Essays on American Military

Since Vietnam, there has been much debate about the effectiveness of a military draft in uniting Americans in times of crisis and keeping the armed forces representative of all of America. Proponents of an American military draft believe that our current armed forces are not reflective of our diverse society because there is no requirement to join the war. While it is true that the armed forces do not actively reflect the American population, proponents of an American military draft are wrong in thinking a requirement to kill or die for country is a tool that can be used ...

The 1980s was a complex era of transition, which saw the rise of military power, but also the emergence of new technology, as the fight against communist threats intensified. During this decade, the sci-fi genre reached immense popularity, and was closely related to the new blockbuster films which Hollywood exported throughout the world. During this decade, illegal immigration, the memory of the Vietnam War and the transformation of masculinity under the threat of feminism became prominent issues, which were reflected in the popular media of the time. As a genre which is particularly fit to reflect the anxieties and ...

As it is known, the task of the police force is to keep order in the territory entrusted to them. But what if this territory is the entire planet? Where are the law enforcement officers who have an international mandate for peacekeeping in any area? Officially, such a structure is the UN. However, individual states, namely the United States, are constantly trying to position themselves as the world police using a variety of means - from electronic surveillance to military interventions. This paper aims to discuss the role of the United States as a policeman of the world and ...

Introduction

The presence of economic dynamism in the earlier twentieth century enabled the United States of America to establish itself as a great power. The economic powers of the US enabled leaders to pursue important policies that helped transform the country after the World War II. The country was leading in both regional and global politics through strong leadership of President Eisenhower and John Foster. The two figures had a lot of influence on the expansion of the American military power during the post-World War II. U.S has a long history of its military operations expanding their powers in both ...

Abstract

During this paper, our target will be to analyze the main principles and ideas which could be derived from Carl von Clausewitz’s works concerning the strategy of war and the lessons which the states have to take into account, while planning the military actions. Additionally, we will be trying to deal with contemporary role of his work ‘On War’ which is thought to be the fundamental work in terms of military history and practice. The principles of five ‘W’ will be applied during the analysis. The final objective is to implement the principles and ideas of Clausewitz to ...

Ever since the coordinated attacks of the September 11, 2001, America has been put through an enormous number of changes. The man who is primarily believed to have caused the September 11, 2001 attack is believed to be Osama Bin Laden. He is considered by the American government to be the mastermind of the attacks that brought down the Twin Towers in the city of New York. Some of the changes that can be identified are related to the security. Furthermore, intelligence reports that have been carried out by the American security forces indicate that Osama Bin Laden is ...

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt is widely regarded as one of the best presidents in United States history. He is known for his cowboy persona and his widespread representations of traditional masculinity. Many Americans today remember him as a rope-swinging, outdoorsman who would not be content sitting inside the Oval office. In fact, he was once observed jumping off a horse into a pit of wild dogs and slaying a mountain lion. Roosevelt changed the course of the presidency and did many things that presidents had never done before, such as riding in a submarine, being identified by his initials, being ...

Japanese optimism was already very high even before the attack on Pearl Harbor. A large sect within the Japanese Military government held the same ideological notions about the United States and Western Democracies as Hitler did. The U.S. was decadent; it was afraid of the cost of war; it was split with racial and class conflict. Most had expected the attack on Pearl Harbor to lead directly to a treaty granting Japan rule over much of the Pacific (Johnson, 2006, p. 120-126). Even realists within the Japanese cabinet, like Yamamoto, the mastermind behind Pearl Harbor, who accepted the industrial ...

Abstract

The 2003 Iraq War received a wide variety of different opinions throughout the international media. While American networks and press organizations entitled the conflict as Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Canadian media and the channels in some Arab nations referred to the conflict as "attack and occupation." One character in this conflict was Chris Kyle, a deadly sniper in the American military whose life served as the inspiration for the film American Sniper. He wrote a book by the same name that teems with his utter disdain for the Iraqi fighters as well as with his excitement at the chance ...

People have dreamed of flying since ancient times. The Legend about Daedalus and Icarus, images of Egyptian, Roman, and Assyrian gods, and extant writings about different experiments and scientific thoughts reflect the desire of humans to become closer to the sky. In the United States, history of aviation starts with the day when brothers Wright built a plane and made in it the first flight ever. That happened at the beginning of the twentieth century, and since then, the American aviation had undergone significant changes and had become one of the most developed in the world. How did the ...

Military Victory. Tet Offensive. Tet offensive that took place in February of 1968 was a turning point of the Vietnam War. American leading political and military figures of the time expressed different assessments of the consequences of the Tet offensive, but they all agreed that it had dramatically changed the course of the war in Vietnam. Prior to the February 1968 attacks, the general consensus was that of an imminent American victory. General public was led to believe that the American forces and the South Vietnamese forces are superior to the Communist enemy. After the offensive, the attitude has ...

Fourteen years after the Twin Towers terrorist attacks in New York City, questions linger about the wisdom of sending American troops to Iraq almost immediately afterward. Was the decision to go to war against Iraq justifiable, or has it proved to be a pointless, costly war with disastrous consequences? The incontrovertible evidence has shown that the Iraqi War fits the latter definition for three distinct reasons. It is my opinion that the American-led invasion of Iraq was a bad decision because it was unjustifiable to begin with, caused sectarian violence that has still not abated, and has been costly in terms ...

This paper presents an argument in favor of a United States sponsored full-scale invasion with troops, into Iraq and Syria, for the purpose of confronting ISIS. The term ISIS, for a short abbreviation, represents the ‘Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.’ Recent global news reports indicate a bloody sweep of terror by ISIS organizational members and sympathizers. Nevertheless, counter arguments pertaining to whether or not U.S. troops should enter into a war against ISIS provide opposing opinions. After the counter argument reviews the situation, its stance shall be revoked, and the argument in favor of U.S. invasion shall ensue.

Recently, worldwide news ...

The hegemonic status of the United States military results in unequal and unfair treaties with other, less powerful countries; these treaties often include clauses that make prosecuting the US military men difficult. In this essay, I argue that the military power of the US has created a culture for American soldiers which eliminates potential consequences for violent crimes; this culture has led to an increase in violence against women from other countries as well as against women within the United States military. Assault, murder, and rape by the US military personnel go unpunished. These acts of violence are perceived in ...

Haiti‘s present is a product of its history; the nation’s founding by enslaved people who overthrew their masters and freed themselves from the slave system. the country reminds of the hostility that the Haitian Revolution generated among the colonial powers surrounding the country and the intense struggle within Haiti to define its freedom and realize its promise. One of the major causes of discontent and rebellion appears to have been the settlement of the dispute with France, which had been negotiated in 1825 . Another important event in the history of Haiti is its relationship with the United States ...

Images and livestream video clips of American military vehicles getting blown up and dead Americans--both military and civilian--laying dead on the ground in the vicinity have saturated both the international and media. Such images underscore the barbarity and savagery that has become so widespread in the Middle East. Often, such images are disseminated via the news and mass media as well as the internet in order to galvanize new supporters against the United States by discursively framing the American military, coalition forces, and civilians abroad as not indefatigable. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIL) is an extremist ...

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Man That Was Used Up” is an astounding dramatic farce involving the search for truth of an unnamed narrator to discern the true secret of a distinguished war hero, General John A.B.C. Smith. Along the way, Poe illustrates a Civil War-era society that brims with a very specific type of cultural revisionism and American exceptionalism that belies the true ugliness of the nation’s atrocities underneath. Looking at this story in the context of the Jacksonian era, in which Indian removal was a very prevalent cultural practice and the upper class lionized military might borne of a ...

President George Washington, born on February 22, 1732, was the eldest son of Augustine Washington's second marriage. When he was eleven, his father died, and the hopes of his mother were to take him to England to pursue education but the wish never came true. George's half-brother took the young teen to Lord Fairfax where he got employed among groups of sixteen boys to survey the lord's land. George was strong, handsome and good in mathematics. When he was seventeen, his brother fell sick of tuberculosis that led to his death. Before his death, Lawrence was the leader of a militia ...

On the 15th of December 2011, American troops lowered the US flag from their base in Baghdad, signaling the end of the American military and peacekeeping mission in Iraq. After a year short of a decade of military missions in the country, the dismantling of the regime of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein as well as the explosion of sectarian violence and civil disturbances, the situation was further aggravated by the continuing involvement of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization. In this light, the official departure of American troops from Iraq, and the cessation of active US participation in keeping the peace ...

Introduction:

A wealth of historians have written on baseball and football during the World War II era. However, there is precious little devoted to the political complexities between the Roosevelt Administration, Major League Baseball, and to a lesser extent the National Football League. Patriotism was good for business, however loosing players to the war effort was not, nor were direct financial contributions to the war effort. Major league sports teams are businesses and have to attend to maintaining a financial bottom line in order to remain viable. Little has been done to examine if Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League ( ...

- Introduction Although the United States is a young nation, she has had a background that is full of conflict. Because the birth of the United States was born from a bloody conflict with Britain, it seems unsurprising that much of the early days of the nation was also full of conflict. Some of these conflicts were necessary conflicts, while others, looking back with perfect hindsight, were more avoidable. Regardless of how avoidable or unavoidable the conflicts in the United States of America were during the early years of the colony, however, they were very important for the development of wartime ...

The freedom of movement using a plane was restricted to those only in the ‘fly ‘list. This was also enforced by increasing the surveillance electronic gadgets in both airports and bus stop stations. The individual freedom of privacy was breached due to the increase of electronic surveillance by intelligence agencies. Anyone entering or leaving the country had to be inspected and was to provide legal identification. All the foreigners had to provide a clear and understandable reason as to why they were entering the country. However, the ability of the citizens to move around the country did not have a wide scale ...

The New Dark Age: The collapse of America

The New Dark Age: The collapse of America The United States has had the superiority in various aspects including political influence, military might, wealth and technological advancements compared to other countries in the world. As such, there is an increasing and alarming degree of authority in the United States on the global front. Therefore, supposing the United States collapsed completely, it is suggestible that the collapse could put the world through a period of darkness like after the collapse of the Roman Empire. For instance, the United States is the world’s largest manufacturer. In 2012, the United ...

George Smith Patton was born November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel, California. George Patton came from the Virginia family, the glory of military traditions. From an early age he admired heroes of the American Civil War (1861-1865), especially cavalry generals, both those of them who led the Confederate forces, and those who led the northerners. He studied at the Virginia Military Institute Virginia Military Institute, and then in the United States Military Academy in West Point. He graduated in 1909. He did not show outstanding academic success, according to some reports, he even was within an inch ...

On the 6th of August 1945, a B-29 bomber deployed the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima. The detonation of the atomic bomb resulted in the instantaneous death of more than 80,000 people. Several days later, another atomic weapon was detonated in Nagasaki, resulting in the deaths of more than 40,000 Japanese. President Harry Truman authorized the deployment of the weapons over the two cities; at present, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb attacks are the only ones in history. In the succeeding months, an estimated 100,000 died a slow and extremely painful death resulting from radiation exposure ( ...

For a long time America has been deemed a world leader, whose actions make a significant impact on the course of international relations. American help in the two World Wars strengthened the U.S. position among other countries, and the Cold War proved that the U.S. can be a powerful opponent and ally, whose activity has an effect on the domestic and foreign policy of the countries across the globe. Throughout the history of its existence, the United States aimed at promoting democratic values nationally and internationally, and American military interventions and economic pressure on the countries with autocratic and tyrannical regimes showed that ...

Abstract This paper clearly discusses the reasons why there is still war in Iraq. Over the past 20 years, war has been a major issue in Iraq. The western states such as the United States have spent most of their time in the Middle East countries such as Iraq as a result of the war. Since the 9/11 tragedy in the United States of America, Iraq has been a major target by America in collaboration with other states in Europe. The major idea was to look for terrorists that have been a key threat to the world. However, conspiracy theory reviews that ...

The United States has a proud tradition of military accomplishment and support. Federal holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrate the men and women who have fought and died in battle for American freedom. Historians have coined terms like the “Great War,” and the “Good War,” to describe the proud feelings of America’s participation in modern wars. After World War II, the country experienced an unprecedented economic growth and increased political power throughout the world, leading some to label the decades after World War II “the American half-century.” However, the memories of one American war stand in stark ...

Reasons for the Allies Bombing of Dresden in the Second World War and Were They Justified in Destroying the City

Introduction During wartime, countries often suffer great losses to areas of their country, their cities, their civilians, and their landmarks. In World War II, the city of Dresden, the capital city of the German state of Saxony was bombed over the span of three days in February of 1945 by the British Air Force. The death toll from this attack on the city is estimated to be between 22,700 and 25,000 people. Furthermore, approximately 1,600 acres of the city was destroyed. There is great debate over whether or not this bombing by the British Air Force ...

For a long time, American women have been restricted from armor, infantry, artillery as well as other combat roles in the military. However, they have found themselves frequently in combat in Afghanistan as well as Iraq. Serving in combat positions in the military has remained crucial to the advancement of one’s career. For a long time, women have claimed that by failing to recognize their actual service, the U.S military has held them back unfairly. Over years, women have expressed their desire to serve in combat roles in the armed forces and urged the government as well as the military ...

In 1947, George F. Kennan, an analyst with the State Department, wrote an essay about the Soviet Union that took fear of this new country into the basis for American foreign policy. The Soviet Union had only existed as a country since 1919, as the Communist Revolution took the old tsarist regime down at the end of World War I. The struggle for leadership was a bloody one, as the idealistic visions of Lenin and Trotsky fell to the greedily pragmatic ones of Stalin. The fact that Stalin allied himself with both Hitler and, later, the Allies, was a sign that he ...

National security state is a term used to make reference to a condition where a state’s aspects of political, economic, intellectual and social life are based on the considerations of national defense and the need to have in place national defense mechanisms and establishing a capacity, through all measures possible, of protecting the state against all its enemies both internal and external. This control of almost all aspects of life in a nation came into being during and after the second world war when a state of mutual suspicion among the war victors, with Russia on one side and the United states on the ...

In many of the crises arising in the global perspective, America always takes the position of the good agent who seeks out the good of all. This is based on the American belief in democracy where they believe that the good of everyone should be considered in every situation. They argue that there should be neither human suffering nor abuse of human rights. Espiritu (2006) argues that from this perspective, it might seem like the US is a friend of the universe; the big brother who seeks to make sure that the others are kept under check. However, Espiritu (2006) ...

US Military and Japanese Military

Military power has long been seen as a very crucial aspect of government around the globe since the early civilizations. Countries spend billions of dollars to improve their fighting advantage, which would be spent in weapons, training and research. The military also serves as the first line of defense in times of threat, and the last option for governments if they cannot resolve disputes peacefully. In the 21st century, the military image still remains as a respected entity, but now varies on how the country utilizes its power and how it is seen by society. Two notable examples of two different ...

Introduction

An order of Habeas Corpus also known as the Great Writ is a Latin term which basically means produce the body. The writ is usually given by a court requiring a jailer to produce a prisoner before a judge within a certain period, failure of which exposes the jailer to legal sanctions for contempt of court. It has been touted for long as the bedrock of personal liberty in both the American and British legal systems. The objective of the writ is not to determine the innocence or otherwise of the detainee but rather to evaluate the lawfulness of such detention and whether it satisfies ...

Racism is essentially pronounced in the twentieth century, assuming a strategic position in both political and administration policies. Earlier scholars such us John Locke popularized the belief in equality of humanity by describing the background of human societies, the state and morality. Particularly, the scholar introduced the idea of a “state of nature’’ asserting that men are equally free. However, this state is no longer identifiable in the contemporary society that is highly informed by biased racial assumptions. Charles Mills developed the concept of “racial contract” that describes the state of affairs in the contemporary society. The scholar challenges the existence ...

Dr. Frank Abstract The United States of America has been led by numerous leaders with varying leadership and management qualities since attaining independence in 1778. The current American President Barrack Hussein Obama goes down in history as the first African American to become the American president since its establishment by the founding fathers. Obama has drawn a lot of controversies especially with his gay rights advocacy as well as snubbing his motherland Kenya during his African tour. George Walker Bush was the 44th president of the United States of America and Obama’s predecessor. Bush is the ...

One of the most important factors to consider when discussing the military in early North America is that each colony had its own militia organization that theoretically was supposed to include all able-bodied white males who were generally expected to provide their own weapons. These militias were also called up in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Civil War, as well as the various wars against the Native Americans. In a country that had a weak central government—and none at all during the colonial era—along with a string distrust of standing armies of the ...

The end of the Vietnam War had a great impression on my political opinion because of the controversy that surrounded the war and the fact that it created a major rift between the government and the American citizens. The war that lasted almost 10 years cost billions of dollars, the lives of 58,282 American soldiers and left 303,644 American soldiers wounded. The war defined a generations, divided Americans and changed the U.S. military policy and operation. Americans opposed the involvement of the U.S. in the Vietnam and by 1970 less than 30% of the citizens supported the war leading to ...

The American war of 1812 is also known as the second war of independence. Historians refer to it as the forgotten war. The war of 1812 was between the United States and Britain. Canada, which at the time was known as British North America was in involved in the war after U.S invaded it in an attempt to weaken the influence of Great Britain in North America. The war was not caused by a single factor but rather a series of situations which increased the agitation for freedom and respect in America. British’s infringement of America’s sovereignty is ...

Andrew Becevic a professor in university of Boston has been in the front line criticizing American engagement in war against Middle East. He believed that American has no solid reason to attack the Middle East countries, such as Afghanistan and Iraq. He also terms the move by the government and people of American as a move aimed to raise the American ego. He believes that the American ego has led to American being obsessed by militarism. He argues that American should be careful on this new trend of militarism American is approaching. Also, engagement in war will bring negative effect in ...

Asian horror, as a genre, carries with it a generous mix of scathing subtext and grotesque images. Whether witnessing the wrath of an uncanny ghost girl, seeing people murdered in mountains of gore, or the many subtle avenues in between, many of the best Asian horror films combine shocking sights with potent messages in order to convey an anxiety present in that society at the time. "Setting aside the moral ramifications of such manifest extremities, we can identify the current boom enjoyed by Asian horror and extreme cinema and discern a complex nexus of local, regional and global relationships in play" (Choi ...

The war of 1812 is highly elevated, even though there are a lot of misunderstanding and controversy surrounding it. In the Americans’ view, the war was a continuation of the American Revolutionary War, in which they had to defend their independence from the British aggression. In contrast, the Canadians recall the war with a lot of desire and brag of beating the Americans to the extent of burning down the White House. Nevertheless, neither the American nor the Canadian view has any merit. The Britain did not have resources sufficient to conquer the United States. Even still, Canada could not have survived ...

The Cold War significantly influenced the world’s powers’ military, political, economic and social status. The Cold War affected USA’s military status in various ways, both positively and negatively. However, most of the effects of the Cold War made the USA military stronger and more dominant than other world powers’ militaries. The Cold War resulted in an expensive and massive investment in military resources by USA and USSR. The investments made the American military strong as they sought to outdo the Russian military. Many soldiers were recruited to the Army and made the army large. The large army ...

World War 2 took place on fronts such as the Pacific, the Atlantic, Europe and North Africa. These battle fronts were popularly known as theaters. Between 1941 until the time the war ended in 1943, the American military undertook several operations on land, air and sea in these theaters. These operations were so massive that they had major impacts on the war’s outcome. As soon as America joined the war in 1941, they planned with the Allied forces on how to combat the strong German and Japanese forces. The European theater was considered the most important in this ...

US Military History

Initially, America remained neutral during the World War 1. However, when the US joined the war, they tilted the tide and influenced the outcome of the war. The US army took part in several battles, operations and campaigns between May and November 1918. There were several American leaders who were involved in spearheading the military involvement.

The US military spearheaded several campaigns such as the Somme Defensive, Lys, Aisne, Mont Didier, Champagne-Marne, Ypres-Lys, Oise-Aisne, Meuse, Vittorio Veneto and St. Mihiel. These campaigns took place in Italy, France, Britain and Germany. The American Army was carrying out these campaigns to ...

US Military History

Even though the United States remained neutral for the most part of the First World War, it played an influential role at the end. The American forces helped turn around the war in favor of the Allied forces at a time they were losing. The American Military’s efforts included multiple military campaigns and operations, which were carried out on various battle fronts. The army was also responsible for clever strategies and logistics, which changed the war’s outcome. The leadership provided by the well trained American Military generals was also influential in winning the war.

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory. It has been argued that, Americans were the losers, in Vietnamese war. Given the way the direction the war took, this statement could be true. On the other hand, one wonders if a large country like the US could lose such a fight. These are two opposing arguments that have been maintained by historians. In all these, the Americans did ...

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, doctrine which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory. The reasoning that America has been that if both countries, Korea and Vietman, became communists, it would be risky for neighboring nations. The Americans did not concede to accept a rule of conciliation which had made way for Hitler to reinforce Germany to engage in World War II. In both Korea and Vietnam, America struggled to ensure that ...

America’s Vaguest Conflict

Donald Hickey’s history of the War of 1812 closely examines the international diplomatic incidents and political infighting that shaped what would essentially become America’s second war for survival. The international situation, dominated by the conflict between Britain and France, complicated the exchange of commerce between the new American republic and Great Britain. Hickey’s account of the prelude to war, and the war’s prosecution, reveals that the war’s desultory outcome, which ended in America’s survival, was remarkable in itself considering the incompetent military and administrative performance of the Americans.
