United States Army Rangers

lower buildings in the valley. The idea of this being a main battle area came to fruition after the Battle for the Twin tunnels. They had excellent positions for defense, but they stretched over a 12-mile perimeter making it hard to cover with the army. Spreading the units to thin could cause for an easy defeat. Instead, Col. Paul L. Freeman stationed lower on the hills, around the base of the hills, to get a tight perimeter on three sides of the town that spread over a mile outside of the…

internship thus far has been behind the scenes, mostly finding suitable placements for patients on the active discharge list. Therefore, my one on one interactions with patients has been minimal at best. However, thinking back to my first month at Western State Hospital (WSH), I remember a patient who was having trouble with being discharged. Before, I go on about this case, one should be aware that I never worked with this patient what so ever on a one on one basis. Thus, being prior service I…

The South Carolina legislature couldn’t, of course, have been able to come to this conclusion when it first hoisted the rebel battle flag on the state capitol grounds (in 1961) as they were too busy contesting school…

A Few Minutes later the chopper appears over the horizon. I pop a green smoke and wait for them to land. The chopper lands on a grassy field in front of me. I race toward my ride home while keeping my guard up. My motto is: The war zone is the most dangerous when you’re leaving because you stand a chance of getting shot in the back by a soldier you missed or a lurking sniper. I board the Helicopter and I fly off into the horizon. I sit back on the chopper and light one of my smokes, the…

Modern day Army Ranger’s link their history back to two unique periods of time. The earliest years of the Rangers come from the pre-American Revolution era led by Robert Roger. The post-American Revolution era was led by Francis Marion during the American Revolution and John S. Mosby during the American Civil War. While these men did not have the formalized training that is available today, it can easily be said that they would still have met the standards that were established. The second…

Perfectly flawed leadership The United States of America is still arguably still the greatest nation on the planet. Funk & Wagnalls (2015) defines a corporation as “an organization, recognized and created by law, which allows people to associate together for a common purpose under a common name.” It is my assertion that America acts as a corporation in interest of economic, legislative, and judicial stability, only not legally incorporated because the government itself would be the granting…

contested World War I, arguing why fight for democracy in Europe while African Americans remain second class citizens in the United States. Others believed that if blacks served their country, the government would have no choice but to reward them with equal rights. Over one million African Americans responded to draft calls, and about 370,000 black men were inducted into the army (Williams, 2011). Those who answered the call…
