I am against the inclusion of women in the armed forces based on the utilitarian concepts of the happiness of society as a whole, and the effectiveness of the armed services. I also draw conclusions from the Aristotelian principles of justice and women’s ability to be worthy of being soldiers Since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in 2011, there has been a quiet uproar over the idea of female combat forces in our military. There are strong arguments from either side of the aisle; The maintaining

War has without a doubt changed extremely from what the term originally meant. War is already hard to define, according to Clausewitz, war is “an act of force intended to compel our opponents to fulfil our will… a continuation of political intercourse with a mixture of other means”(Michael Sheehan

Transgender in the Armed Forces Many go to risk their lives to serve our country and unfortunately many don’t come home in the end. Entering our armed forces brings great opportunities, but a lot of stress as well. Being given the freedom and the chance to serve is phenomenal. Every race, gender, or sexual orientation should have a right to join, or so we thought. Why shouldn’t certain minority groups not be allowed to serve? Upon joining the armed forces many benefits step forward, but do some

Introduction Colombia is facing an internal armed conflict for more than six decades. The causes for the Colombian armed conflict can be more than one which include the conflict over land ownership, the existence of marked economic differences, the pursuit of civilians because of their political orientation. It also highlights the persistence of guerrillas with communist orientation and the existence of drug traffickers that have involved their corruption to all levels of the Colombian sociaty.

Maintaining modern and capable armed forces is not an easy task. One of the most important tasks for a country, state and society is to defend itself against attackers and other threats. Military force, as Clausewitz made explicit, is not an end in itself and it only has meaning in relation to the future desired political landscape. When internal political institutions function normally, the wielders of sovereign power are the natural arbiters of last resort among competing interests and values in

As armed citizens, we face unique challenges. We must use a series of skills in tandem, creating the challenge of managing diverse strategies, tactics, techniques and tools, while most of our training is separated. Mixed Martial Arts once faced this challenge, each art specializing in a subset of technical skills that lead to a reduced ability to deal with different styles of attack, eventually the essential fundamentals were fused in cohesive core. The same conundrum faces the armed citizen. Developing

In 1993 President Bill Clinton signed a law that set the policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue, and don’t harass” when dealing with homosexuals serving in the Armed Services. The policy was a compromise to allow homosexuals to legally serve in the military as long as they did not declare their lifestyle or engage in conduct that was in violation of military good order and discipline. Supporters viewed the law as a step forward in achieving equal rights for homosexuals. Opponents remained

you become very accustom to hearing whether it is from your television, parents, or teachers. In America’s history, Americans have always been adamant about upholding the strength of their Armed Forces and making sure no other country becomes a threat of any sort. In the late 1800s, the United States Armed Forces created the military which consist of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. All these forces are obviously there for some reason which are reported on television becoming

Women are vital to the stability and efficiency of all branches of the United States armed forces. Although women’s presence may be necessary to the operation of the military, their placement in combat positions would prove to be a devastating mistake. The body of a woman is not made to brave combat positions, and placing women into positions dominated by men could create a hostile working environment. The atmosphere of battle is already heated, and placing more problems into the equation could lead
