Mr. President, in order to take down the flow of recruits and funds to ISIS, we must make ISIS look unattractive and weak. We must publicize losses that ISIS incurs. Recently, the Kurds, with our help, pushed ISIS out of Sinjar. This has given ISIS less access to fresh supplies and recruits coming through Turkey. Why is this not all over the news? Why do I have to search so hard for positive results in the war on terror? ISIS advertises it’s every success like pornography to the jihadist movement

Hero. What can you do to be labeled a hero? You wanna be like batman or superman, well more power to you because it’s hard work. You could be known as a total bully but you could be these characteristics and soon people may see you aren’t so bad. It takes lots of things to be a hero. First, heros need to be audacious/brave. In passage 2, it states, “I know we’re going to die. Some of us are going to do something about it.” this was said by one of the 4 men on flight 93, the plane got hijacked by

Land of Liberty, a place where all people come to be safe and free. At the heart of counterterrorism is the overarching desire to protect innocent lives. The second goal is “Disrupt, Degrade, Dismantle, and Defeat al-Qa’ida and Its Affiliate and Adherents” (Forest & Howard, 2013, p. 796). Al-Qa’ida, the terrorist organization responsible for the attacks of 9/11, presents a particularly relevant threat to the United States

The end of the Cold War impacted many changes in U.S. and Department of Defense (DoD) policies, but it had almost no impact on Army intelligence interrogations. Army interrogators conducted intelligence interrogations in force on force conflicts because interrogations were a wartime task. The applicable policies and regulations for conventional warfare interrogations were still valid thus requiring minimal to no changes for Army doctrinal and national policies after the Cold War. The Geneva Conventions

anthropology section assists in two functional areas of the DMORT operation: (1) assisting with the initial evaluation, documentation and sorting of human remains in the morgue triage, and (2) providing comprehensive forensic anthropological documentation of human remains in the morgue” (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team, 2006, p. 49). The forensic anthropologist is expected to provide a detailed biological profile of the victims remains. This includes: sex, age, stature, ancestry, as well

The attack on USS Cole was a suicide bombing conducted by Al Qaeda member, Ibrahim al-Thawr and Absullah al-Misawa under the supposed supervision of Bin Laden which resulted in the death of at least 6 American sailors and left 40 other individuals injured (BBC, 2000). In response Clinton stated before that any assaults could be launched against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan that the CIA or FBI had been sure enough that they ‘would be willing to stand up in public and say, we believe that Bin Laden…’ was

What comes to mind when you hear the word leader? Is it someone who is accommodating or brave? Are they inspiring? Or do they lead the way? According to Webster’s dictionary, a leader is someone who has commanding authority or influence. In today’s society some of our top leaders include; Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and Oprah Winfrey. But did you know that some of the world’s most influential leaders include; Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler? On two opposite sides of the spectrum, we

September 11, 2001, a modern infamous day in American history. It was on this day, that terrorists, some who were taught in the 1980s by America, set out to make a large declaration in the World. America’s response to the events that unfolded, changed the very way America dealt with its foreign policy. On that ill-fated day, then sitting president, George W. Bush was in the process of reading to an elementary class in Florida. Once news broke of what had taken place, Bush set out to destroy terrorism

I have never once considered the possibility of WWIII. To me, I’ve always lived in my own protective bubble: living under the same roof with both of my parents, eating three meals a day, thinking that the most traumatic thing in my life was when Rhannon Zhang made fun of my speech impediment in second grade. To others, their world is entirely different. Their world consisted of living on a diet of canned meat, impenetrable bread made from straw, bowls of watery pea-soup with a few lumps of horsemeat

Within the constraints of our modern government, lines can be drawn as to how relevant older principles remain. Civil disobedience as a tool used to serve and further the people's rights, to gain a greater voice for the cause of the greater good, is undeniably a great alternative to violent means. This does not mean, however, the ideas of Henry David Thoreau's non-interference represent the same progression that it would have during the political circumstances of his time. It is arguable that peaceful
