To go along with the 4,400 Americans that wont be coming home to their families, there were over 32,000 Americans wounded in this war. So was this $4 trillion dollar war really wort our time and the lives it cost us? I say no, I feel we spent far too long helping a country that wanted nothing but for us to leave their country for years. We have cost too many lives, and have changed too many lives with injuries to justify a war where we simply just pull out. The results did not justify the losses America took, including how negative our image has become over the years, the financial hole we dug ourselves into, and the way we've affected Americans for the

After choosing my job and getting the specifics of my contract, I was married to the military for 3 years. You got it, married to the Army. In this marriage there are choices, but the choices are not always made with the input of the other partner. The other partner is you. This is how the military works even though you always have a choice the consequences of divorce will be devastating to the rest of your life.
Our country is currently at war and has been in this particular war for seven years. This fact has affected every citizen in the United States, some more than others, but none more than the Military families. Like me, many spouses, family members, and friends of American soldiers anxiously await their loved ones return and the end of this war. Some people believe that war is a necessary occurrence that must take place every so often to maintain a balance among the world or in other words to help create peace. Many other people know that war cannot create peace because these two ideas are completely opposite.
Treating War’s Toll on the Mind Response Paper – By Aisha Pitt 03/12/2010 In reading this article written by Betsy Streisand it is apparent that thousands of soldiers suffer from Post Traumatic Stress disorder during and after combat. When they suffer from being traumatized during the war, and when they are still in combat, little help is made available to the soldiers and they are soon pushed back into the war before they have the chance to fully heal. When a soldier returns home with PTSD they have the inability to turn the switch from soldier to a regular citizen. They can return with depression and anxiety because they can feel like there is a complete lack of safety for them and their family. Soldiers have a hard time integrating
Since fighting in (2) two wars: Iraq and Afghanistan for well over 14 years and the drawdown of United States forces world wide the government has a surplus of military equipment left over from both of these actions. “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.” (Matthew 24:6) As the size of the U.S. forces diminish due to financial restraints in the different theaters of operations the need for all of this equipment and the cost of maintaining this equipment has resulted in thousands of municipalities and civilian/governmental police forces throughout the United States being the receivers of sophisticated and cutting edge military combat equipment. (Garland, 2014) In a New York Times article by Matt Apuzzo, “War Gear Flows to Police Departments.” “During the Obama administration, according to Pentagon data, police departments have received tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft.” (NYT,
However, at all times I stand ready to accept the fact that I could receive that phone call telling me to pack my bags, I am being deployed. Many people do not understand what soldiers go through both physically and mentally while on serving or how close they come to dying every single day to keep us safe here in America. Therefore, when I hear the word “Hero,” a soldier is the first person that comes to mind. Public Safety personnel are just ad heroic as soldiers, just in a different way. While soldiers protect us outside the United States, public safety personnel protect us inside the United States, in our hometowns.
It is the first and foremost thing that require to advancing human development. By this statement in the case study ‘A 9-10 year increase in life-expectancy is equivalent to about 50 years of development in first world countries’ we can easily understood that. In order to achieve this requires, expanding the real opportunities people have to avoid premature death by diseases, to enjoy protection from arbitrary denial of life, to live in a healthy environment, to maintain a healthy lifestyle, to receive quality medical care, and to attain the highest possible standard of physical and mental health. Access to knowledge is a critical determinant of long-term well-being and is essential to individual freedom, self-determination, and self-sufficiency. Education is critical to people’s real freedom to decide what to do and who to be.
So why do people continue to go for the higher education? Students pay thousands of dollars and end up in debt that lasts a lifetime for a future that is not guaranteed. The school system has failed at guiding students though a successful career path and instead it created an empire that profits a large from students by delivering a dream that attracts all students, a promise they can’t guarantee, and a reality that makes people angry. As a child people are influenced by their parents with dreams of becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, and many other types of professionals. This type of encouragement has become a tradition that started over forty years ago.
