Markinson states that Santiago should be transferred for safety reasons, but Jessup says that this could cost lives. Jessup also states that the officers have a duty to ensure that all personnel are well-trained, so he orders Kendrick to see that Santiago shows improvement on the next evaluation, or he would be held responsible. Kaffee initially tries to step down as lead counsel for the defense. His argument being that since he cannot prove that any order was given for the assault, making a legal stand simply because he believes the Marines did as they were told was a foolish act. He soon changes his mind though after Dawson and Downey say they were ordered by Lieutenant Kendrick, under the orders of Jessup, to shave Santiago's head just minutes after Kendrick ordered the platoon not to touch Santiago.
More arguments wanting to keep this ban is allowing openly gay troops in the military will invite illicit behavior, and having gays openly in the military will invade troops privacy with living arrangements and open showers. Americans against don’t ask don’t tell have many reasons for their point of view and more backup to support their reasoning. Some consider don't ask don't tell to be unconstitutional. Many people against don't ask don't tell believe it takes away rights and is unfair to people fighting for our rights. Ones sexual orientation doesn't effect their work performance.
At the time the don’t ask don’t tell policy was in effect, but soldiers were still being discharged. In conclusion, I am glad that the policy got repealed and I give a lot of credit to President Obama for keeping his word during his campaign to end the don’t ask don’t tell policy. There are still credits who oppose lifting the ban, but it was the right thing to do. As long as your sexuality do not interfere with your work, I do not see why you would be banned from doing your job. Finally I want to say, God bless our men and women who proudly serve our country with such dignity and professionalism.
Once again however, the new Marine Corps teaches us “Yes, No and Aye” sir, as our means of communication and that if we address a higher-up without saying his/her rank at least once per sentence, that we are being disrespectful. Such instruction however leaves us all as strangers in our own Corps, where one Marine can only relate to the other by what oppression he has seen through the
All other knowledge is expected to be acquired through on-the-job training and experience. In order to teach junior Marines, leaders must be proficient with their MOS and basic Marine Corps knowledge ranging from weapons and first aid to history and uniform regulations. -Courage: It takes courage to rush into gunfire to save a wounded Marine. It takes a whole different type of courage to speak up when another Marine is making self-destructive decisions such as excessive drinking. Such actions are detrimental to the mission, and to the Marine Corps itself.
Also, negative team behavior can be the dominating attitude or the superiority complex. In this case, a team member who shows this behavior usually manipulates other members of the team, say, by being authoritative or insisting more on individual opinions. Also, members who have negative team behaviors show lack of interest and in extreme cases don’t participate in team building. As a result, enhancement of teamwork is hindered. I remember a class team we had formed to work on
Deep down inside all should show deep respect for the opposite team, because we are all doing the same thing. This is protecting our country from the outsiders who doesn’t like our beliefs and mainly our freedom. Also another way of looking at it is one branch couldn’t work without the other. There are some differences and similarities between the two. While the Army is getting all the new tools and equipment, it seems as if the Marines are getting the job done with all the hand me downs from the different branches.
We need to remember that marriage is a religious rite. Therefore, legalizing gay marriage would represent a type of sacrilege against the institution of marriage. It is furthermore an intrusion of the government into a religious matter and that is not in the scope of power of our government. The union of marriage exists partly for the purpose of having children. Since procreation can only occur between a man and a woman then same-sex marriage would not be able to achieve this purpose.
Meanwhile, Asian as a ethnic race in American society, were lack of enough desire to correct the stereotypes and they didn’t have too much political right, only to know to work hard, study hard and come back home. The Asian also had not enough presence in media and they were forgotten by the mainstream
Congress knows this is a hot button issue with many Americans and the arguments against it just can’t hold up. Nothing bad can come out of gay marriage. I saw a man protesting on the news holding a picket sign which read, “What would happen if gay marriage were legalized?!? !......Gay people would get married.” I thought his sign was perfect. Why are we so up in arms over this?
