As great as the Army is today it can be directly linked to the personal ethics of leaders and Soldiers alike. Values are the foundation for our organization, and because of the personal ethics of our Soldiers and leaders, we are able to follow...
I know that in reality I don't have any intelligent, rational, and reasonable explanation
for women not to be in combat roles. More than that, I don't want to be seen as misogynous
but I must tell that having women in combat is the biggest...

I would like to start out this paper using two separate quotes regarding history that I feel is relevant. H.G. Wells was quoted as saying, “History is a race between education and catastrophe”. George Santayana was quoted as saying, “Those...
I believe that the methods and tactics employed in both America from 1777-1783
