The Impact of War on Families Have you ever considered thinking how not only are the soldiers affected by the war, but how the families are affected by it? Families and close relatives are just as harmed in many ways by the war just like how the soldier is. Having one parent serving a tour of duty can make it very stressful for the parent at home to raise a child and meet financial obligations which causes them to deal with lots of stress and emotional issues. In addition to financial…

The ideal employer for me is the United States Air Force. I am not saying that currently they are the ideal employer, but if given my choice this is where I would spend my entire working life. I think the Air Force and other military branches are doing more than many companies to work towards a diversified workforce. This is partially because we are funded by tax dollars and this leads the military towards being somewhat of a social experiment run by the government. The military is getting…

As we watched the television series, “Band of Brothers” a variety of traits were shown throughout military leadership. Though not all of the traits were considered good, many of them came to form multiple great leaders. Speaking of which, Captain Richard Winters There are a numerous amount of ways to be specified as a bad military leader. For instance, not following directions, not being able to take action when needed, lack of listening to commands, not following a plan, dismissing ideas that…

Liam O’Flaherty’s tale of two brothers, “The Sniper,” is shocking. This story is jam packed with action even though the story is only a few pages long. The Sniper and its theme of “war reduce human beings to mere objects” really made me think about my relationship with my family and what my ancestors might have gone through to make this country, The United States, the great place to live that I can live in today. During the time of this tale, there is a civil war going on in Dublin Ireland.…

places; school, church, or even voice our opinions. Many gave up their lives to protect the people they loved. Many of the members in my family have and are serving in the military. Whether them being doctors, ministers, marines, air force, army, or counseling many people in my family have served for our country. My grandfathers on both sides, seven of my cousins, my great grandfather, five of my aunts and uncles, and many more have all served for our country. Only one of my…

Dishonesty from senior military leaders plays a significant impact while undermines the public trust that has been entrusted by the American people. Our Nation has place a special relationship of trust and confidence in our military leadership this relationship is validated by the honor and support given by all individuals in our country.

In Molly M. Ginty’s article “All Guts, No Glory”, she explores the issue of women serving in combat and the unfair reality that females have faced in the U.S. armed forces. In my opinion I strongly believe that women should be allowed to participate in combat. Many reasons why are if she signed up for this and has all the right training for it she should be allowed to go into war and fight for our country the same way men do. Women put their life at risk the same way males do getting shipped out…

“America’s Gift to my Generation” Have you ever thought how America has so many gifts for this generation? The military is America’s greatest gift because people die for our country, they made our country what it is today, and how different life would be without the military. The military has been around for over two centuries and is still going strong today. One reason is how brave you have to be to join the military, not knowing how you will survive, or how your personality will change for…

informing the Soldiers about the current tempo of the unit and why some of the decisions were made. A decision that forced Soldiers to be away from their family and work longer hours after coming back from the deployed. At the same time, the Center for Army Leadership Assessment and Feedback Program showed that commanders shared a lack of willingness to include subordinated in decision-making and fell short of expectations on developing subordinates, coaching, and counseling. This report showed…

It is day three in this terrible war, already most of my close friends have gotten killed trying to protect our country. Every time i look around i see dead bodies everywhere, i feel like you have to be crazy if you like fighting and killing people. I honestly would rather be a slave then have to be here, i feel that even slaves have it easier than us, because if they mess up they get hit by their owners but if we mess up we get killed. It's crazy to think that any one of these days i could get…
