Let us remember that in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, most combat soldiers had only six months of training before being sent to war. Peacekeeping operations are best suited to short-term servers at the lower enlisted ranks. A reality often overlooked in the all-volunteer force is that one-third of entering members fail to complete their initial enlistments. Contrast this with the one
We discuss any issues we may be having such as car troubles, appliances breaking down and all off a sudden being a single parent for a year and just the whole new life adjustment and anomy we have to make going from having your spouse at home to help and support your everyday tasks to having to do everything on your own is a huge functional transition. From a functionalist perspective the FRG is its own culture. As long as there are soldiers in the military and deployments there will be a need for an FRG. It helps with the communication between the spouses so we can learn from each others experiences that they may be having. There is also an in functionalism in the FRG just based on the fact that every deployment is different and that affects the way the groups are formed.
A two month training period for all employees would being in search for employees with the right attitude and ability. They need to use some of the RDH employees to help keep the business going because of their connections. Recommendations: • Do not do away with the guanxi.

We Can Do It Statistics show that during World War II the number of working American women jumped from nearly 9 million to 20 million merely because of a simple poster encouraging women (Wiki). This poster of a now well know woman, Rosie the Riveter, refer to a period in American history that can be considered the beginning of a major shift in the role of women. During World War II, when millions of men were conscripted or voluntarily joined the armed forces, defense plants in the United States had to continue producing needed artillery, weapons, and other goods for the war effort. At the time, reasonably few women worked outside the home, and even fewer would have worked in factories like those producing airplanes and other military goods. Enlisted to see to it that production did not decrease in this time of emergency, the female
We have conflicting values protecting our country and the rise of communism. Ideological theorists claim that the Soviets and the Americans so believed in the superiority of their respective values and beliefs that they were willing to fight a cold war to
During the Vietnam War, the US only required that draftees serve for one year. So not only was the terrain weather and tactics an issue but experience became one too. In our interview Lt. Terry stated that, “As well trained as we were, soldiers were only required to fight for one year, and we would be fighting gooks that may have been fighting in the area for many years. It would be like your Regis baseball team trying to beat the Yankees.” As fighting really escalated the US took on many casualties. When Doherty spoke to our class he said, “Replacements couldn’t keep up with casualties.” This problem led to another problem.
Back then it didn’t matter whether you went to school or not because most parents needed their kids’ help with extra work on the field, but now it matters. An education is something that is guaranteed to all American citizens and if you don’t go to school, someone will come to your house to find out why you haven’t been attending. In the 1940’s you were required to learn how to read, write, know some math, and geography. In 2013 you have to learn all these different things that can somewhat prepare you for any career. We have to learn about finance, economics, algebra, biology, and more.
A good majority of high school graduates and most freshmen that enter college are at the age of eighteen, at which point they are legally considered adults. From this age an individual can decide whether they want to enter the military or start their life right into the work force. Whatever the person’s thoughts after high school may be, these young men and women are considered young adults and have the choice whether they want to get married, vote, become guardians, smoke, and serve our country. For some reason the American community seems to think that an eighteen year old adult is not suitably mature enough to choose whether or not they want to drink alcoholic beverages. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act in 1984, made the legal drinking age twenty one.
During the war American women turned their attention to the world outside the home. Thousands of women in the North and South joined volunteer brigades and signed up to work as nurses. It was the first time in American history that women played a significant role in a war effort. (Women in the Civil War, 2013) All the men had gone off to fight the war which had left many responsibilities open to the women. More than 20,000 women served in the armed forces during the war, more than 5,000 of which were nurses stationed in France.
