Prepare for war! That is what you hear and your heart stops, your jaw opens and you gasp for air that is not there. While the history and establishment of Camp Lewis is not as important or as serious as preparing for war, it is important to know the past. The past helps posture and mold the future of tomorrow as we learn and grow from the success and/or mistakes of those before us. In Washington State, the civilian populace fought for the idea of bringing a military base to the American

Prepare for war! That is what you hear and your heart stops while your jaw opens and you gasp for air that is not there.

The intricate nature of youth means that while some argue it is a universal stage of life, it is seen by many as a formation of sociocultural elements. Social construction can be defined as something that has been shaped by the values, interests or practices of a culture or society and this is evident in the youth demographic through its revolution in recent years.

The construction and development of the Pentagon When the construction of the Pentagon was first embarked upon, the United States had no Defense Department or State Department, only a War Department. However, with the increased technological complexity of modern warfare and the need to fight yet another world war on multiple fronts, the United States existing military infrastructure was growing rapidly outdated. "The War Department in Washington was growing at an explosive rate, its 24,000 workers
live amongst the rich; however, after displaying and defending their national concept of idealism for the world in World War II, Americans obtained a new perspective.

Stanley Karnow describes the Vietnam War era of American history as “…a tragedy of epic dimensions…”1 and it is fair to postulate that this is no understatement.

Luttwak’s “Give war a chance”, where he argues that negotiated settlements produce the most unstable peace, since those instruments
century. Beginning in the 18th century and throughout the 19th century, new machinery, and industrially fabricated materials began to appear on construction sites. Entering the 20th century there was a real attempt to adopt the industrial manufacturing processes from the previous centuries, due to a high demand for housing and construction during the post war period. It wasn’t until this time mass production of materials and machinery altered the building process which led us in a direction of robotics
