One controversial issue over the past couple of years has been the topic of child soldiers. On one side, people argue that child soldiers should be prosecuted. On the other hand, others contend that they should be given amnesty.

The question is should soldiers get paid more than professional athletes. There are many opinions about it. I’m here to tell you mine. Soldiers should get paid more because their going out and risking their life so the professionals can go outside and throw a ball around. When they are on that field everything is serious they can get hurt, but the soldiers know they can get in critical condition that causes them not to be able to do anything else they wanna do yet they still go out there and…

For a majority of a field grade Officer’s time in the United States Army, he or she will serve a majority time in either a leadership command position or a staff position.
