Military Impressions

There are speculations that the government prepared themselves for these attacks. Not only is it speculated that George W. Bush had secret meetings with Osama bin Laden before the attack took place, but it is also stated that he was constantly informed about 9/11, but refused to take actions about it .Also it is stated in the 9/11 Commission Report that Bush was given many opportunities to act upon these terrorist, and he tried everything he could to do so. Furthermore, it is believed that the Military had practices just in case of a terrorist attack on the twin towers.

In this essay I will describe the many requirements and expectations set forth in the army's AR670-1. I will describe the importance of obedience to it and cite many of it's detailed descriptions. I am writing this essay because I failed to meet the standards asked of me me by both these regulations, and my leadership. I accept the responsibility of my actions and will not let my failure recur, nor will I let my fellow soldiers repeat my mistake. Since my failure was in regards to grooming or personal additions to uniform, I thought it would be pertinent to cover these subjects most thoroughly, If any additional information is required of me I will add on to this.

In my essay I will research on the Military Uniform and Appearance. I will also research on the AR 670-1.This will help me understand and value more the importance of the uniform that I ware and it will be helpful in future reference in my military career. In my essay I will do some comparison from our military appearance and uniforms from other types of jobs that also use uniforms and have different standards that sets us apart from the everyday use of a regular uniform.

Today's Army in an extremely nostalgic organization with a copious amount traditions and has about a million different methods of conducting its business. Some are old and some are new, but possibly the oldest one that has been around since before the Army was officially established and still lives today is the Army’s rules, regulations and policies on customs and courtesies. In this form of a remedial block of instruction given to me, due to what I believe to be false targeting, I am to explain the Army’s customs and courtesies and their importance.

The main idea of this publication is to create a collective understanding of the Army Profession by providing the Service members the guidelines and definitions of it and the Army Ethic.

The wear and appearance of soldiers in the United States Army are while in uniform should be neat. There should be no excess “things” in a person’s pocket but it should lie down flat. The person wearing the uniform should look neat and concise not drawing attention to themselves. Soldiers should look like a unit or group with everyone blending in not standing out because they look different. In the army it’s important to be part of a team and like teams that play basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, baseball, wrestling, and even chess teams. It’s important to wear the same thing. It shows unity and togetherness. This is important in the armed forces especially because of what they do. In the army, marines, navy, and air force

Source E focuses on one particular study that was published in 2005. It states, "...if DeShawn Williams and Jake Williams sent identical résumés to the same employer, Jake Williams would be more likely to get a callback." Using this quote from the book Freakonomics, it can be inferred that the employer had a stereotypical opinion on DeShawn Williams merely by looking at his name. Although the résumés contained the same information, the cliché idea that the name DeShawn (which is typically considered a "black" name) sounds like a name that would appear in a low-income, low-education family gave the employer the impression that Jake is more fit for the job in question. Using physical and visual evidence is often enough to create an opinion on someone, but sometimes, very little information is needed. The human brain is hard-wired to always work with what we have, whether that be a little information, or a lot of information. To conclude, it should be known that in order to form an opinion, information is always needed. It just does not have to be restricted into the categories of "visual" and

Appearance is a very important and highly regarded concept in the military. It is the staple of first impressions, the visual hand shake. A sergeant looks at his soldiers and judges their readiness for the day with how they appear. Why? Because it is a representation of honor, integrity, and duty. A soldier who takes the time out his day to make sure he looks excellent and looks like he is a soldier shows that he is a dedicated worker and that his Non-commissioned officers do not have to waste their time with correcting his deficiencies. Aspects of appearance in the military include: looking physically healthy, If a soldier doesn’t look healthy than he looks like he may not be able to perform soldiering task and the basic duties given to

Bin Laden, throughout his piece, frequently used Ibn Taymiyya quotes to add a religious legitimacy to his claim, what’s problematic is that Ibn Taymiyyah was a controversial Sufi that was imprisoned several times, one of which was for being accused of anthropomorphism (ascribing human characteristics to God) and for having criticized, contemptuously, the legitimacy of dogmatic theology (Laoust). Ibn Taymiyya clearly stands in opposition to al-Qaeda’s “Salafists jihadists” doctrine, which empathizes the principle of the absoluteness of God and his image. One of Ibn Taymiyya’s quotes Bin Laden used was “if the danger to religion from not fighting is greater than that of fighting, then it is a duty to fight even if the intentions of some of the fighters are not pure” (Zaman 443), this quote goes against Prophet Muhammad’s teachings and emphasis on good intention, he once said “actions are according to intentions, and everyone will get what was intended”, in this case, if some of the fighters would participate in fighting the USA for the sake of killing soldiers (bad intention), then they are simply considered murders, and such actions should obviously not be encouraged in the name of religion, which invalidates Ibn Taymiyya’s

The American Army 's history, composition, and structure predisposed the leadership to a rigid fixation on conventional warfare. In contrast to the British army-as-force-projection model, the American Army found its first task a matter of national survival. This historical trend - the continued perception of the Army fighting a war of annihilation - helped in many ways to keep the Army purely focused on its military objectives. Unconditional surrender was the name of the game, and smaller political goals were seen at best as derivative to, and at worst, preventative of the fabled 'total victory '. The varied composition of personnel which make up the US army also ensured a degree of formality, and a deference to rank. The structure, born of open-combat wars at large scale, was constituted around large divisions, which often rotated officers and manpower in and out. In short, everything within the Army was organized -rigidly- around the principle of a large scale conventional war. What worked against the Germans would work against the Russians.

This terrorist attack on America could have been because of the islamic religious beliefs in contrast to America’s. 9/11 has not been the only attack that has happened from Islam due to religious beliefs. “Islam’s war involves attacks on sacred symbols of other faiths.” (William, Mary E, pg. 22). These terrorists are known for destroying churches and burning down other sacred symbols and later replacing them with mosques because they don’t have the same beliefs that they follow. “Any evidence that there once was another religion on islamic soil must be effaced,” (Williams, Mary E, pg. 22). Islam did not want any other beliefs other than their own on their soil. Islam was willing to destroy anything against their beliefs in hopes of imposing a threat and gaining followers. “...Al-Qaeda is shorthand for a much larger religious phenomena-militant islamic fundamentalism that has spawned violence and terrorism against

In this paper I will discuss the importance of why a NCO or Drill Sergeant should maintain proper military appearance and why it is important. The NCO’s Creed first states that “no one is more professional than I”, so I am sure that means more than just appearance. It is a statement that includes mannerism, attitude, professionalism etc. It also says that NCOs are the backbone of the Army, which will also tell you that we serve a critical role. Even though I respect the entire creed, the statement that most stands out to me is” All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own”. Although Drill Sergeants have

    Names are a terrible way to understand someone’s identity because names are regularly replicated. In my sixth grade class, there were three Mollys. We all had different backgrounds, different religious affiliations, and different personalities. If our names displayed who we are, wouldn’t our identities all be the same? Instead of staring at names and trying to understand their meaning, one should focus on a person’s personality, for personality depicts our identity. In fact, I have learned from experience to not infer one’s identity based on their name. For instance, in middle school, I was mutual friends with a girl named Kassidy. One Tuesday afternoon, my friend, Katy told me that Kassidy was going to sit with us at lunch that day. I shrugged my shoulders and replied with a casual “okay”. Before Kassidy walked in, I had a whole image of her in my mind: blonde hair, cute pastel colored clothes, and religious, all stereotypes that I thought a person with an innocent name like Kassidy
