The Importance of Appearance in the Military The military has long been the epitome of professionalism. Throughout the years there have been military standards in ceremony, dress, drills, physical training, and behavior which by far exceed the standards of nearly every civilian organization. Simple things from the way one service member speaks to another, to the way in which one salutes another of superior rank are all outlined in army regulations. The most standard regulation which covers military appearance and uniforms is outlined in Army Regulation 670-1. This regulation shows the proper way to wear and set-up the army combat uniform as well as the dress greens/army service uniforms.
U.S. Marshal’s Since 1789 the U.S. Marshal’s have been apart of the United States government, they have safe guarded us from foreign and domestic issues. They have done many services for our country they have protected many people on the Federal level and on the Public level. They have escorted many witnesses and captured many Federal fugitives; they provide a vital role in our government. Though the Marshal’s have only been around since 1789 they have a long history in America, they also have a large role in our government, and the process it takes to be one can be hard and long. The beginning for the Marshals stared in the year 1789, and so began their legacy.

However, Soldiers have been performing police duties from the time of the Revolutionary War, when these duties were assigned mainly to a mounted police force called the Troops of the Marechaussee. Since then, unfortunately, there are military members that do not conform to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (the basis for military law). Those individuals, if deemed necessary, had to be incarcerated. Military prisoners were held in stockades and were treated very poorly and subject to cruel and unusual punishments with little to no chance of rehabilitation.
In his Newsweek Article McCain says, “We should not torture or treat inhumanely terrorists we have captured.” In his article there are some examples as to his own experiences on the tortures, making his stand on how prisoners should be treated when captured. On this stand he pulls the rights of the Geneva Convention where the wartime rights of prisoners were established for protection of the wounded and established protections for the civilians in and around a war zone. Many of today’s soldiers that have face wartime to this day follow the code of conduct. The code of conduct was established as a legal guide for the behavior of military members who are captured by hostile forces. Military members of today believe that the Code of Conduct, Ethic codes, and Honor codes aid in surviving torture tactics when captured by their enemies.

Palmer's Summons of the Trumpet, a study of strategy in the Vietnam War. The function of music in war has always been twofold: as a means of communication and as a psychological weapon.
The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 remains to have significant influence across every nation. Sovereigns upon this international stage have adopted this political order as part of their foreign policy. Initially established by President James Monroe, it has become a longstanding presence within the United States foreign policy over the years. The original purpose of the Monroe Doctrine was to secure the “continents” of the United States from outside threats; more importantly, from any further advancement of the European nation. As a young nation maturing into a respected power, the United States, a spectator society as it were, would ideally police and protect their “brethren republics” of Latin America and other nations within the Western

After the civil war, the laws were again proving the fact that the habeas corpus should be allowed. President Obama said he wanted to change the laws so that everyone was allowed the right and that he was going to make it change. It is still obviously a major debate in The United
