The Naval Actions Of The War Of Afghanistan

I try my best to be honest and keep my integrity no matter the consequence because as we know bad news does not age well with time, it gets worse. Enthusiasm is a great thing as well, no matter how hard things get if you have enthusiasm and a positive attitude you can pretty much over come anything that is thrown at you, and it’s also contagious even if you have to fake it, it will bring up the moral of your marines and they will in turn motivate you so it no longer is a fake motivation it’s a reality. Baring is important in ways. I don’t really have much to say on it because there isn’t much to it and I personally think it’s not something that is dire to have 100% down pat I guess. I mean yes it’s good to be able to have when the time comes but I guess I don’t find it that important. Next would be unselfishness. It’s a great this when you have junior marines, it shows them that you care about them and that you are willing to bend over backwards for them in they are in need. It makes it easy on the junior marines to approach their leader when they should. Courage is a also a great thing to have its like I said in enthusiasm if you show courage to stand up for what is right and what should be done other will follow and you will make a good name for yourself rather than your name be dragged through the dirt for the not so courageous actions. Knowledge is always a good thing to have for any marine not just

The Marine Corps does two things: make marines and win our nation’s battles. Winning battles depend on how well we make marines. Those who have earned the title have been polished and honed by attentive mentoring. We have to remember that to sustain the transformation

The Marines are a highly mobile amphibious attack force. Marines are trained to attack from the water and establish a beach head, an area of control on foreign soil. After the Marines take territory, other armed forces such as the US Army move in to maintain control, while the Marines move on. Marines are mobile, lightweight, and very rapid. I would compare the Marines to the head of the spear, wedging in to get a foothold and racing ahead once the land has been secured. In addition to acting as a lightweight attack force from the ocean, Marines are also perfectly capable of taking territory on land. Marines are trained for rapid deployment, and are often the first US military personnel on site. Marines also guard American embassies overseas, providing embassy security and safety. In volatile areas, being a Marine embassy guard is a very risky job.

60 veterans were interviewed threw out this story , so the author gets all of the experiences in their own words. we learn about their reasons for enlisting; their arrival at Montford Point and the training they received there; their lives in a segregated military. A very great bio of one of the characters was the one of Herman Darden Jr. He begins to talk about the reputation of the marines at the time which was marines were rough and ready to go. He then talks about his reason for joining which was "because marines are supposed to be the first to battle and the first ones home, so I don't want to stay out that long". Even though the racial barrier between the blacks and whites was big alot of these black men still found it in them to join the marines and fight with honor.

On November 10th, 1775 the Marine Corps was established in Tun Tavern during the Revolutionary War. Since that time, the Marines have played an important role in securing America’s freedom through countless battles. The Marines have distinguished themselves as an elite force specializing in military tactics which assist in defeating the enemy under any circumstance. The Marine Corps is a small branch with limited personnel which allows them the

I would like to share with you some of my experiences. I joined the military in 1996, after high school and I went directly to Marine boot camp. There I learned some of my most important personal values such as pride, perseverance, team work, and attention to detail. Marine Corps boot camp is an experience like no other I have had in the world and one I am immensely proud to have. I rose in the ranks quickly, I started as

The formidable force known throughout the world today for their courageous acts of bravery, started out from two battalions raised with the early continental navy on November 10th 1775. These battalions were started for amphibious landings with the naval fleets, the first of which was conducted by Captain Samuel Nicolas who later on became the Marines first Commandant. After the Revolutionary War though, the Marines were disbanded as the naval war ships were sold to deal with the crippling debt the new nation had gained fueling its Armies and Navies during the 8 years of fighting for independence from the British Empire. Almost 20 years afterwards the USMC (United States Marine Corps) was reinstated and have seen almost every major and minor engagement that has involved the United States of America’s assets and people (USMC History Division Web).

The United States Armed Forces are only for the rough and tough. I learned about the military through commercials on television, my family members who veterans, and recruiters walking are thought my neighborhood and at school when I was a child. “Join the most powerful military in the world,” said a military poster I had seen walking home from work one day and the “Be All That You Can Be” Army commercials played while I was watching television. I believed that if I was rough and tough enough to join the military then I could do anything I put my mind to. It became a challenge and I decided to take on the challenge.

Every Marine knows that we fight for each other and nothing will ever come between the brotherhood of Marines. The book Leading Marines talks about three major keys Ethos, Foundation, and Challenges of the United States Marine Corps.

Even though I have been wanting to join the Military since middle school, I knew I had to consider what my family and peers wanted from me. In the end, the Marine Corps is the same as any other culture out there, and there are many risks and benefits associated with every one. With most students heading off to college, it is extremely easy to get involved in risky behaviors, such as drinking or experimenting with drugs. With the risks, however, you will ultimately form a bond with those around you and develop a sense of belonging. I fully understand the risks of joining the Marine Corps, but I strongly believe the experience will pay off in the end. There is no such thing as a good or bad culture.However, even though it is possible to fit into various cultures, I believe it is possible to get involved with the wrong culture. In order to fit in and develop a sense of belonging, you need to withhold the same values as everyone else in that group. If you are in a group and disagree with the lifestyle you are following, then you are simply wasting your time. In the Marine Corps, honor, courage, and commitment are values that have been part of the organization since the beginning. These are values I take pride in following and will continue to display throughout my life. In conclusion, the Marine Corps is a culture within a culture; a subculture if you will. As an American, it is my obligation to serve my country and represent the values of hard work of every other American. Enlisting into the Marine Corps is my first step towards proving my patriotism and loyalty to this country, and in the end I will have infinite values and lessons to pass on to the future generations of

I joined the Marine Corps looking for a challenge. I wanted to open doors for a new career and longed to have a positive impact on the world around me. Looking back five years later, I realize I found all that I originally sought, but I’ve also found something profoundly satisfying and meaningful that I never knew I was missing.

The world has been reluctant to call the war in Afghanistan a religious war and has instead emphasized the political motives. This paper will argue that the United States and allied invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 should be a full five stars on the BBC audit, declaring it a war based on religion. The Islamic State’s attack on September 11, 2001 cause the United States and its idea of democracy to assume the role of a symbolic religion.

A naval officer and strategist whose 1890 book, The Influence of Sea Power upon History: 1660–1783, was a theoretical treatise as well as a history that argued for American national greatness through control of the seas, Mahan was in his time a strong influence on politicians such as Theodore Roosevelt and on a generation of foreign-policy theorists. His contribution to the American century has been largely forgotten. Notwithstanding, more than ninety percent of the world’s trade is conducted by water, and the world’s waterways are and will remain the most efficient means for transporting goods. (Allan R. Millett, 2012)

The Marine Corps is not just an organization but instead it is a mindset, a spirit if you will,

Everyday a man screams him self blue in the face to make them a trained killer, teaching them the most valuable assets, so they can come home to their the loved ones. This all a very complex process and nothing feels better than finally receiving that Eagle Globe and Anchor and earning the title, United States Marine. That sense of accomplishment and self-gratification cannot ever be measured by mathematics or science because it’s personal and differentiates from man to man.
