The Neel Challenge gave me a small taste of what we were to expect in our career as Army officers, the MRT and shooting sections tested our calmness and ability to think on our feet which made them fun and put pressure on us to get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible. The obstacle course tested our physical…

When deciding whether women should be allowed to participate in direct ground combat, it’s very meaningful to look at how successful are armies that already allow women to serve in military combat. One of the most important militaries, where women aren’t only permitted to serve, but are required to do military service, is the IDF. IDF stands for the Israel Defense Forces, and “ it’s three things; it’s ground, navy, and air.” (Dobrzynki) Since the year 2000, after the amendment to military law,…

With the drum being the heart of the army, it shows that even though it may not look like the best position, it is still important. The drum keeps the soldiers in the army at the correct pace when marching into battle while the General can’t. With these examples, it is very clear that the drum is a very important symbolism. The…
