Book excerpt: Over the past few years there has been much talk and a fair amount of writing about an apparent clash of cultures within the Army. The cultures in question being the "warrior" culture and the "kinder, gentler" culture. So much has been made of the purported issue that General Shinseki commissioned the subject as one of the research projects at the Army War College. This strategy research paper examines this subject and makes the case that by putting an increased emphasis on marksmanship skill Army wide the issue will become moot. The point being that the enemy is just as dead no matter the gender nor temperament of the soldier who squeezed the trigger.

Book Synopsis The Damascus Paradox by : Wanda L. Good
Download or read book The Damascus Paradox written by Wanda L. Good and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current literature strongly suggests that today's U.S. Army is an army in crisis: a faltering force, driven by political correctness and beset with a host of problems from recruiting and retention to morale and readiness. A number of writers have articulated, some clearly and some by implication, a root cause for this worsening situation - the supplanting of the 'Code of the Warrior' by a 'kinder, Gentler, Army' and its antecedent the feminization of the military. We all react viscerally to the mere mention of the 'Code of the Warrior' or a 'Kinder, Gentler, Army'. The warrior conjures images of the skilled, dedicated, tough soldiers who defended their country at any cost and against fearful odds in places like Antietam and Omaha Beach. Kinder and gentler evokes formations of emasculated, quivering individuals who could not march together, let alone act in concert to defend their country in battle. Obviously, these two visions represent polar extremes with reality hidden somewhere in the vast shadowlands between the two. I propose this paper in order to seek out that reality. In doing so, I shall use one standard as my guide: the primary purpose of any military organization is to wage war and win. Certainly peacekeeping, nation building, and other missions may become vital and necessary. However, such missions are ancillary purposes. On the aforementioned basis, I propose to begin the search by attempting to define the warrior's code and the ethic followed by its adherents. Next, I will explore a kinder, gentler army with a view toward precisely explaining this rather murky theory. I will then examine how each concept has acted to influence the current shape of our force. Finally, the analysis section will assess the impact of 'The Code of the Warrior' and 'The Kinder, Gentler, Army' on the primary and secondary purposes of a military organization.

Book Synopsis The Code of the Warrior & the "kinder, Gentler Army" by : Mark J. Eshelman
Download or read book The Code of the Warrior & the "kinder, Gentler Army" written by Mark J. Eshelman and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the name implies, this paper addresses the impact, on the Code of the American Warrior, of accusations that today's "Kinder, Gentler Army" is incapable of winning wars. The paper seeks to determine whether the American soldier's professional ethic should change as America's Army enters the 21st Century. Criticisms regarding a degradation of the American warrior ethic are examined in two broad categories: as a result of societal pressures, primarily the integration of women into the Army, and as a result of increased participation in military operations short of war. The study describes the evolution of the warrior code, and while there is no official code of the American warrior, establishes what that code essentially is. The paper reviews past warrior codes in an effort to apply lessons learned by other societies. After deriving what some might call an idealistic warrior ethic, the paper seeks to determine whether the average soldier is capable of living up to it. The research project's conclusion is that the current Code of the American Warrior is "about right," but could be slightly improved for operations short of war by incorporating lessons from the Chinese warriors of the Tao Te Ching and American law enforcement agencies.

Download or read book The Patrol written by Ryan Flavelle and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, Ryan Flavelle, a reservist in the Canadian Army and a student at the University of Calgary, volunteered to serve in Afghanistan. For seven months, twenty-four-year-old Flavelle, a signaller attached to the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, endured the extreme heat, the long hours and the occasional absurdity of life as a Canadian soldier in this new war so far from home. Flavelle spent much of his time at a Canadian Forward Operating Base (FOB), living among his fellow soldiers and occasionally going outside the wire. For one sevenday period, Flavelle went into Taliban country, always walking in the footsteps of the man ahead of him, meeting Afghans and watching behind every mud wall for a sign of an enemy combatant. The Patrol is a gritty, boots-on-the-ground memoir of a soldier’s experience in the Canadian Forces in the 21st century. It is about why we fight, why men and women choose such a dangerous and demanding job, and what their lives are like when they find themselves back in our ordinary world.

Book Synopsis Mussolini's Army in the French Riviera by : Emanuele Sica
Download or read book Mussolini's Army in the French Riviera written by Emanuele Sica and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to its brutal seizure of the Balkans, the Italian Army's 1940-1943 relatively mild occupation of the French Riviera and nearby alpine regions bred the myth of the Italian brava gente, or good fellow, an agreeable occupier who abstained from the savage wartime behaviors so common across Europe. Employing a multi-tiered approach, Emanuele Sica examines the simultaneously conflicting and symbiotic relationship between the French population and Italian soldiers. At the grassroots level, Sica asserts that the cultural proximity between the soldiers and the local population, one-quarter of which was Italian, smoothed the sharp angles of miscommunication and cultural faux-pas at a time of great uncertainty. At the same time, it encouraged a laxness in discipline that manifested as fraternization and black marketeering. Sica's examination of political tensions highlights how French prefects and mayors fought to keep the tatters of sovereignty in the face of military occupation. In addition, he reveals the tense relationship between Fascist civilian authorities eager to fulfil imperial dreams of annexation and army leaders desperate to prevent any action that might provoke French insurrection. Finally, he completes the tableau with detailed accounts of how food shortages and French Resistance attacks brought sterner Italian methods, why the Fascists' attempted "Italianization" of the French border city of Menton failed, and the ways the occupation zone became an unlikely haven for Jews.

Book Synopsis The End of Policing by : Alex S. Vitale
Download or read book The End of Policing written by Alex S. Vitale and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The massive uprising following the police killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020--by some estimates the largest protests in US history--thrust the argument to defund the police to the forefront of international politics. It also made The End of Policing a bestseller and Alex Vitale, its author, a leading figure in the urgent public discussion over police and racial justice. As the writer Rachel Kushner put it in an article called "Things I Can't Live Without", this book explains that "unfortunately, no increased diversity on police forces, nor body cameras, nor better training, has made any seeming difference" in reducing police killings and abuse. "We need to restructure our society and put resources into communities themselves, an argument Alex Vitale makes very persuasively." The problem, Vitale demonstrates, is policing itself-the dramatic expansion of the police role over the last forty years. Drawing on first-hand research from across the globe, The End of Policing describes how the implementation of alternatives to policing, like drug legalization, regulation, and harm reduction instead of the policing of drugs, has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. This edition includes a new introduction that takes stock of the renewed movement to challenge police impunity and shows how we move forward, evaluating protest, policy, and the political situation.
Book Synopsis Transforming Our World by : Andrew S. Natsios
Download or read book Transforming Our World written by Andrew S. Natsios and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fall of the Soviet Union to the Gulf War, the presidency of George H. W. Bush dealt with foreign policy challenges that would cement the post-Cold War order for a generation. This book brings together a distinguished collection of foreign policy practitioners – career and political – who participated in the unfolding of international events as part the Bush administration to provide insider perspective by the people charged with carrying them out. They shed new light on and analyze President Bush’s role in world events during this historic period, his style of diplomacy, the organization and functioning of his foreign policy team, the consequences of his decisions, and his leadership skills. At a time when the old American-led post-World War II order is eroding or even collapsing, this book reminds readers of the difference American leadership in the world can make and how a president can manage a highly successful foreign policy.
