If we could keep our men and women of the Armed Forces safe but yet still fight the war against terrorism? The idea in its basic form is quite brilliant, however in reality there are some issues that perhaps weren’t expected to arise. The main issues this essay will address is firstly the issue of what exactly is a militant as opposed to a civilian and also the issue of the unexpected deaths that have arisen from these Drone strikes. This essay will work at showing the “real” death toll involved in these attacks.

The government have been extending the previous sentence for carrying a knife to strike fear into wielders of weapons. The police have a dedicated team which are able to stop and search the local people of an area to try and prevent any further problems which could be happening.

Jeremy Soto HIST 7602-U50 Book Overview: Over Here by David M. Kennedy This book by Kennedy dives deep into the events that led to World War I and shows the culture of the American people during very tumultuous times. Secrets of legal organized militias are exposed along with desperate attempts by the Government to control and manipulate the minds of Americans through the Sedition act and the introduction of citizen spies.

This investigation is important in its historical context because the FBI’s involvement during the Civil Rights Movement can either defend or suspect the actions of civil rights activists and leaders. The FBI’s motivation was to infiltrate information on individuals who were suspected to be involved in crimes associated with communism. Dr. Martin Luther King had been highly suspected of communist relations and was kept under surveillance by the FBI under the director’s, J. Edgar Hoover, orders (Lovegrove, 120).

They feel that it will be better to prevent than to spend all the energy to prosecute people already in custody.
