- Relief For American In The Form Of Personal Grants
By: John Goldman | - Being an American soldier means lot of respect, and honor but at the same time disgusting too, as every part of their life is on a razor's edge, never knowing when their time would come and they have to sacrifice their hearths and homes and even their lives.

- Returning Soldiers
By: soldier | - The War on Terror coming to an end, it is time for our soldiers to return to their home according to the Iraq De-Escalation Act.

- David H Brooks Foundation
By: soldier | - David H Books has been associated with providing protective apparel to the US military as the founder of DHB Industries Inc. This experience has lent him an understanding of the plight of the soldiers especially when they are wounded and returning to home. In many cases even the Government sheds its responsibility towards them and leave them neglected and without much of a means to support themselves. Such a situation is not only tough on the soldiers themselves but also for the families.

- Mercenaries 2: World In Flames
By: fin2000 | - There have been some very mixed receptions with EA's offering in the form of Mercenaries 2. Some have loved it; some have lambasted it or tried to kill it with fire. Whatever the opinion has been, it has required a lot of playing time. It could have been less to be perfectly honest, but there is something a little compelling about running around the free-roaming world that Mercenaries 2 is set in.
Taking on the role of one of three mercs, each with their own bonus, is a blast. Usu ...

- Wounded Soldiers And David H Brooks
By: soldier | - It is very difficult for us to imagine what our soldiers go through in a battle field or in the borders of the country. And they take all these pains so that we can sleep peacefully at night feeling ourselves safe. So the least we can do for them is to lend our moral support and understanding. This is exactly what David H Brooks does and much more. Heading a hugely successful business of protective apparel he has started a foundation to help the returning soldiers settle down comfortably in a ci ...

- Easy Ways To Find Military Discounts
By: Felicity Grant | - Military compensation is a complicated system with many components but the foundation of compensation, or salary starts with basic pay.

Congress can also enact raises that exceed these percentages as they did for 2008 and 2009.

- Theoretical Soldiers
By: marcashton | - When the US first went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, they had a lot of things going for them technology, numbers and of course a cause with which to motivate their troops. So why are they still fighting 5 years down the line and there is no end in sight? And why were US troops and fighting strategies so inefficient at the start of the war? The answer is that the US troops had a lot of theory but very little experience in the conditions they were facing in Afghanistan and Iraq. There ...

- The Christian Right And The Pledge Of Allegiance-is There A Contradiction?
By: Aaron Taylor | - Imagine a grade school student from China who goes to a public school and is asked to swear an oath to the Chinese state every day along with the rest of his or her class at school.

- The Politics Of Fear And The Fort Dix Six
By: Doug Ragan | - How many times have you been watching or listening to a left wing pundit when they accuse the right of fear mongering? It happens quite a bit, I have even heard it at work. Very little media coverage went into three separate terrorist leaders thanking the US for installing a democratic majority. When I pointed out the very obscure articles to a co-worker he accused the writers of fear mongering. When the Administration defends its perfectly Constitutional program of listening to phone calls made ...

By: Davinos Greeno | - A look at the fate of the 300,000 child soldiers fighting in conflicts around the world.
Children have been in the news a lot these days. Rarely, however, has it been for positive reasons.

The Israelis and the Palestinians are killing each other again, and the sight is far from pretty. The most shocking aspect of the latest uprising, though, is the fact that a large ...

- From City Slicker To Desert Dirt Devil
By: Peter Vermeeren | - When you think of camouflage, the first thing that probably comes to mind is standard issue greens that look like someone took three or four paintbrushes with different shades of green and splashed them randomly on the clothes. You probably also think of extremely insulated and thick material that almost feels like canvas. Thanks to modern technology, testing, and government awareness of the changing scenes of war, this is not always what is referred to when talking about camouflage anymore. Whi ...

Here is an idea that defies the present mindset, yet will bring the honor and integrity of our nation back to where it used to be. And it may save a lot of young soldiers lives as well.

- Number Of Troops And Facts About Us Combat Infantry
By: Victor Epand | - The 9 to one is actually kind of low by today's standard. The service tail has gotten longer. The numbers you throw out are pretty accurate. I read a book called Killing Zone. This was just after a large downsizing of the army. The author lamented the death of shooters in the service. The numbers he gave were around 100,000 shooters that are combat infantry from all services.
Squads in the US Army were reduced to 9, the Marines kept theirs at 12. A platoon then is X3 or 27 and 36 ...
