The Issue Of A Soldier

Im sure many people would consider not informing their chain of command of this situation given the circumstances(new to the unit and SFC Sharps reputation) and the fact that SFC Sharp is on his way out of the unit. However the ethical dilemma for me is, do I confront him, alert the chain of command or contact the Military Police to

Bang! Bang! “At that instant several gunshots, which sounded like thunder striking the tin-roofed houses, took over town. The sound of guns was so terrifying it confused everyone” (Beah 23). In A Long Way Gone, Ishmael Beah conveys his amazing journey through war and hardship as a child soldier. Sierra Leone--a country on the western coast of Africa--was embroiled in a bloody civil war in the 1990’s. Battles multiplied as bloodshed abounded and as a child, Ishmael Beah was forced to survive, find food, and face unimaginable dangers. Running from the battle front was also a routine ordeal. At age 13 Beah was captured by the military and brainwashed into using guns and drugs. As a child soldier, he perpetrated and witnessed a great deal of violence. At 15 he was rescued and taken to a rehabilitation center. With time and continual treatment, Beah was able to recover, to some extent, and reconnect with his Uncle Tommy, who adopted him. He was later chosen to speak to the United Nations in New York City about his experiences as a child soldier. When he returned to Sierra Leone, war broke out throughout the city where he lived, causing many deaths including his Uncle Tommy. Eventually Beah escaped Sierra Leone and managed to reach New York City, where he began a new life. Through the book A Long Way Gone, Ishmael Beah conveys a central theme of having to survive, at a young age, through the hardships of war with the use of imagery.

Freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. The soldiers in the American revolution demonstrated this at the Battle of Valley Forge when facing starvation, disease, and hypothermic temperatures.

We had been laying out Alpha sections truck when they pulled up. They proceed to hand over keys and locks to the vehicles so we could lay them out. The platoon immediately began to download these truck to finish out this long process of accounting for equipment. Most things had been pretty beat up and SSG Thomas had asked about replacements. It was about 1700hrs when a runner form the SQDN came and ask for SFC James to call the S-3. SFC James had been gone for about an hour and we had been counting BII for the trucks we had received from this poorly skilled scouts. SFC Lackey was waiting for him so they could both move through the equipment and check it. SFC James came back with an urgent mission according to him. Right then, we had to start pulling the trucks back together and getting our gear from the rooms. We had been spun up because there was a IED that the IA had found. We rushed to put together the trucks and rushed to get gear on. We spun up four trucks in less than 20 minutes. The senior guy was SSG Fielder, point man was SSG Thomas, and I was going to be the middle truck. When we pulled up to SQDN and SSG Thomas pulls me aside to speak to me about taking lead.

In Hector Tobar’s novel, The Tattooed Soldier, many of the characters experience unpleasant situations. These include homelessness, joblessness, and murder. These unpleasant situations lead to negativity in their lives, and this negativity can evoke feelings of sympathy. Of all the characters in Tobar’s novel, I believe Antonio deserves the greatest amount of sympathy because he lives a life of constant despair and is often treated unfairly, which is like a trap from which he cannot escape.

Child Soldiers is a major global issue which is affecting todays 21st century. Many Countries around the world are illegally operating child soldiers such as Burma and Sierra Leone currently there is a crisis as many more children are being subject to this cruel act. Many world media and Non-governmental organisations such as the guardian and Human rights watch have reported thousands of child soldiers in Myanmar Burma. The Convention on the rights of a child and the Universal declaration of human rights strictly prohibits children in armed conflict further the United Nations further prohibits children in armed conflicts. The International Criminal Court has previously dealt with Thomas Labunga a leader of the liberation forces of the Congo whom used children as young as 10 in his military . However these measures have not been effective as there are still children in conflict due to state sovereignty.

A poem which I have read recently is “Soldier” by Rupert Brooke. The main point in question throughout this poem is appreciation for ones country. I will prove that this is the main point in question during the course of my essay.

The data I collected is from a diagnostic interview for a soldier. The video clip is mainly about a soldier who has reactive depression from the combat field receives the diagnosis from the psychiatrist. The background information is that normally 40% to 50% of soldiers who had depression will return to the full duty after the treatment, and 80% of them will remain on the battlefield. Their officer rated them average and better than average because they get back to the field as a new man who knew what they would expect of. However, this soldier showed in the video clip has severe depression that he will need special treatment. The reason I chose the data is because that I am a soldier in the army, too, however, my job does not require me to be on the front line most of the time. Therefore, I would like to stand at the combat soldier’s point of view to experience their psychological reaction to the battle with the empathy.

This document is from the research I have done on child soldiers in Afghanistan. A child soldier is soldiers that are enlisted under the age of 16. Even though the Taliban claims to only recruit “, those who have achieved mental and physical maturity.” The Afghan police were also getting underage people to join as well. I feel that any way that child soldiers can be stopped should be done.

Your key challenge in a leadership position is taking care of the Soldiers entrusted to your care. Soldiers are our nation’s most important military asset. The Leader who sends the message that Soldiers don’t really matter will generally not be as successful in the long-run as the Leader who is genuinely serious about taking care of his/her Soldiers.

In World War 2 over 65 million people lost their lives. The emotional toll on the families of the lost soldiers soon followed. Throughout World War 2 we gained many allies, but because of all the destruction that the was caused, for example, peoples homes and all their precious materials being stolen or destroyed, we lost a vast majority of those them. The taking of so many lives and destroying of countries can cause a lot of hate on the nations that inflicted this destruction. This can cause young kids to grow up hating other nations and that is when conflict can start. The lives that are lost during wartime are undeniably one of the biggest causes of death. One thing that every country has in common is the death toll that they face in war. Conflict arises no matter what the cause. The way to grow as a world is to control these conflicts with verbal communication instead of using war as an option.
