other skill other than the one they they get from training and working for the military. The skills that they do receive from the military are completely useless when adapting to civilian life, and veterans are viewed by some as useless, unskilled, and unemployed. That they are a huge waste of taxpayer money if they were to serve no purpose outside of the military and they are just better off staying with the military and just serve and die instead of trying to take the jobs of workers who are…

World War I saw the United States’ first attempt at running a massive national army of citizen soldiers. Through the conflict, the military authority structure for running this army was still solidifying, and the enlisted men, a.k.a. the “doughboys,” had a substantial amount of power in dictating the nature of the relationship between themselves and the structure that commanded them. The military higher-ups found themselves on many occasions having to coerce the soldiers to comply with orders.…

Nations’ War, New York: Penguin Group, 2007. Print Browne’s basic argument is that sexual integration jeopardizes and degrades the affectedness of our military. He argues that women should not be in combat using research in biology, history, psychology, sociology and law. Browne does acknowledge women that have served and are currently serving and states they do deserve thanks for their contributions.

Every country has a military that protects and defends its country. There are these people in the military that doesn’t always get credit. That’s the snipers. In Sniper by Gina Cavallaro and Matt Larsen they tell the real stories of real people in the military. These stories are all about the real work of snipers where they hide, how they talk, and the rifles they use to do their job.
