Military Recruiting Difficulties
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the US military's ongoing problems attracting and retaining qualified recruits. In that, the military and US business have much the same story. Unemployment is at a 30-year low, military service is fully voluntary, and branches of the armed forces are having difficulty recruiting necessary personnel. Some of that difficulty may be the result of attempting to recruit from among Generation X individuals, but they are approaching an age at which few will be entering military life. Next on board is Generation Y, and the military should have far greater results with them. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

National Security Demands and the Future
[ send me this paper ]
This 16 page report briefly discusses the concepts related to national security demands, defense, and warfare in the 21st century. Between the ever-increasing degree of technological advancement taking place throughout the world and the process of globalization of nations, it is only sensible to anticipate an entirely new mindset regarding national defense, security options, and the possible disasters inherent in the so-called “rogue states” gaining access to materials and technology that can bring them to a capability level equal to that of the nations once referred to as the “super-powers.” This paper focuses on what the author sees as the most logical model for strategic planning in terms of warfare in the next ten to twenty years -- the United States Air Force’s already existing model of “expeditionary aerospace force” or EAF theory. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Postwar Acceleration And Slowdown Of Growth
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. In a perfect world, there would be no war. However, inasmuch as this is far from being a perfect world, the aspect of war carries with it many seemingly unrelated advantages to help fortify economic and political standing. What typically occurs at the end of war is a combination of growth acceleration and slowdown as societies attempt to piece their communities back together. The writer discusses how after all the carnage is assessed, countries can look forward to a stronger economy and a renewed sense of stability; however, at the same time there also exists a breakdown in this growth process that requires a major jump-start.

Real-Time Computing In Military Systems

If pertinent information is not retrieved in a timely manner, it could spell disaster for global interaction. This is precisely why real-time computing is essential within military systems.

Slow Dance to Pearl Harbor
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of Slow Dance to Pearl Harbor: A Tin Can Ensign in Prewar America by William J. Ruhe, a 1939 Naval Academy graduate. The book demonstrates that life truly was different in the years before World War II, and it gives insight in how prewar intelligence reports could conclude that Americans were soft, unprepared, complaining and ready to be overtaken despite the geographical size of the nation. This is a tale of a young and inexperienced officer looking for love and adventure, seeing the world as the Navy had promised and generally enjoying life even though pressures in Europe were building. There is little social commentary here, only tales of practical jokes and dealing with the authoritarian captain of the destroyer Roe. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Tet Offensive

The Defense Of Superior Orders
[ send me this paper ]
21 pages in length. Leadership bears its own consequence in that leaders must take full responsibility of detrimental aftermath in the wake of their orders. In most circumstances, leaders endow their subordinates with orders that do not necessarily compromise their integrity as human beings; however, in other situations the orders that are put upon the underlings are such that they go against the very grain of both God's law and the law of the land. It is under these particular conditions that the defense of superior orders comes into play, inasmuch as the subordinate can readily claim that he was merely doing his duty by following through with the order, no matter that such orders might mean the massacre of millions of innocent victims as in the Holocaust.

The Importance Of The Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES) For Senior Noncommissioned Officers
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Knowledge is the backbone of effective application, and nowhere is this more apparent than within the military's stringent boundaries. Without proper and continuing education, soldiers and officers alike would become stagnant in their ability to tackle the vast array of challenges inherent to military existence. As such, one can readily understand the importance of the Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES) for senior noncommissioned officers; even though the rank of senior noncommissioned officer reflects a sense of expertise and knowledge in and of itself, it is relatively easy for one to argue that no individual is exempt from furthering one's enlightenment no matter how experienced he or she happens to be.

The Pursuit Of Power By William H. McNeill
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page analysis of William H. McNeill's book, The Pursuit of Power: Technology, Armed Force and Society Since A.D. 1000, McNeill contends that European military power after the year 1000 A.D. is an aberration. One of McNeill's basic premises put forth in this volume is that this aberration separates the development of military power after 1000 A.D. from the development of warfare and the structure of military organizations prior to this date. McNeill attributes this aberration to the fact that military development merged with marketplace behavior. Bibliography lists 1 source.

The Treaty Of Versailles: Was The United States Refusal To Sign The Right Choice? YES!
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Peace was a long way off with the Treaty of Versailles -- a covenant that was to bring world powers to pacification – due to the fact that the United States Congress refused to sign. This refusal shocked and angered other nations who depended upon America's participation as a means by which to move forward with the issue at hand. What might have been the positive aspects of signing the treaty? Clearly, France would not have felt so vulnerable and insecure, since Britain would not support it without American assistance. The writer discusses why America's refusal to sign the treaty was the right choice. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

When assessing the myriad opinions historians hold with regard to the Vietnam War's pacification, one can easily surmise that while some are as adamantly opposed as they are approving, there are those whose convictions reside somewhere in between.

The foundation makes vital services possible, but for all the good the foundation does, it has achieved the position within many of the agencies it helps support of being their primary source of income, or at least being so important to the continued level of service provided that losing United Way income would present real hardship.

World Trade Center And Pentagon Terrorist Attacks: Remote Or Immediate Causes?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Freedom represents many things, not the least of which is the envy and hatred of those who do not have – or want others to have – the precious commodity for which Americans live and die. The recent terrorist attacks upon the World Trade Center and Pentagon reflect the loathing that stems from severe oppression, backwards thinking and a desire to rid the world of those not deemed worthy. Interesting, however, is the fact that Osama bin Laden and his trained followers purport to follow the teachings of Muhammad, one of the most peace-loving profits history has ever known, leaving a significant sense of confusion regarding their true motivation for this most inhumane of all attacks upon humanity.
