Cecil, I enjoyed reading your post. Why do you feel it relevant to use the quote you chose in regards to operating outside the normal boundaries of the military. What are the normal boundaries of the military, every branch has communities within communities that all have different expectations of what they expect their personnel to do. All have politics but they are all different in many ways and yet the same. Personally this has in a way affected me in my military career I am from a very…

The Things They Carried and Walking the Rez Road Reflection After reading The Things They Carried and Walking the Rez Road, I learned that it is hard coming back from war. You can’t forget the things that you saw and the things that you heard. It all sticks with you weather you like it or not. While I was reading these stores I thought to myself what it would be like if I was put in there situation. I believe that if I was the characters from the stories I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.…

Ever since the beginning of time, any type of battle or war was perceived as a man’s responsibility. Woman were told that they were too weak to fight in combat. However, in recent years, thousands of women step up to the plate every day to join the military.

During the Vietnam War, the combat men carried numerous belongings being that they were soldiers. Things they carried relating to the war fluctuated from guns, ammo, and much more. They carried these things to help them fight the enemy but not all of these things helped the men. The things that they carried that affected them the most during and after the war was thoughts, memories, and emotions about girls, guilt, war, and how their life had been before entering the war. While carrying all of…

Maya Lin had a very specific idea for the memorial. After visiting the National Mall in Washington D.C., she decided that she wanted to create a horizontal figure that embraced its spectators. The names would be engraved into black granite, so that visitors could reach out and touch the names of departed or missing loved ones…

of success. The British could have easily defeated the French, though the Natives, who, at the time, were allied with the French, were a relatively new force to deal with. At the time, most major powers, including the French and English, and their armies all fought in “Line Formation”, which was the most common at the time. Fighting the Natives would be a new challenge because the indigenous peoples did not know of “Line Formation”. Throughout the Natives time in North America, training for…

Every time you hear a story about war, writers always put it in a male’s point of view making it seem like women don’t matter too. Women should be able to do anything and everything men could do, meaning equal access to jobs and careers in military as well as outside of it. People state that women aren’t “physically, mentally, and emotionally qualified” to actually be involved in combat. People think we should continue to have legal bars against women that want to be involved in the combat unit,…

I have choosen two different texts that are different because they are both from different perspective child’s situation but are similar as it contrays the same meaning which has the same message on how war can affect children.

Did you know a military soldiers can get paid up to 1,531.50$ to 19,762.50$ a month; in today’s society that isn’t that much. Our military deserves better pay, treatment, and equipment. After all they protect and fight for us and our country. The least you could do is say “Thank you for your service,” but most people don’t even do that. Our military deserves more and you know it! Military soldiers deserve better payment for what they do like risk their lives and do things not a regular person…
