first example Solzhenitsyn points out is World War I. He sees no other explanation for the method of torture and hatred that led to World War I than the lack of acknowledgment of a Higher Power by European leaders. Solzhenitsyn observes the same type of neglect in the western culture…

If there is one disease that is deadly for both Animals and Humans it would be anthrax. It is an infectious disease of animals and humans. The causation of it is a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis that mostly affects cattle, hogs, sheep, horses, and goats (MedlinePlus, 2016). This disease can be fatal for these sort of animals, and it kills its host by producing a toxin that kills the cells causing fluid to build up in the body’s tissues (Mock, Michele, Fouet, & Agnes, 2001). Adding to its…

The Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) is a mission that came to be in the war in Vietnam. With the creation of modern Integrated Air Defense Systems (IAD), U.S. Air power could be loses its effectiveness while still maintaining Air Superiority. While enemy fighters may have not been a threat during most missions the possibility of being shot down by a Surface to Air Missile…

With the great schism between the industrialized North and the agriculture dominant South over the issue of states’ rights staring with the election of president Lincoln, war was declared between two halves of a country. Although the land battles are more renown, maritime shipping and Naval strength soon showed their importance to the war effort. Naval battles and military marine interactions took place in all of the maritime domains, from the brown water of the Mississippi river to the blue…

involvement in Al-Qaeda to future technological advancements in the year 2026. I begin by showing the progression of technology following events such as 9/11, focusing primarily on warfare and the different technology that changes the field, followed by future projections of technology in 2026 and how this will shape future military training styles, society, geopolitical factors, transportation, and so on. This is followed by ramifications…

expect. Although biological weapons are overshadowed by nuclear warfare concerns, they were and can be significant threats and assets to America’s national security. Biological weapons are known for their inconspicuousness and effectiveness, yet their lethalness is still overlooked…

1. Chemical warfare agents are classified as either persistent or non-persistent, which is determined based on the volatility of the chemical. A chemical is classified as highly volatile if it evaporates and disperses rapidly into the environment and is classified as non-persistent. Some examples of non-persistent chemical agents include: hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sarin (GB), chorine, and phosgene. These agents present an immediate but short-lived threat because they evaporate rapidly after…
