Mad Dog Marine Corps
1,858 words
I place my boot on the neck of this commie bone
bag, the toe resting on his chin. I think, I hate
this wet heat he breathes. At least there is no
rain in it -- for now. I hate his elusive sky,
too. A sky filled with foliage, unlike the limbs
and leaves of the hickory or oak trees back home.
"Slats, you and Mad-dog planning to marry that
commie better, " Luke hissed at me. I watch as
reality seems to shift; 5 ' 7 ", 176 pounds of
ground foliage in front of me apparently
transforms itself into a F...

Men And Women Marine Corps

From Kelly Flinn to G. I. Jane, controversy has
raged in recent months over whether women are fit
for military service (Brown 326). In the articles
Women Unfit for Combat? Au Contraire! and Women
are not a Warrior Class, both authors convey their
thoughts on women in combat. Both authors give
many reasons why or why not women should be
allowed to fight in combat. Timothy Brown, the
author of Women Unfit for Combat? Au Contraire!
gives many more strong examples to argue his case
than the author o...

Robert E Lee Confederate Army
2,005 words
It is likely that when comparing Civil War
Generals that the historian cannot make general or
specific comparisons between personalities like
Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. They
eventually fought each other, and Grant was the
victor. Who was more bold? Who was more the
genius? Who had the best instincts? When comparing
Robert E. Lee with Joseph Johnston comparisons
come quickly. One was a bold offensive minded
general and the other? And the other was also an
offensive minded general who lac...

Men And Women Male Counterparts

... bat billets argue that it is too dangerous to
put women in the position of becoming prisoners of
war. Without a doubt, there is a much greater
probability for acts of sexual molestation and
rape with the addition of women to the front
lines. Although they were technically in support
roles, two female U. S. soldiers were taken
captive and the Iraqis in the Gulf War sexually
abused one. This situation made those who were
already skeptical about putting women in such a
compromising position fur...

In May 1940 after the fall of France, Hitler
firmly believed that Britain, cut off from
mainland Europe after the retreat from Dunkirk,
would be ready to sue for peace if given enough
time and incentive. He deduced that with Britain
out of the war, America would come to terms with
the new order as it could hope to gain no foothold
in Europe without paying a terrible price. This
would enable Germany to concentrate on what had
always been considered the main threat, Russia. By
1939 air warfare was...
