Analysis Of ' Zits ' By Jim Borgman

No person in the world should be forced to have to go to the military. It should be his or her decision to fight on behalf of their country. They should not be forced to go because, they are not motivated, are too young, and are leaving their lives behind. When they are forced to go to the military they are probably not motivated towards it.

You as the parent know you cannot afford to send all the children to college. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to secure your children's future? If it were a requirement for men and women to join a branch of the Armed Forces upon graduating from high school, their dreams could become reality! Young people could receive training and money to go to college and fulfill those dreams. If the draft were reinstated there would be more troops to support the current crisis in Iraq. There would also be less turn around of the same troops redeploying to remote parts of the world. Many soldiers are gone from their families for a year, only to return to remote parts of the world after being home for a few months.

     The Army National Guard is one of the fastest ways to make it to college. In today’s competitive work place, employers stress a college degree, which means it’ll be an asset regardless of when it’s earned. The Guard can help pay for college undergraduate or graduate studies with the Montgomery GI Bill and Tuition Assistance. Many states offer their own educational incentives, some as much as 100% free tuition to state schools. Here are some of the figures:

Have you ever thought about joining the Air Force? Well , if you haven’t, just imagine the respect you’d get for serving our country, the pride you’d feel for helping keep America safe. Imagine flying all around the world and meeting so many varieties of people, seeing lots of different cultures. (Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Quincy) Although the USAFA has its disadvantages, it teaches future service men and women many qualities that they can use in their lives. It also shapes these cadets for the military by teaching them discipline, responsibility, and good work ethic.

Some people such as yourself, who do not support military recruiting in high schools, worry that military recruiters prey on the poor students and persuade them to join by offering things such as signing bonuses and the promise of free college. Admittedly those things might be offered, although not specifically for those of a lower income household, but for all recruits, and they are not intended to be used to trap those students into the Military service. In a study done by the Center for Naval Analyses under the Department of Defense it was found that when the nation is divided into five “strata of affluence”, from poorest to wealthiest areas, most recruits hail from the three middle-income brackets while the poorest (under $36,74 a year) and the wealthiest (over $76,981 a year) brackets are under-represented (CNA 2014). I understand your concerns on this matter, and while in some cases the recruiters might actually focus on the lower income families, the majority of the military recruiters just want to see your children do what they are passionate about and see them succeed in it, as I know you do as

Most soldiers did not get a chance to finish college or even high school when the war started. The government decided to step in and assist the soldiers, they passed a bill called the GI Bill which gave people who served in the armed forces a way to earn a living coming back home. According to the article in Life magazine on veterans attending college on the GI Bill, the picture shows overjoyed families going door to door getting former soldiers who are ready to earn a degree at school. This symbolizes how people cherished and utilized opportunities the bill gave them to better their lives. Sometimes the GI Bill could not offer people education, a result of mishaps causing soldiers to have physical or mental problems. The soldiers may not want the education or have not gone through enough school to get into college. According to the picture where veterans are waiting for housing under the GI Bill. the other option was to give the veterans a place to live if they could not afford

Louie Zamperini was a famous runner in his young ages. He made it all the way to the Olympics. When the time came to run in the Olympics, The stadium in Finland was partially collapsed. After his running career was over, he worked as an aircraft welder. He felt drawn to flying planes after watching them being flown during war. “Watching fighter planes soaring over his work hangar, Louis felt a pull.” (Zamperini 45) He enlisted and joined the Army Air Corps. I believe that our thoughts and actions influence our future greatly. Louis was a great runner but he had to move on. He joined the Army Air Corps and he made many good friends there. Without the Air Corps, he never would’ve met those people. But, he does go through many challenges that he never would’ve gone through if he didn’t enlist. This shaped his future and how he was going to live the rest of his life. He was going to have to live with the scares but also got the privilege of having good memories.

Unfortunately, many veterans are without employment. Veterans who joined the military right after high school are at a disadvantage when competing for civilian jobs. Veterans often don’t have skills and the experience necessary to obtain jobs after deployment from the military (Foundation for the Carolinas, 2012). Additionally, they lack a college education necessary for obtaining decent paying jobs. Because of their lack of work experience, veterans are being subjected to employment discrimination (Weissman, 2014). Veterans are in need of greater employment opportunities and financial assistance. Furthermore, many veterans don’t receive military benefits or receive an insufficient amount to support themselves and/or their families (NASW, 2012).

Mocha Baldwin, 21 years old, tall, muscular Puerto Rican and African American man who lives in Reading, PA had a dream. It was to become a soldier for the Army. He finally became a soldier in 2013 and is still continuing his dream. At first, he wanted to become a doctor but in 7th grade, is when he decided he wanted to be in the Army. He decided to go into the Army because he wanted to join a great team behind a great country. Also, he got inspired by his uncles and older cousins. He also got into wanting to be a soldier because he talked to a local recruiter and when he graduated high school his teachers thought he was making a great decision. He had to go through a lot of training but the physical training wasn’t that hard for him. But the

A 2013 study aimed to characterize the ability of veterans to reintegrate into civilian life on the basis of their employment status, earnings, and college enrollment (Kleykamp, 2013). To do so, information from the Current Population Survey data was retrieved and analyzed for years 2005 to 2011 (Kleykamp, 2013). It was determined that female veterans are less likely to be employed than male veterans (Kleykamp, 2013). Furthermore, white veterans are less likely to be employed than black veterans (Kleykamp, 2013). Interestingly, more veterans are enrolled in college and these individuals earn more when they are employed (Kleykamp, 2013). This indicates that it is necessary to consider the context of unemployment in terms of different demographic groups because some members of the veteran population are more likely to suffer from unemployment than

Have you ever wished to go back in time? Do you want to see what happened in the past with your own eyes? Zits, a 15 year old boy, who is half Indian and half Irish, actually went back in time and experienced many small parts of the past. Zits has been in many foster homes after his mom died of cancer. Zits would always get in trouble. He would run away from his foster parents and get caught by the police. He’s been in jail many times. That’s where Zits met Justice. Zits and Justice seems to get along well together. Zits feels like Justice understands him. Justice was also the one who helped Zits escape prison. They would practice shooting people on the roof of a warehouse and go to alleys to shoot people with paint guns. “I practice killing people until it feels like I’m really killing them”(33). This is what Zits say before he went to a bank with a real pistol and a paint gun and started shooting at the people at the bank until bank gaurd shoots at him in the back of his head. When he wakes up he finds himself in a small, cheap, and filthy motel room. Zits also finds himself in a different body and with a cop. He finds out that he is in Hank Storm’s body. He is an FBI agent and he is with Hank’s long time friend Art which is also an FBI agent too. Not only did he find out that he is in a different body but also in a different time. It is 1975 and Art is taking him to a reservation. There they met with 2 Indians guys named Horse and Elk which are famous people in the

In the editorial, “When troops worry about their kids’ schools our military suffers.”, author Jim Cowen in the Washington Post, was writing about how the readiness of our military suffers because our service men and women feel that their child’s education is suffering by taking jobs and assignments. These military families are moving from base to base with every new job/assignment and their children run the risk of either falling behind in these new schools or being ahead. This effects how our military is operating because, they feel like their families are not being taking care of properly. In the editorial, a recent survey conducted by his organization, The Collaborative for Student Success, along with the Military Time

In conclusion,although many citizens/teenagers do not have hunger for the military but they are put in there in way in different countries. Those teenagers that are graduating have already decided what they wanted to do with their life like going to college and getting a degree, but there is a different aside to this because going to the military could be very spectacular for many others.Like those who are trouble makers.They can learn discipline at the military. So there are many stupendous ways that military is spectacular for a person, but there are detrimental,horrified things about getting sent to the

Absolutely not the case. People give the impression that the only logical choice for graduating seniors is for them to go off and pay for a college education, but it’s not the only choice. By offering students other career options such as military or trade school in the form of public speakers, trips to experience the other options or simply giving them the encouragement to pursue the career path they wish, individuals could figure their life out in one try, opposed to two, Each fall,

In the essay, “What You Can Do For Your Country,” James Herbert Bushman speaks of instituting a mandatory military service requirement of three years, starting before the age of twenty-four. Bushman states his belief that as a requisite of citizenship, you must serve in a branch of the military. He claims that a necessary service will benefit more than only the military, but will benefit individual people as well by increasing the feeling of unity, the knowledge and skillset of the individual, and will grant equal pay and benefits for all in service. Bushman suggests that everyone who is unwilling to serve their country is no better than a freeloader or a beggar on a street corner, mooching off others’ efforts and earnings. Similarly, he repeats the old phrase ‘freedom is not free,’ and insinuates that everyone must work equally for their share of freedom.
