The United States And Its Impact On The Nation Reconstruction And Redeveloping Regional Armed Forces

States not only to achieve financial prosperity, but to get out of the chaotic environment that

A) The title of the book is The New American Militarism: How Americans are Seduced by War and the author is Andrew Bacevich. The book was published in New York, New York by the publisher Oxford University Press in the year 2005. It is the first edition and contains 270 pages.

In order for something occur, generally there must be something that predates that occurrence. This rule applies to politics as well, for if a government has a particular characteristic, there must be a reason behind it. One cannot simply make a good government out of thin air, without having reason or an idea on how to achieve the end goal of a good government. I still believe a good government is one that sustains itself, adapts to the times in which it lives, protects itself and its citizenry from threats, and reflects what works for the society it is ruling. There is hesitation to use specifics, and for a good reason. Governments over time share very little in characteristics, but they do share governmental needs. Most needs boil down

Sounds like a waste of improvement, yet, America is known for intervening into other countries conflicts, like the Great War.

suffered the same issues during the 2003 Iraq War and made the same mistakes the British made in the American Revolutionary war. The U.S. failed to allocate the proper number of troop strength. The lack of control of the civilian population and the mistakes the U.S. made in Abu Ghraib became the rally cry for the insurgents. (Montanus, 2005) The United States initially losing the hearts and minds of the populous and as a result there were more Iraqis supporting the efforts against the United States. The difference between the U.S. now and the British 200 years ago, the U.S. adapted and formed a strategy to help the local populace. The U.S. opened dialogues with the Tribes to resolve conflicts and issues in order to win their support for the war. The U.S. assisted the Iraqi’s create a democratic government, provided logistic support and training of the country’s security forces, and resulted in stabilizing the country. (Montanus, 2005) The U.S. established a Counter-Insurgency

The history of the United States is riddled with military engagements and warfare. To the present day, the world knows the United States as a militaristic power. During the 20th the century the United States participated in many military specially the World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War.

The U.S. military made the same mistakes initially in the 2003 Iraq War. The U.S. failed to allocate the proper number of troop strength, failed to adapt to the terrain, and failed to foresee the used of improvised explosive device (IED). The U.S. also lacked control of the civilian population, and the mistakes in Abu Ghraib became the rally cry for the insurgents, which the Iraqis rose to support the insurgency. (Montanus, 2005) However, the lessons learned from the British 200 years ago, the U.S. adapted and formed a concept to win the hearts of mine of the people into their counterinsurgency operation. The U.S. allocated more troops, adapted to the terrain, and employed new method to defeat IEDs. Furthermore, they opened dialogues with the Tribes, resolved conflicts, and addressed issues in order to win their support for the war. The U.S. assisted the Iraqi’s create a democratic government, provided logistic support, training

The final chapters of “Nation Within: The History of the American Occupation” demonstrate little conclusion; however, this may have been conducted with purpose, allowing each reader to form their own conclusion. Except, having a reader form their own conclusion after giving a one sided argument is rather unfair for the parties involved. Understandably, yes Hawaii was a nation conquered, not annexed; but there also must be more to the story.

The Continental Army under the command of George Washington, while in the midst of the war on the British during the American Revolutionary war, employed militia as a supplementary force to help defeat their adversary. The hybrid threat here exists within the relationship between a conventional force (the Continental Army) and an unconventional force (the militia). Now, the hybrid threat text says that militia closely resembles or parallels the definition of paramilitary, but can also be an extension of a nation-state’s armed forces as well. In either case, the hybrid threat exists.

War is unpredictable and each case found in American history consists of unique variables, making it nearly impossible for an individual to know precisely what actions will results in the best outcomes. Despite the fact that there may be similarities and comparison between a few cases of war, and that there are lessons learned from past mistakes and triumphs, the United States, or any country, does not have a foolproof guideline on how to handle wars when they appear. To be Commander-in-Chief of the United States military is a massive task in and of itself, without adding all the additional issues the President has upon his plate throughout his presidency. To be a president as war, is always a possibility for those who hold the office, however no president has a true way to prepare himself for what precisely to do when such a time comes. All wars have different factors and varying solutions, all presidents have diverse personalities and methods of handling a situation, thus there is no way to predict how much power a president needs in order to fulfill his main priority under the role of president as commander-in-chief: To take the actions best suited for keeping the American public safe. This debate of how much power a president should be allotted under the crisis of war, is very important, because give the president too little and they may not have enough power to effectively control the situation, but give him too much and the president may exploit their power gained

Anytime there is a national crisis the United States will send aide whether it be money, volunteer workers, medical professionals, or even militia. Though we have our own issues, we intervene whenever our assistance is believed to be needed. In this case, Iraqi and Syria called upon us, but by fighting their battle are we really helping them? If you're always there for someone, helping them every time they encounter an obstacle or barrier, how will they ever learn to overcome it themselves? Well, the answer is they simply won't. The nations will become so dependent on America, that once our troops leave they won't be able to function. If our troops continue to instruct their troops on the methods of battle, they will be a lot better off. There is no need to send anymore teachers, they must learn to defend themselves.

For the United States military to take an active role in foreign nation’s problems or situations, the President and congress have to approve the mission. The US military has played numerous roles throughout many different regions of the world. Military regions for the US are forming and processing multiple armed forces, which maintain relations and safety for certain areas of the world. The United States of America’s main goal when it comes to stationing the military in different regions of the world is too influence foreign perception. America focuses on influencing democracy, and a secure country for people throughout the world. “During the 1990s, American foreign policy focused on consolidating its success” (U.S. Military Policy). Foreign

No global definition exists for states described as “fragile”, “failing”, or failed because they come in all shapes and sizes. Yet, countries that have failed at the basic responsibilities of governance and sovereign authority are generally lumped into this group. Fragile, failing, or failed states share similar characteristics including their inability to control their borders, loss of authority over insurgents, gangs, and warlords, and loss of legitimacy internally/internationally. Examples relevant today of countries that are fragile or failing, and on the path to failed status include Iraq and many of the Middle Eastern countries struggling to maintain their autonomy in the fight against ISIS. Other important indicators of failed states include:

Gone are the days when the stability and strength of the states was determined by their

In the following analysis, I will try to explore the challenges the international community, led by the US, face in its state-building efforts in Afghanistan. Standing at the border between central and south asia, Afghanistan has a chequered and violent recent history. Acting as a buffer zone between British and Russian colonialism in the 18th and 19th century (Marsden 2009, p 72), Afghanistan became completely independent from British rule in the 1920s. During the reign of Zahir Shah ( 1933-1973), the country enjoyed relative peace and a process of modernization was under way in the kemalist model (Rashid 2000, p 76). However, in the 1970s Afghanistan saw military coup, communist takeover and a Soviet invasion. In the late 1970s, the People’s Democratic
