Another reporter notes, "Still, others caution that the strains could soon become too heavy to bear for some troops and their families" (Bender). This could lead to disastrous results. A service member worried about his long-term absence from his family, or suffering pressure from that family about his length of service, could become preoccupied and inattentive, leading to disastrous consequences. He or she could miss an important sign or bit of evidence, and end up being killed or injured due to their preoccupation. They could also suffer from fatigue and depression, which could also lead to their injury. They could suffer from "burn out" and simply quit caring about their job or their survival, and that could lead to disaster, as well.
In addition, the families at home are suffering years or more away from the ones they love. In the case of families, they are essentially single-family households, struggling…...

Graham believes strongly that the United States military needs can be met through volunteer efforts (Heilprin, 2006).

I think we can do this with an all-voluntary service, all-voluntary Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy. And if we can't, then we'll look for some other option," said Graham, who is assigned as a reserve judge to the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals (Heilprin, 2006).

angel counters that argument with his belief the nation is stretched to thin with its current overseas military obligations. His bill does not require everyone to serve in the war, but asks that every young person commit two years of his or her life to service in the military whether that service was in the trenches, hospitals or schools.

Graham said he believes the all-voluntary military "represents the country pretty well in terms of ethnic makeup, economic background (Heilprin, 2006)."

It is rather well-known that 18 is a comparatively dangerous age, primarily because, with the exception of consuming alcohol and tobacco products, it marks a period of youth where one enjoys all the legal rights of adulthood in the U.S. despite the fact that most psychologists and adolescent behaviorists consider this chronological an "intermediate" period between childhood and true adulthood. This conclusion reflects the common observation that for most individuals, social and interpersonal judgment and skill both remain relatively undeveloped until the mid twenties.

Generally, the age of 18 marks a psychological period characterized by relative immaturity, particularly in complex thought processes involving behavioral choices and their consequences. This is precisely the reason that automobile insurance rates are highest for drivers under the age…...

Nations cannot be secure unless they are defended. While civic duty and virtue might compel citizens to want to provide voluntary military service for the good of their country, civic duty may at times need to be compelled through compulsory service. As Simon and Lovrich (2009) point out, the War on Terrorism has propelled the nation into a new environment in which security and defense are top priorities. In such times, a country cannot depend upon the hope that citizens will volunteer their time in military service in defense of the country. It becomes imperative at such moments for mandatory military service to be enacted so that the nation can be sure of being prepared at all times to oppose its enemies and maintain its security. This paper will show why mandatory military service for all able bodied citizens is an idea that should be supported in the present climate.

Technology in Higher Education
Technology is crucial in higher education because every aspect in education, technology should be incorporated. Technology enables collaboration between students and even lecturers when they are in different geographical areas. For example, when studying online, students can be given instructions and materials that will enable them to study in their workplaces. In the case of the military, the student can access all the materials and instructions from the lecturer and other students using the technological techniques. he/she does not need to move from workplace to the college to get the materials. Technology has made higher education to be convenient as compared to earlier days where the student was necessary to be in class. In the early days, someone working in different places was difficult for him/her to advance in education. he/she would either decide to resign and continue studying or keep working without advancing in education (Arfield…...

Title: "The Evolution and Challenges of Military Recruiting in the Modern Era"

Introduction

Military recruiting, the critical process of enlisting individuals into armed forces, has undergone significant transformation over the years. With changes in societal attitudes, technological advancements, and global security needs, the methods and challenges of military recruitment have evolved. This essay examines the historical context, current strategies, effectiveness, and ethical considerations of military recruiting, providing insight into its complex nature in today’s world.

Historical Context and Evolution

Historically, military recruitment has varied from conscription – mandatory military service – to volunteer-based systems. In times of significant conflicts like the World Wars, conscription was common, reflecting the urgent need for personnel. However, post these global conflicts, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, many nations shifted towards all-volunteer forces. This transition was driven by a combination of political, social, and ethical factors and marked a significant change in military recruitment philosophy,…...

Review of Amasia: The Orion War -- The Future of Warfare?The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of Amasia (2017) by Kali Altsoba, including an analysis concerning how the author draws on past military battles in history to extrapolate these events into the future battle for Amasia, the supercontinent that scientists predict will be created when all of the worlds continents collide around the North Pole. In addition, a discussion concerning how the author correlates real life together with historical armies and battles including prevailing misogynic views in the contemporary and future armed forces, and the implications of the formation of the first all-female military division. A comparison of the devastating totality and destruction of real-life wars and their science-fiction counterparts is followed by a discussion about soldiers who live to kill and lust for it, the effects of religion on warfare, most especially with respect to…...

Military
The colonists' most revered military institution was the militia, a model inherited from their forebears in England. The philosophical underpinnings of the militia model are easy to understand: "fear of a standing army," (Millet and Maslowski 1). A standing army can turn against its people, staging what now would be called military coups one after the other. During and especially after Independence, the validity, effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of the militia model was called into question. This is why the United States Constitution eventually included the provisions for federalized systems of national security. Naturally, the existence of a standing army to "provide for the common defense" would be required. Independence required an organized military strategy against a powerful Empire; to protect the new nation, it was certain that the military would be necessary to preserve all that hard work. The Constitution therefore enabled the creation and maintenance of standing armies,…...

Likewise, according to Anderson (2004), "War, if good for anything, is great for business. It means more than just the production of weapons and equipment -- sometimes faulty and overpriced. It promises billions in government revenues for increasingly privatized military training, recruiting, laundry and even KP services" (p. 155). These privatized military services all provided courtesy of the friendly folks at Kellogg, Brown & oot - and all at a hefty profit, of course. To be fair, though, the vice president is not the only one involved in this unholy conspiracy to bilk the American taxpayer while bleeding the armed forces dry. In this regard, Achcar (2004) emphasizes that the president is also implicated by virtue of his close ties with the oil and gas industry and the enormous political contributions they have provided to support his administration's prosecution of the war in Iraq. "Besides his own personal and…...

That is why I became Treasurer of the ives Club, out of gratefulness for this extended family. I know many people of my generation struggle to find 'who they are' but the structure of the military offers a potent and compelling answer to that question. To serve means always to be at home amongst people who understand exactly what you are going through: "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in" (Frost 118-119).
Being in the military does not mean, contrary to conventional wisdom, that one must obey an unthinking policy of 'my country right or wrong.' The men and women in the military must obey because soldiers cannot afford to question every order and live, however, this does not make them unthinking automatons -- far from it. In fact, soldiers think more about the great questions of life and death,…...

The definition for "subversives" is a bit vague, but Fagen explains that in Argentina and elsewhere in Latin American dictatorships the victims of violent repression tended to be union leaders, liberal political leaders, artistic people in cultural circles, student protest leaders and media personalities (p. 41). The whole point of these horrendous repressive policies was to inspire fear, confusion and "distrust" among the general population. For those who believe the United States' military always stands on the side of democratic movements it may come as something of a shock that the U.S. funded and trained many military outfits during the time of dictators in Latin America.

"An entire generation of Latin American military officers and police were armed, trained, and 'professionalized'" by American police and military leaders (Fagen, 1992, p. 43). Fagen says the repression in Argentina was, in part, designed to "Purge ideological infection"; Argentine present General Jorge Rafael Videla,…...

Military Aircraft and Their Effect on Commercial Aviation
Civil aviation deals with the organization and use of aircraft as a means of commercial transportation. The principal interest is the use of aircraft on scheduled and chartered flights to carry passengers and cargo, but the subject also covers the use of aircraft for pleasure, business, and medical services. ecause of the international character of civil aviation, governments play a major role in its conduct and regulation, through both national legislation and international agreements. This governmental influence was a major factor in commercial airline operation until the early 1980s, when the U.S. domestic market was deregulated. The result was a massive increase in competition, which led in turn to a reorganization of the airlines into larger groupings. It seems likely that this process will continue in the international market, which will lead to an increase in air travel, and increased pressure on airports…...

In addition, the Marines have a much smaller force than the army.
On the other hand, the army cannot be as selective as the marines because it needs to maintain a much higher number of troops. The article explains that the army "needs 80,000 new soldiers this year and must find them in a populace that is in many ways less willing and less able to serve than earlier generations were (Mockenhaupt, 2007, pg.86)." The article explains that teenagers and young adults are overweight and less fit than any previous generation. In addition, this generation of young Americans eats more unhealthy foods, watches more television, and engages in less physical activity than previous generations. The article further asserts that this generation is "more individualistic and less inclined to join the military. And with the unemployment rate hovering near historic lows, they have other choices (Mockenhaupt, 2007, pg.86)."

Military personnel must achieve and maintain the best physical conditioning of they are reasonably able to reach for the duration of their enlistment as a fundamental obligation of being fit for duty. Smoking makes that impossible. Likewise, the American taxpayer has a justifiable interest in reducing the costs of fielding a military by eliminating unnecessary costs. Smoking invariably adds to the already substantial costs of providing medical care to armed services personnel, both during their active service as well as throughout their lives afterwards to the extent they rely on veteran's services for medical care.
Military personnel already understand that the privilege and benefits associated with military service entail various restrictions on rights enjoyed by civilians. In this case, military justice must catch up to the manner in which civilian society has already incorporated the understanding of the risks of smoking into American life.
