If anything, this photograph is ...

“The Few. The Proud. The Marines.” This is a well-known, long standing slogan for the Marine Corps military recruiting campaign; originations dating back to 1799 (Szoldra, 2015). This slogan wishes to draw attention to the promise of creating one with an elite social status. Through many centuries of recruiting, and many slogan trials, this slogan has stood the test of time and creates familiarity by mere existence.

FTOs (Foreign Terrorist Organizations) are foreign groups that the Secretary of State designates “in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)” (“Chapter 6,” 2012).

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.

This military branch was basically given the task to take over the beaches when called into mission, and has since evolve to include other missions on land, sea and even in the air.

Thus, by the middle of the 20th century, the marine corps was called to “specialize in the skills and ...

Childhood has changed drastically in the last two decades. Classic games like cops and robbers and hide and seek have been replaced by the inventions of Nintendo, Xbox, and Sony. Videogames have been the burden of many accusations by angry parents or distressed authorities when violent events take place.

Common property resources are those resources which have property rights that are enforced collectively by members of a group or organization. Usually, the increased use of the resources by one individual led to a decrease of resources available for other individuals to consume. Ocean resources include; marine life such as fish and whales, open sea used for traveling and fishing, minerals found in the ocean such as oil, gas, sand among others. This paper will briefly describe the tragedy of commons as indicated in Hardin. It will also use Seabright to clarify how the rights of the common property ...

History has not been kind to many countries in the Latin American region. Since the early 14th and 15th centuries which saw the conquest of the Latin American region by Iberian monarchs, the region has witnessed instability, violence and a penchant for allowing dictatorial regimes to flourish. Most of the Latin American republics were formed in the 19th century and were a direct consequence of the lack of people’s confidence, in civilian rule and democracy. This failure of many civilian governments was a result of wide spread dissatisfaction among the people because of high poverty and corruption. It ...

Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) In Iraq-Afghanistan Wars

Abstract Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are homemade bombs that are constructed and deployed in certain ways. Since October 2001, IEDs have been responsible for over 3000 combat deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. These devises are designed to specifically kill, harass, or injure people or groups of people. In Iraq and Afghanistan, IEDs have been widely used. They are hidden behind guardrails and signs, inside animal carcasses, and under roadside debris, these encounters are very dangerous as they are causing thousands of death in Iraq and Afghanistan annually (Tanielian, 2008, p. 11). This strategy has taken a different direction ...

Aliens Films (1979-1997)

What is the significance of events in films? Are all the bits and pieces in films intentionally included by directors? These are some of the questions I asked myself as I set out on a comprehensive analysis of the audience message in the Aliens Films (1979-1997). According to film analyst Greg Smith, different events in films are not to be treated as accidental encounters of random occurrence and spontaneity. They are instead purposefully planned series of events with cause and effect and with nothing left to chance (Greg 128). Greg explains that Hollywood films are inadvertently one of the most ...

Introduction

This does not mean that policies were ineffective before the attacks, but there were murmurs of intelligence failures.

The American policy is exhibiting more and more concerns in that it usually emphasizes that the free world security as well as freedom principles are more important even though the global threats are on its door. The United States’ involvement is something that has been witnessed all over throughout the years and this powerful country has come to be seen as a salvation to some people. The advancement of US support in the various world crises is still a controversial matter given that some think negatively about it as well as others think of it more positively.

Every organization and company under the United States’ jurisdiction is required to implement a Human Resource Management section to his or her association. Without management, each organization would inevitably fall apart, and it is the human resource management department to make sure employees understand their duties, as well as ensure that all tasks are completed successfully. The majority of the population does not realize that these standards also pertain to militant organizations, such as the United States Marine Corps. Many think military organizations run themselves, or that they are run directly by the government. The USMC is a branch if the ...

Adopting the Wrong Perspective

In response to the rising clamor for gender equality and getting rid of double standards, officials are trying hard to incorporate a gender neutral approach to several aspects of the American society. Their recent target is the military. On January 2013, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta announced that the Pentagon will lift the ban on females serving in combat roles. Apparently, this move was prompted by the bravery of more than 150 female soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan (Londoño). Panetta further explained that the aim of the decision was to provide the best soldiers for the country without ...

Introduction

The Vietnam War took place between 1961 and 1975. The technology of helicopters goes back to the 20th century. The US army had acquired experience on the effectiveness using helicopters during the World War II. Mobility set the pace of the war.

The US army entered Vietnam in May 1965 to find they were fighting a different kind of war than that for which they had been trained. However, they did not enter blindly. There were a large number of army officers already serving in ...

Present day Haiti presents an interesting case study of nationhood in the Western Hemisphere. Compared with the rest of Latin America, Haiti stands out. Also in terms of the development index for the Western Hemisphere and the world, Haiti ranks on the bottom rung of many metrics. In 2012 the GNI per capita was just $760, and significant basic services, health care, education, were unavailable to many of its citizens (The World Bank, 1). In order to understand the present condition of Haiti today, it is important to travel back along its history to better understand why current conditions ...

Introduction

The Vietnamese War, fought from December 1956 up to April 1975, is one of the Cold War-era proxy wars fought in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Although, on paper, the war was fought between North and South Vietnam, allies of the two antagonists were also involved in the war. For example, North Vietnam was supported by its communist allies (such as China), while South Vietnam was supported by anti-communist allies (such as the United States and France). Up to date, there is no consensus about whether the war itself was necessary, and whether objectives of the war were achieved.

Introduction

Army recruiters have continued to strategize on how to maximize recruitment of officers from the public. However, majority of their target group is high school students who have completed and graduated with a diploma. In fact, they went ahead to create a database with all the personal information of individuals aged between 16 – 25 years. This may imply intrusion of privacy of their target groups, most of which are high school students and a few who have graduated. This even went over board when the 2002 act of “No child left behind” was passed. The act required that all beneficiaries of federal ...

America in a world of war The First World War started with the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand who was essentially the heir for the Austrian- Hungary throne on the 28th of June, 1914. This resulted in the Austrians getting agitated and deciding to prove its authority to the Serbians. This was the initiating point of the First World War. The war that initially started between two nations, eventually and very quickly escalated beyond expectations. Apart from this, many economic, political, and ideological differences, all related to one another resulted in this war. ...

There are many reasons which have made up the modern day Haiti. The racial caste systems are what have made the mulattos consider themselves superior to the blacks. The Haitian revolution which occurred in 1791 to 1804 help make the republic to be the first to ever be ruled by black people. The settlement done between the French and Haiti is what started to make the country be in debt with other countries. The occupation of US brought about the formation of good roads, housing and health care. During the earthquake the US were the ones who provided more ...

The ancient Roman soldiers and the modern soldiers share numerous similarities in different aspects such as use of armory and mobile units among others. However, the modern army enjoys modern developments in technology, which have led to the introduction of sophisticated and complex tools. As compared to the ancient Roman soldiers, modern soldiers operate with highly offensive and protective capabilities, which would marvel an ordinary ancient Roman empire soldier (Sheppard para 5). However, the ancient roman empire was the most famous in the West having conquered in most of their battles especially during the reign of emperor Augustus and ...

A detailed exploration of the reasons why the amphibious assault went wrong can be ascertained when examined in the light of the Marine Corps philosophy as embodied in the MCDP-1manual. The Manual provides the philosophy which defines the U.S Marine Corps and acts as an authoritative document for indicating how ...

Abstract

The Hizballah organization was formed in 1982 in reaction to the apparent disenfranchisement of the Shiite Community in Lebanon. It has since grown into a national political organization with an international following. In addition, the organization has plummeted and extended into activities outside its initial intentions. These include terrorist activities which target United States of America, Israel and their allies. Interestingly, no consensus exists at the international level on how to treat Hizballah. While United States of America has since declared the organization a foreign terrorist organization in consonance with their laws, Europe Union omitted Hizballah from its list of terrorism ...

No civilization in history can claim to have had a more powerful, resilient and disciplined army than the Romans; few have had a force so pointedly fashioned as a tool of statecraft and imperial expansion. The ingeniously imitative Romans borrowed the most effective elements of Greek/Macedonian warfare, adding their own innovations and relying upon the almost superhuman endurance of the Roman foot soldier to create the greatest empire in history. The peerless Roman soldier made a navy seem superfluous and, most of all, un-Roman. Nonetheless, in typically inventive Roman fashion, and in the interest of safeguarding commerce and protecting its citizens, Rome created a ...

The Battle of Fallujah transformed the manner in which the United States Marine Corps undertake their training and fighting at present.

The first segments or phases came in April of 2003, with the defeat of Saddam Hussein. The second segment was the one recognized by almost everybody, after four contractors from America were murdered and their bodies mutilated.
