Military history

several reasons why people enter the military, as well as them realizing all the reasons they wanted to go to war diminished when they experienced the brunt of war. Going to war is not a choice you should make without some background info, and that is what recruiters are there for right? False, recruiters do not help you choose whether or not the military is a good suit for you. Recruiters have a job which requires a quota. They are the salesmen of the military. These men and women are here to…

Ever since the dawn of time we have been waging war against our fellow man. Many of these due to ideological reasons. There are good and bad that come from war. The United States alone have been involved in several wars. The United States since its birth has only been at peace for 21 years. We have been at war 93% of the time or 222 out of 239 years since 1776 ( ). At some point we have to ask ourselves is that to much? No, because our will to fight and survive is stronger than our…

The number of citizens who have served in the military has decreased by over a half since 1980. There is high hostility toward the military: In that sense, we should bring back the draft. It would be an honor to fight for The United States— Air Force, Marines, Army, or Navy. This Nation is One and I believe that he or she should fight alongside their Country. There are hospitals, Rural Legal Services, and more options that do not include having to hands on fight, however it still helps. National…

similar to this into the country? In today’s society people are complaining about the younger generation and their lack of respect and discipline. I have the solution: Conscription; enforcing a 1 year mandatory service requirement to serve in the military. One year of service at a young age will help instill a good work ethic, strong love of country and help everyone understand the importance of the services aimed to help veterans. Today, we have many teenagers and adults believing that the…

When we think of the military and war essential components of international relations, we think of men as soldiers, men as protectors we consider war itself as violent as well as the men participating (Youngs, 2004, p.85).

To understand why rape is used as a weapon of war, it also important to understand the context in which masculinity in militaries and armed forces develops but also understand the concept of hegemonic…

Curtis J.M. luedtke Should every young person perform two years in military service The reasons I found on why I believe we shouldn’t are as follows: 1.Not everyone would be accepted. 2.There wouldn’t be many civilians. and 3. It would lead to unnecessary killing. The problem is that they’re all self explanatory. First of all how would I begin? I believe the U.S shouldn’t make every younger person serve in the military because first all not everyone who enters are able to join anyways.…

all people should be enlisted in the military for two years, because the military does not follow all people’s religious beliefs and can have major drawbacks on a person’s health and mental maturity. Imagine having no choice but to serve in the military no matter what you thought. This could go against many people’s religious beliefs. People could also not be prepared emotionally and mentally for the military life. Being required to serve two years in the military should not be required because…

Imagine a young, innocent, 11 year old boy. Now imagine a young, innocent, 11 year old boy with a military personnel helmet on twice the size of his head, holding an automatic rifle that is almost the same size as his frail little body. Imagine this boy looking left, right, up, down, and all he sees is blood, bullets flying, and dead bodies all around. All he hears is the sound of gunfire and screaming voices, trembling as he runs and hides in fear of his life. What is going through this child’s…
