Children In The Military

The article “Children On The Battlefield”by Marcie Schwartz describes the experiences of boys in the military during the Civil War. Boys under 18 signed up to fight in the war. Although they were underage, their parents, religious leaders, and schoolteachers supported their descions to enlist. Sometimes boys would lie about their ages or runned away and changed their names to enroll. When enlisted boys would become musicians,serve as powder boys,water carriers, ect. There were boys who would play music to use music to communicate orders during battle. Powder boys would follow rules to obtain their pay in position. Overtime they would become homesick. Young boys in the military had properly fitted uniforms,found it difficult to maintain

While many articles look at military children and how they cope with deployments this article (Cozza & Lerner, 2013, p. 3-11) examines the resilience of military children so that professionals can better understand military children as a whole child not just a child during and post deployment. This article also looks at how military children need to have policies and programs that are designed to meet their developing needs. The article further goes on to look at how professionals need incorporate the strengths of military children and the strengths they bring to their military families, so they can cope with the challenges that arise in their lives. This article points out that many children exposed to traumatic events tend to be healthier. Then the article discusses how overgeneralization of military children and families can hurt how programs and policies are enacted to benefit military children and families. It also looks at even though military pay has improved the wages of a military spouse are much lower than their civilian counterparts. A look at how the youngest of military children are the most vulnerable, how there needs to be more childcare as well as community support programs.

Military personnel are not the only ones who have to make sacrifices. The family members also have to sacrifice the time that they spend with their loved ones. Military families deserve to be shown appreciation for all of the sacrifices that they make.

When my friends would ask me how does it feel to be a military child i would usually always respond with it's ok,because it really is nothing less nothing more,not good,not bad.Being a military child comes with advantages but it also comes with its fair share of disadvantages.Sometimes i couldn't see my life without being in the military, other times i wished i was just a regular civilian

Being a military brat has changed who I am. As I have grown it has driven my desires to change the

Being part of the military taught brats to deal with the changes in their life with humor and to be brave. They learned to not gripe about their parent's six-month deployment and taught them to rely on themselves. It also taught them that family was

A. Over 250,000 children are being used as soldiers for warfare. Many of them are under the age of 18, the minimum age for recruitment of soldiers. Over 20,000 children were abducted from their families and communities. There are still many groups yet to be known. As a child soldier, you are forced to torture others, be tortured, and be sexually assaulted. Even as normal children, they are too immature to realize the rights and wrongs of their actions; therefore they are easier to manipulate. In these armies and conflicts, over 2 million children have died, 4-5 million are left disabled, and 12 million are left homeless and separated from their families. Millions of these children have been abducted or have joined for the promise of food and shelter/protection.

All people face challenges and setbacks in life. Many military children face these challenges and obstacles on a more frequent basis and at a much younger age than most children who aren't raised in this type of household. Through setting goals, passion, and being open to change, I believe that anyone can overcome any situation and become successful. As a military child, having a father in the U.S. Navy and having a Japanese mother, two of the biggest challenges I have faced in life have been moving every three years and switching between American and Japanese school systems.

Boys have served in the military for generations, including the Civil War. Also boys could be enlisted for the army in many different ways. The School teachers will tell their students to go to the army and their parents won’t’ mind at all. The father of a family sometimes leads his son(s) to sign up a sheet that makes them become listed as a army soldier. And also boys marked daily routine of a camp by signaling.Sometimes young boys brought up canvas bags of powder from the magazine to the gun carriage areas. Young drummers often found it difficult to maintain regulation 26 pace during march. Being bullied from older soldiers also dampened young recruit’s spirits. New recruits were also exposed to the previously forbidden adult vices of tobacco.

Everyone is different. We all come from different backgrounds and have different experiences that shape who we are now. Children who have one or both parents in the military, still different, all have experienced similar things that help us grow as individuals. These are things like moving to unfamiliar cities or towns, making new friends, and dealing with a parent’s deployments. These experiences are difficult, but military kids are able to handle these things after doing them so often. What you learn from these experiences do not define who you are; they simply give you the confidence to let your true personality shine through.

Once my great-grandpa, David Kauhaahaa, watched his best friend die in the Vietnam War. He was devastated and he tried to help his best friend but he told him not to and move on, save someone else when you loose one, I will miss you but Iʻm here with you, and promise me you wonʻt die. My great-grandpa was shocked but he moved on and had a family. The military has affects on my family and the world but, there is history behind. The military has many benefits for people who does not come from a wealthy family. You could attend college and get your degree through the military. Every generation of my family has served in the military, which is why I am able to tell you about the many facts. My purpose is to inform my audience about the

Serving in the armed forces is an important to me since my family has a legacy of serving in the military. I have had numerous family members serve in the armed forces such as my grandfather, uncles, aunt, and father. It is through the armed forces that I hope to continue the legacy of serving for my country. Another thing that makes serving important to me is that I have a strong will for trying to make the world better. It is through the military that I can be a part of the good changes in the world. The overall impact that the experience will have on me are lifelong skills, a determination to give back, and the feeling that I inspired others. This will influence my community by showing local children what they can aspire to be if they work

One formal norm that is part of a military brat is their behavior. If one gets in serious trouble in school or outside, authorities may call the parents Commanding Officer and their actions may be written on their parents military record, affecting their work. Another formal norm is, since military families live on military or
