into an elite fighting force based on strong naval traditions. The basic Marine is amphibious, which means that the warrior is capable of fighting on land and sea. The idea of an amphibious landing was developed through the training of the Marine Raider Battalions, which was tested and perfected in combat. Although there were two Raider Commanders with very different views on how to prepare their marines, Evans Carlson and Merritt Edson were responsible for training lightly armed Marines for amphibious
Masculinity is also referred to as manhood, boyhood or manliness. Examples of character traits which are traditionally cited as masculine include characters such as courage, the fact or state of being independent, and confident and forceful behavior. Through masculinity, it has become almost self-evident that the state of either being a man or woman has become impossible to disentangle in the process of development.

Prisoners of War (POWs): In international law, term used to designate incarcerated members of the armed forces of an enemy, or noncombatants who render them direct service and who have been captured during wartime.1 This definition is a very loose interpretation of the meaning of Prisoners of War (POWs). POWs throughout history have received harsh and brutal treatment. Prisoners received everything from torture to execution. However, in recent times efforts have been
minimal levels of fitness required for day to day jobs. Currently, the United States deploys soldiers more often and in areas of the world that are most physically demanding. The deployment’s operational tempo is demanding for soldiers and at times challenging for leaders to maintain effective readiness. The training requirements are different for day to day jobs, such as a paratrooper who will do regular foot patrols in rough terrain is not the same for an armored vehicle tank driver who regularly
because military interpreter is the only translation occupation that work in an enviroment which the opposing party is an enemy and potentially endanger the life of the interpreter. Another challenging work ethic military must acknowledge when doing the job is the fact that they are always active on duty, as any information needed for translation could be important intelligence. Furthermore, as a part of the military, it is required that interpreters are armed and need to have the mentality that

The government of Japan caused most of these shortages and burdens on the people by over spending in the war between China and the United States. “In 1940, the year before its attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan spent sixty-six percent of its total national budget on the armed services.” (Darman, 39).

The delightful, rough landscape is sharply chilly in winter and bursting hot in summer, the troops enduring in primitive conditions through long extends of pounding weariness
Are we truly enlightened in the advancement of what technology has given for all the branches in the army? From science fiction movies such as The Terminator and I, Robot, robotics has come pretty far in the military industry from building prosthetic arms for the injured veterans to unmanned aircraft that can do surveillance without getting caught under the radar of enemy territory. Military robotics have stretched beyond the previous potential of what it originally supposes to accomplish; the military

discussion in The United States. Many of the fighters the American forces are fighting in Afghanistan come from Pakistan, or at least find a safe haven in the mountains of western Pakistan. In addition, Pakistan is a nuclear-armed country that has a shaky government at best. I find it fascinating that a country that has a government with such a sporadic history filled with attempts to overthrow it and coups maintain a nuclear arsenal. How was this possible? I know that the United States and its allies
