Although, the last year’s super bowl champions, the Patriots use the 4-3 defense. If you take a look at all the teams who record is 5-0, they all use a 3-4 defense. Football’s 3-4 defense has become a very popular defense in the last couple of years thanks to teams like the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chief. Since the 3-4 defense can cause mass for quarterbacks, while also stopping the run by filling the gaps it is the best…
“[History] does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities,…
Should drones be used in warfare? It’s necessary to learn about drones—what they are, and how they are used—before determining the answer. The Air Force calls them Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or simply UVAs. There are dozens of them flying over countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, providing intelligence and surveillance. Since September 11, 2001, the US has been fighting the “War on Terror”, in which drones are used to kill suspected terrorists. Drones have changed the pattern of warfare and military outcomes.…
World War One is overshadowed by its similarly named successor World War Two but it is because of World War One's major technological advancements that changed warfare into what it is today. World War One resulted in over thirtyeight million casualties because of new technology being used in the war like the long range kills of the artillery, the ability of literally mowing down forces with the machine gun along with other advancements, and the true terror of fighting from a trench. The Europeans expected a quick and mobile war but instead were treated with a long, deadly war in which forces lived in holes. The war would last four years but those years were a continuous state of fear and war.…

The CQ Researcher article “Drone Warfare” discusses the usage of UAVs, unmanned aerial vehicles or, more popularly known as, “drones”. The primary focus of the article is to illustrate how the United States government is using the drones and discusses whether or not many of the drone attacks have been legal. Since the C.I.A., Central Intelligence Agency, has such influence over what goes on, they have been able to declare the drone strikes as “lawful acts of war and national self-defense in the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda.” While some people accept this,whether they believe it as fact or simply accept it as a national defense claim, critics have said “the intelligence agency's drone attacks violate the laws of war because they are executed by civilian agents and occur inside another nation's sovereign territory.” The C.I.A. has been targeting persons of interest through means of drones. When they have a confirmed sighting, whoever is in command tells the operator of the drone to fire a laser guided hellfire missile at the target. While these engagements are headed by the C.I.A., the question to ask is, “Do these increasingly occurring strikes fall under legitimate, legal war acts?”…
EA has set its sniper scope on the release date of 2016 for continuing the Battlefield franchise. What makes this worthy of hype? Instead of the cops-and-robbers theme that we saw in Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 5 will return to what made it famous, which is its military-focused story. During the 2014 UBS Global Technology Conference, Blake Jorgensen, EA CEO, commented about how he has seen the game shaping into an entertaining, new Battlefield that will contribute to its legacy.…
The sound of a screaming child getting beaten, just because she is black. The struggle of life for the blacks, who had to be careful to not disrespect any white person. They had the fear of God in them to not break their set rules. The blacks eventually had enough and began to protest. One of their protest is the March from Selma to Montgomery. The March on Washington was one of the biggest “riots” in history. But, to be claimed as a riot, it sure was a quiet one. This protest helped the blacks get voting rights in the South. No one screamed, or showed out, Martin Luther King gave his famous speech and everyone just listened to what the black man had to say.(Woog 62- 65) For many, he was hope, hope in that blacks get treated differently. To…
Many extreme pacifists reject the concept of just war and all justifications for violence. I actually disagree with the extreme pacifist that rejects the concept of just war and all justifications for violence. I feel that sometime war is something that just has to be done in order for people to solve curtain conflicts. St. Augustine is the known as the first one actually noted to be the founder of the theory of just war. A Just war is a theory that deals with the reason on why and how curtain wars are fought. The concept on a just war can be justified by concept of just war or the historical origin of just war reasoning. The just war aspect is about the ethical reasons on why they war is justified, and if that was last step that could have been…
I.Thesis Thesis Statement: In response to the many protests of the Ethiopian people to remove the Derg party from the Ethiopian Government, Mengistu,chairman of the Derg political party, started the Red Terror, which was a genocide of Ethiopian citizens who opposed the Derg. As a result of Mengistu's Red Terror Movement, Ethiopia had suffered irreversible damage to its economy, experienced a country wide famine, and thousands of its citizens had been slaughtered. Mengistu's terror was primarily shaped by Communism; Mengistu's socialist ideas, alliances with the Soviet Union, and radical principles gave the Ethiopian Red Terror a Soviet character that made Ethiopia a figurative part of the Communist bloc. II. Background…
In general, war is a very controversial and complicated series of events, but war still is a very sad last resort for humans. The statistics of how bloody and dreadful war can show the gruesomeness of this act. In armed conflicts since 1945, ninety percent of casualties have been civilians compared to fifty percent in the Second World War and ten percent in the First. The planning and execution of war remains controlled by men, but women and children are the main victims of violence in war. 160 million people died in wars during the 20th century.…
With this unprecedented popularity (previously showed in the second graphic), President Bush went forward to wage two simultaneous armed conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq (though, at very different times due to the UN’s pressure towards the invasion of Iraq). However, because the focus of this essay is to analyze the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq will not be thoroughly addressed.…
Art of War is a famous Chinese military strategy book written by Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese military general.

In this work of art Sun Tzu takes a rational approach to the problem of conflict and dissects every aspect of it. Sun Tzu is undeniably an historical figure.…
Black Hawk Down is a movie created to show how risky and how fast the life of a soldier can turn around. It portrays the Battle to Mogadishu, which was a battle fought between a special task force of the US Army and Somali militia in order to restore order, capture Mohamed Farrah Aidid; self-proclaimed president of Somalia, and capture Osman Ali; a very influential war lord who helps arm Aidid’s militia. The title Black Hawk Down comes into play when two of the American Special Forces black hawk helicopters take a heavy amount of ammunition and RPG’s and are taken down right out of the air, causing the soldiers to re-route their operation, and go on foot. This movie puts us in the soldier’s boots, just as we see in “Saving Private Ryan” as…
