Soldier

Many members of my family have served in all branches of the military. This has caused me to always have the utmost respect for our military veterans, past, present, and future. I feel it is my duty as an American to follow in their footsteps. Service academies challenge their cadets physically, morally, and mentally. They challenge cadets to attempt to achieve rigorous academics while also balancing physical training and other obligations. These requirements are essential in creating…

Nowadays the military of the country is the face of its independence, patriotism, national security and power. Army, especially its triviality, courageous soldiers and wise commanders, is widely glorified in our culture, history and mass media. The twentieth century, with its wars and numerous conflicts changed a lot in perception of the Army and now our people take the army as an important and essential part of our life. The main army values can be described by the acronym “LDRSHIP” that stands…

The question is should soldiers get paid more than professional athletes. There are many opinions about it. I’m here to tell you mine. Soldiers should get paid more because their going out and risking their life so the professionals can go outside and throw a ball around. When they are on that field everything is serious they can get hurt, but the soldiers know they can get in critical condition that causes them not to be able to do anything else they wanna do yet they still go out there and…

When a soldier dies in war a certain question is often asked. That question is who’s to blame for his/hers death? Some may say that there is no one to blame and it was a freak accident. Some people say that there must be someone to blame for each death. The leaders of units may often blame themselves for the death because it was one of their men that died. Others will blame themselves if they think for whatever reason that they could have prevented the death. In most cases there is no one to…

speech, he compels both soldier and civilians alike to keep fighting for independence, claiming that what is acquired too easily is not given the value it deserves. He also tells the people of his time to avoid shying away, like cowards, from difficulties like those described in Document A (147), which contains the illness and death rates found at Valley Forge, and Document C (151) which is a pair of descriptive diary entries written by someone who suffered alongside the soldiers. The powerful…

The United States Army is a forever changing profession striving and constantly trying to improve. Although most changes are good there are many that are not so good for the interest of the Soldiers who have been selected for their military occupational specialty to be phased out or merged into a different specialty. When asked my opinion on this subject of an engineer military occupational specialty that could be deleted I would have to say none. This is because of the importance role that we…

United States Army’s end strength was 1,066,600 soldiers strong (712,400 excluding the National Guard). The U.S. Army consists of 510,400 Active duty soldiers and 202,000 soldiers in the Reserves (Index). Active duty are soldiers that have fully committed their time towards the Army and makeup more than half the total mass of the Army. While soldiers in the Reserves are soldiers that have only partly committed their time to the Army, these soldiers serve their commitment through drill time and…

My Thesis: For soldiers returning from Afghanistan and adapting to a ‘normal’ life can be harder than fighting since there are so many factors that affect individual’s outcomes. Afghanada follows the lives of Canadian soldiers as they survive the war and becomes heroes. Episode 93 of starts off with, “the crowd in the turmoil is clapping and hollering, and then it hits me [Mason]. It is the uniform. They are clapping for me” (Mason episode 93). This shows that the soldiers, no matter…

that the U.S. military chose to convey to their soldiers through the Nine Rules for Personnel of the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, however, these rules were written in wallet cards that may have never been opened by most soldiers. Although the wallet cards were distributed to every marine upon their arrival to Vietnam, they were not required to read them, and the cards’ content was not emphasized in their training. This lead to many soldiers having no recollection of instruction on…

garrison helps prepare Leaders for combat. There is less control over Soldiers in a garrison environment than in a combat environment because of the freedoms that after duty hours provide the Soldiers. Establishing strict leadership standards in garrison will help lead Soldiers more effectively in a combat environment. While in garrison Leaders focus on basic principles of leadership, standards, welfare of the Soldier and discipline. Things like counseling, training, room inspections…
