweight. The majority of serviceman in old photographs actually looked very skinny. Photographs in current times look very different, not every…

Principles of Leadership: Similarities between Stockdale and Metcalfe Admiral James Stockdale is a medal of honor recipient for his actions while a prisoner of war.

Non-Commissioned Officers are responsible for their men and their actions, and the Marine non-commissioned officer…

I am Timothy Neely and I am from Chicago, IL. When I was in high school I thought the last thing I would ever do is join the military. I was not very athletic so I knew the physical demands of any military branch would be a strain on me. After applying for several jobs I reluctantly started to look into military branches. When I started to look into them, I chose the Marine Corps strictly because it was widely regarded as the hardest branch and I thought if I could make through that, then I…

Military leaders do not necessarily have to come from combat or even been in the military. They just needed to have made a change in the way that warfare is done and made a difference to the men, and later women, in the military. One such man was John P. Holland. He is widely considered the Father of the Modern Submarine and I consider him influential because he made a major impact on the way that battles at sea are fought. Holland was born in Ireland where he grew up and worked as a teacher,…
