Recommended: Respect in the military

The author is indicating what it truly means for a service member to be committed to their job, the cause and most of all their country. With commitment comes honor and respect to the comrades, and commanding officers. The text states, “The conditions and demands of the military have “historically been perceived as requiring a total commitment to the military – typically a commitment to one’s unit, the unit’s mission and its members” (Hall, 2016, p. 49). Having honor means to strive to go above and beyond the call of duty. This commitment to honor can be put to the test and proven during a time of war.
The military service member take an oath upon enlistment which includes, I solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United

  • Analysis Of 'The Warrior Ethos'

    738 Words  | 2 Pages

    military members who share harsh, traumatic, or even funny events obviously become closer through the bond of a mutual experience. This is particularly true for Marine infantry; many Marine are brought up in different areas of the US, with different values, ages, religious and political beliefs. However different we all might look on the outside, the fact that we’ve all been through good times and bad with each other makes us closer than any civilian could understand. After being a Marine, I find that I’m close to, and always will be, than my civilian friends who I’ve known for years. Along with this, Pressfield talks about how, under all the glory and allure of fighting for one’s country exists the real reason that warriors fight; for our brothers in arms. Political beliefs, government stances, and flags go out the window, only to be replaced by concern for the safety and well-being of the men to our left and right. All of these things are reasons why it is difficult for civilians to understand what it’s like to be a warrior. This is perhaps embodied best in our motto, Semper Fidelis; Always Faithful, to our brothers and those who depend on

  • Analysis Of Sense Of Community By Dr. Jay Grossman

    One thing that stands out is the author’s approach to the betterment of the community. Aside from trying to recruit individuals into the service, I believe he might also acknowledge Grossman for what he’s doing to the homeless citizens of Los Angeles. We can assume the author appreciates creating a better and easier life for people. Most importantly, however, it is agreeable to say that the article implies that the military is what the author remarkably values. I feel this way because in all corners of the article, it is touched upon. For example, the author prints, “The qualities you acquire while in the military are qualities that stay with you forever,” and “Today’s Military: See it for what it really is.” Additionally, he informs us that Grossman has been featured in magazines highlighting those who have served in the U.S. Military. He’s complimented the military multiple times in his work. I believe he also wishes to expose some admirable things about the military and shine light to it, in hopes of gaining followers and supporters for the

  • Analysis Of Joining Military Doesn T Make You A Hero

    We need to stop diluting certain definitions to make our country feel good about it self. Steven explains “One reason Americans have come to view soldiers as our only protectors is that we have accepted the idea that our country is under permanent threat from fanatics who want to kill us and destroy our way of life” (Kinzer). Furthermore, if we look back on history, we can see this was not always the case. Steven explains during other times of uncertainty, like during the Cold War or Vietnam War, the people felt differently towards the soldiers. (Kinzer). I feel Kinzer has hit on an attitude that needs illumination so we can see more clearly. While Steve talks about definitely honoring soldiers who’ve performed above and beyond, he fails to discuss some basic ideas that support his position. One of the points he should have addressed is training. 100 percent of military members have some form of combat training. The more likely they are to be in combat, the more combat oriented training they receive. So with this in mind, what is more extraordinary? Someone trained in combat tactics performing their duties in a combat environment, or individuals who find themselves in a chaotic situation that is completely outside their norm, and then perform some extraordinary feat? Doing your job as trained, to me, doesn’t fit the definition of

  • Essay On Mandatory Military Service

    356 Words  | 1 Pages

    Mandatory military service would mean that the United States is not a country of freedom and that any attempt by the government to force us to give up two years of our lives is un-American. We have the freedom to choose how we want to live and enact our lives, not Congress. We’d also come to respect some of the many freedoms and values our country has, since many freedoms are lost when they are put into the service, specifically in boot camp. Many men and women have died to protect those rights, but many of us take them for granted, myself included. We don’t really understand how good we have it.
