Army Soldiers Creed
Citizens who are not soldiers cannot begin to understand the personal, emotional and patriotic importance of being an American soldier. Being an American soldier is more than a job and more than a function in society. It is more even than a way of life. Being an American is just that: a state of being. There is nothing more important in the world than your work as a soldier. There is nothing greater in the world than the United States of America.
An American soldier has a mindset that does not accept either defeat or weakness. The mission comes first, and takes the top position in the mind of the American soldier until it is completed. All other weaknesses are secondary to completing the mission.
This does not however mean that soldiers forget each other. Soldiers never leave their fallen comrades. If someone should be injured on a mission, it is vitally important to see that person to safety until the mission is complete. Soldiers view each other as parts of a collective military machine that functions together to complete the mission. The success of the mission can only be guaranteed if all soldiers work in perfect unison. This is why fallen comrades are cared for as if they are family; the army is a type of family, of which each member is equally important and performs a vital function.
A soldier is also discipline in both physical and mental strength. Battle and other military functions can be extremely stressful. It is therefore important that American soldiers remain disciplined in all their physical and mental exercises. Both tasks and chores receive equal disciplined attention. An American soldier is proud of himself, his equipment, and his work.
This discipline is the only basis from which the American soldier can defend the American way of life. America is the most important consideration in all the soldier's tasks. Everything else focuses on the protection and care of the United States and all it stands for. This is why I am proud of my work and my life as an American soldier.
Mahatma Gandhi Qualities I admire the UN has even set and international peace day to celebrate him. Some of the qualities admire in this great man includes his great belief in himself. Mahatma Gandhi did not have a peculiar physique; he was a poor orator, lived a simple life, and did everything to avoid publicity. However, populations across the world still regard him as a great personality because he always believes in
Hezbollah has committed itself to the betterment of societal Lebanon not just in the context of Muslim families and organizations but all those who stand for an independent Lebanon. They have also provided a great deal of assistance when conflict has rendered regions without electricity or water (International Crisis Group, 2005). It was Hezbollah who provided not only medical supplies and food to Beirut during the 2006 conflict, but
These responsibilities notwithstanding, the American public was already being conditioned to view the war in Iraq as a battle against extremists, that is, against the Islamist radicals who had threatened the "American" way" of life on September 11, 2001. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson had already inflamed America's own Christian fundamentalists with talk that the terrible events of that day were to blame in part on "the gays and
Indeed, arguably he is playing a little loose with the terms here, for persuasion, while it may be based on logic, is rarely simply logic. Rather it is logic combined with at least a coating of emotion. In the following passage toward the end of his speech Obama uses language that I believe to be persuasive in a way in which Aristotle would approve, for Obama is using facts to
French Foreign Legion l. Jones The French Foreign Legion For many, the French Foreign Legion evokes images of adventure, perhaps men traipsing over sand dunes in khaki knickers, and flapped white hats -- tough, and a bit, shall we say, unorthodox in a mercenary kind of way. However, the French Foreign Legion was, and continues to be, a legitimate fighting force, unique to France and the French experience, while still capturing the
E. The voices who argue that America should and could be an imperial superpower, but lacks sound practical judgment. The thesis of this paper is that the history of the Roman Empire can be matched to that of the United States in terms of economy, political power, as well as aspirations. In this sense, present day America is very similar to fourth of even fifth century Rome; this poses one stringent
