The armed services consists of four main branches: the army, navy, marine corps, and the coast guard. These are all branches that help protect our country from harm. Unfortunately, these military force groups have the same problem as well as any other work force. You might say that it’s disorganized, or it may be that we have too much or too little in the force. It could be either of those issues at hand, but one of our main issues today is allowing homosexuals to join our military. Many…

discrimination. These would be issues that would have to be evaluated before trying to implement this full force for the entire military. Minorities have been contributing factors in the military through the years, but not to the extent that they should be when it comes to being in the elite ranks of officers. Having examples and leaders to enforce the importance of a diverse Armed Force will help to not limit their skills and to open up doors for those who might not have been giving the…

The history of military robotics dates back to World War II and the Cold War. During those times of spying, weaponry and strategic attacks, these robots were in the form of Germany’s type of robotics and Russian weaponry called “teletanks”. It originated combined with a radio controlled boat intended to use by the military from Nicola Tesla.

basic literacy skills. Upon seeing the success of the original aptitude skills program, the armed forces adopted the Basic Skills Education Program (BSEP) in 1979. The BSEP process addressed the need for “college - bound” soldiers who lack proficiency skills demanded in the new armed forces. Thirty years after its inception, BSEP has bridged the divide between Soldier educational capabilities and the armed forces occupational requirements (p. 264). Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (The G.I.…

to achieve their own freedom. As America grew powerful, the country rose to the top among superpowers like Britain and Russia. Today, America is the world’s only superpower and hegemon. To achieve this position, America strengthened their military forces, expanded their economy and integrated its culture through foreign policies. While the quality of life and wellbeing of some people from around the world have improved from America’s influence, the same cannot be said for Americans. The hegemon…

The 1950’s was the decade after World War II and is synonymous to being a golden age for capitalism, family, and overall life. 1950’s America was and is still looked at as the poster child for good living.

The way military impacts individuals differ. In present day, we are not currently recovering…

Women deserve more respect. For quite some time now, women have been participating in the military, which, of course, originally only allowed men. Throughout the years of their participation, women have demonstrated that they are just as competent as their male counterparts. Last year was a particularly significant year for female soldiers as they were finally allowed to move into battalions that were formerly all male. Jena McGregor, a writer for the Washington Post, wrote her thoughts on this…
