Helping Families Of Service Members Who Commit Suicide While In Combat By: Dr. Renee Clauselle of Child and Family Psychology | - With a growing number of troops reported to have taken their own lives while in battle, it has been reported that the Pentagon and the White House are now acknowledging service members who committed suicide during combat the same way as other combat related deaths.

As a powerful new drug at the time, many people quickly became addicted until morphine and laudanum use was widespread across the country. During later wars and during times of peace there was l ...

A Review Of The Worlds Top Militaries By: tishbite | -
There are many criteria that you could use to rate the strength of an Army. Size is important but it is not all important. The biggest army in the world is useless if its troops are poorly trained, motivated, and equipped. We have seen this as evidenced by the US war in Iraq in the early 1990s, in Vietnam, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. I look at all of these factors collectively when making this evaluation. Sometimes size is more import ... Tags:military, army, navy, air force, marines, coast guard
The Development Of Truly Waterproof Boots By: Sunil Punjabi | - Throughout history man has been struggling to keep his feet warm and dry in cold, wet and rainy weather. One can understand the problem. The most waterproof materials available were the skins of animals but these still had to be stitched and stitching leaked. Waterproofing to a degree was possible by applying oils and greases with which to seal the stitching but this was always a temporary solution and had to be repeated often. The Eskimos (Inuit) were the most successful in developing waterproo ... Tags:Waterproof boots

Anything that acts as a distraction is such dangerous places can be fatal, and if you have severely aching sore feet that are a massive distraction. A milita ... Tags:Military boot
Let"€™s Remember Our Troops On Memorial Day By: tishbite | - One thing that I like about this nation is that we do take time to honor those who have served whether they are veterans or veterans of a war. Just about all military personnel these days are war veterans because the last decade has been a rough one for our military. Our troops have been on many different deployments in the last few years which have been taxing to them and their families alike. The war has also been taxing on our economy and has left this country in a financial deficit. Tags:memorial day, troops, veterans

Why Choose Military Boots As Everyday Footwear? By: Sunil Punjabi | - Military boots conjure up the image of someone in full military kit in a conflict zone protecting the rest of us.

The Desert Boot Is Perfect For The Desert As The Name Suggests By: Sunil Punjabi | - There are many different ideas on the origin of the Desert boot.

That particular design of boots is said to be based on the Dutch voortrekker boot and also the chukka or turf boots used for the game of Polo.

These women all served in combat support units or combat service support units. The difference is that the units that they served in are trained to fight but that is n ... Tags:women in combat,

The biggest single problem that any front line commander faces is the problem of command and control of his unit under the stress of combat.

Hand to Hand combat refers to weaponless fighting when it is used in military vernacular. I dont think that hand to hand fighting has to be bare handed fighting.
