The Soldier

Did you know a military soldiers can get paid up to 1,531.50$ to 19,762.50$ a month; in today’s society that isn’t that much. Our military deserves better pay, treatment, and equipment. After all they protect and fight for us and our country. The least you could do is say “Thank you for your service,” but most people don’t even do that. Our military deserves more and you know it! Military soldiers deserve better payment for what they do like risk their lives and do things not a regular person…

Broken Soldier In a town on the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border, on a heart-rending Sunday there was a shattered family. All the events that led up to this traumatic morning are placed right before your eyes. Subtlety through a child’s perspective is a story told about why his father left him and his siblings. My Father Was a Writer by Andre Dubus III sounds like it might take you through a wonderful journey of becoming an author. Much to my surprise the memoir was more about a broken…

I believe that child soldiers are victims forced to be perpetrators. I say this because they are taken into war against their will, but then they commit many horrendous acts of killing and slaughter, which fills the perpetrator definition of someone who commits a crime. Some child soldiers are taken by government off of camps and forced into war, and if they try to leave they are shot down. In this situation, the soldiers are forced into combat and should be granted amnesty, but I believe that…

One controversial issue over the past couple of years has been the topic of child soldiers. On one side, people argue that child soldiers should be prosecuted. On the other hand, others contend that they should be given amnesty. My own view is that child soldiers should be given forgiveness for what they have done because they were forced into killing, they were manipulated, and they only had one choice once they entered the army: Kill or be killed. When villages are attacked and families are…

Manager. Sales Associate. Flight Attendant. Military soldier. One of these careers should stand above the others, yet somehow all these careers have the average annual pay grade of about $50,000 to $60,000, according to PayScale. Military soldiers are subjected to unfair treatment in regards to many factors that extend beyond just pay. They lack the availability of proper help and recognition after returning to civilian life after service. As a citizen, I am someone whose rights are being fought…

Everyone knows that child soldiers are a bad occurrence. But the real question is, should a child soldier be treated as a victim or a criminal? Many say that the children are victims because they are forced into being a soldier, the result of refusal often being death. But how would you feel if your family was killed? It doesn’t matter who they were killed by, you would still want justice. A great majority of the child soldiers enlist and some even seem to enjoy killing. Those who refuse the…

The House of Mirth and The Good Soldier have different techniques that engage the reader in the story. Both novels discuss topics such as adultery and manipulation which were highly touchy subjects in their time period. These “scandalize” themes in these two novels holds the reader's attention but, the writing techniques the two authors use make the novel more interesting. The House of Mirth uses a more traditional way of writing while the The Good Soldier uses unordarthox writing style. The…

Army Leader Redefines how to Lead Soldiers with “Why” Five years ago, Chief Warrant Officer 3 William Woods embarked on a journey to change the culture of the Army and how leaders led soldiers. His vision of change began while he attended a course on leadership in organizations at the University of Oklahoma. Woods started by teaching leaders the importance of knowing their “why,” allowing them to inspire their subordinates to believe in the same cause. According to Woods, “when leaders…
