What is Military?

The military as a subject of academic study sits at the intersection of government, political science, history, and public policy. Students across disciplines engage with it because armed forces are among the most powerful institutions a nation can possess, shaping foreign policy, domestic governance, and social organization simultaneously. Questions about how military power is structured, how it relates to civilian authority, and what role it plays in a nation's identity make this a consistently rich area of inquiry. The topic also raises ethical and legal dimensions, from the obligations of individual service members to broader debates about civil rights within military institutions.

Papers on this topic take a wide range of approaches. Some examine specific branches or organizations, such as the United States Marine Corps or the Department of Defense and its military branches, focusing on structure and function. Others adopt a historical or biographical lens, exploring how figures like John McCain were shaped by military service. Comparative and regional analyses appear as well, including studies of the military as an institution in Latin America and its specific role in Chile. Policy-oriented papers address preparedness, contrasting military and domestic public safety agencies, while social debates around issues like homosexuals in the military bring civil rights frameworks into the conversation.

A strong essay on this topic begins with a clearly scoped thesis that identifies a specific aspect of military power, policy, or organization rather than attempting to address the institution in its entirety. Evidence drawn from government documents, historical case studies, or policy analysis tends to carry the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating the military as a monolithic entity, so distinguishing between branches, nations, or time periods will significantly strengthen any argument.

U.S. Military Needs to Step Down

General Creighton Abrams said, "There must be within our Army, a sense of purpose. There must be a willingness to march a little farther, to carry a heavier load, to step out into the dark and the unknown for the safety and well-being of others (United States)." U.S. military troops are indeed marching farther and farther, expanding into different nations at this very moment: Afghanistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Columbia, Japan, and 58 other countries. However, this isn't what Abrams had in mind. In total, there are 255,065 U.S. military personnel deployed worldwide

Battle of the Aleutians a Cold Wake Up Call

This study concerns the Battle for the Aleutians which was the only time during World War II that Japanese occupied American soil and was the first incursion on American soil since the War of 1812. The Aleutian Islands were strategically significant during World War II for both sides but many military historians agree that both sides would have been better off if they had foregone this campaign. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the primary and secondary peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning this battle to develop an informed answer to the study's guiding research question: "How might the American response to the Japanese invasion and occupation be directly linked to the chain of events in the Pacific, and did the ‘forgotten battle' mobilize Americans more than historians have admitted?"
