Why I Want To Join The Military

I would stay in the continental Army during the revolution despite the death and sickness. I would stay because of how low the percent of death and sickness was, i am apart of something huge for my country, and we were still winning battles even though many of the soldiers were sick. According to Document A, about 49% of the army were getting sick. Even though this is a large percentage the amount of people that were fine is slightly larger at 51%. In Document B, the engraving shows George Washington talking about a plan. This is another reason I would stay in the continental army this shows he knew what he was doing and could lead us to victory. In Document C, even though Dr. Albigence Waldo says everyone was getting sick they were still

Reenlist, or Give Up? The air is cold, and full of smoke. I can hear people moaning, pain caused by sickness. Feet and hands numb, losing all feeling in my body.

joined the military, but is a bold passion for your nation the sole reason to join? The answer is

If you were asked to walk 18 miles outside of Philadelphia, in the winter time with disease and death all around , would you say yes? To say yes meant you were committing to a team, to fight , and win the war.There would be hard times but to win the war at the end would be a big success. George Washington commanded his army to go on this journey. To say no to this you would be safe, but you would not gain wisdom and strength. I would want to leave with the soldiers because I could help the sick and injured while being a part of a team to fight for the country's rights.

There are a lot of graduates fresh out of high schools that make the decision to use the military. There are some people that join the military because that is a fast and easy choice for them. The military gives everyone a wide variety of options. College for instance, the military allows you to serve your country and still have time to attend college and get a degree if you choose to do that. People that choose to join the military get the option to go to college anytime they feel during their military career. The military pays for part or all the tuition. The military has four different branches, Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. Each branch offers different trades. Air Force for example, teaches people to fly, have mechanical skills,

The draft policy for World War II (WWII) provided a good example of a mandatory military service policy that helped build and integrate the military and civilian culture (Dalehite and Birskyte 3). This helped to bring the country together in unity due to the seriousness of the cause. People showed a greater sense of “esprit de corps” or morale and a greater sense of duty during this timeframe. The resulting effect that this had on the nation was strong and was further strengthen by the return of the servicemen and women home from the War. Their influence and the nation’s patriotic zeal imbued all with the will to sacrifice and serve their country in any capacity, thus motivated by the common good. This level of patriotism and service has not been seen again until the events of 9/11 brought the nation together.

In the article “Lean In: What would you do if you weren’t afraid,” Sandberg modernizes feminism for the woman of today. Sandberg addresses many points of gender inequality that are still present in today’s society. She urges woman to not fall into passive gender roles, but rather, to be “Ambitious”. Her goal is that young women just entering the work force will not only continue, but also aim high. One point that

The military draft is now a thing of the past since World War II and the Vietnam War. Today the military draft seems obsolete with the rise in volunteers. Over the past half-century, military drafts have controlled the fates of eligible men on and off the battlefield. Thankfully this is not the case today with qualified men and women signing up and risking their lives for their country. With the United States at war in the Middle East, having plenty of volunteers is essential in the effort to win. In the United States volunteers join the military from diverse backgrounds, with different reasons for joining, but, they all share the idea to serve. With a growing military force, it is essential to examine how each reason inspires the

Coming to the United States was a huge change in my life, but joining the Army after less than one year to arrive in the United States was an even harder change for me. Not being able to speak English and to have an insecurity though for being small, put a temporary blockage in my goals and dream. That is the reason I considered that I enlisted as an E minus one as opposed to

Ideal- The Marines Embody more of my personal views and ideals then the other branches of the armed services.

The United States Army is one of the main factors that allows America to be a free and democratic country. The Army defends, protects, and honors the United States of America. Ever since I was a young boy, I saw greatness in the United States Army and hoped to one day be a part of it. I always envisioned myself in a leadership position and when I decided to join the Army, I knew being an officer was for me. To me, being an officer in the U.S. Army is a career unlike any other. There are many opportunities as an officer in the Army to advance, further education, and grow as a person. The army allows you to switch your MOS and attend more training to further education or to change careers completely which is something

I would like to attend a military academy because I would like to be the best that I can be, while at the same time, serving my country. Education at the AFA is comparable to the best universities in the country, including my prospective major, Astronautical Engineering; so, the service academy is an excellent academic choice for me. Additionally, only the best-of-the-best attend these academies, and being surrounded by such great people will be terrific to make new friends and network.

In the essay, “What You Can Do For Your Country,” James Herbert Bushman speaks of instituting a mandatory military service requirement of three years, starting before the age of twenty-four. Bushman states his belief that as a requisite of citizenship, you must serve in a branch of the military. He claims that a necessary service will benefit more than only the military, but will benefit individual people as well by increasing the feeling of unity, the knowledge and skillset of the individual, and will grant equal pay and benefits for all in service. Bushman suggests that everyone who is unwilling to serve their country is no better than a freeloader or a beggar on a street corner, mooching off others’ efforts and earnings. Similarly, he repeats the old phrase ‘freedom is not free,’ and insinuates that everyone must work equally for their share of freedom.

No matter what branch of the military an individual decides to join, the one thing that is for sure is the individual learns to live by a specific code, usually specified by the branch of service. According to Ford et. al, the number one reason that youth decide to join the military is because of propensity or a natural tendency to behave in a certain way (Ford, Gibson, Griepentrog, & Marsh, 2014). Although, this is not the only reason for individuals, other reasons individuals decide to serve their country can be economical, adventure, college opportunities, or even a family tradition.

As a young man entering my senior year of high school, my mind races as I try to figure out what it is that I’ll commit my life to. What will be the driving passion, the purpose of my existence, the reason I get out of bed every morning to face another day of this life? Some people would try to encourage me to choose a career simply for its potential to make me wealthy. However, looking at the degenerate lives of the rich and the famous around the world, its apparent to me that the pursuit of earthly riches alone isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. I’d rather spend my days in pursuit of something more fulfilling. As far as I can tell from my
