The importance of accountability and sensitive items in the military Sensitive items are those items which are attractive for personnel use, attraction to the wrong kind of people who like to steal sensitive items, (for example weapons, Military Identification Cards, Thumb Drives, and military equipment), and the equipment can be very hazardous. Therefore, it requires a greater degree of control and accountability. If a military personnel were to lose accountability of a military weapon, that weapon could make its way over to the enemies hands on where they can duplicate and get ideas on how the our weapons are made and make even better ones. With Thumb Drives there can be top secret information about the military, for example, dates of deployments, how many personnel is in a platoon, and etc. Not securing and keeping accountability of sensitive items can acquire the risk of loss by being intercepted by unauthorized persons.
The threat of terrorist attacks changed American culture immensely; the devastation wakened the need for protection and a sense of security. Dramatic measures were taken in order to protect this country, so foreign relations were severely affected. Post 9/11 government saw the “link between immigration and security”, and that by changing foreign policy it would “reduce the likelihood of future attacks” (Krikorian 567).The safety measure in airports were countless from metal detectors to full body scans. “The immigration system has being penetrated by the enemy”, the officials realized which led to unfair accusation of innocents (Krikorian 568). “Overzealous officials” grill suspicious foreigners “to the point of near panic” (Khan 559).
Being the son of a top ranking admiral in the Navy, his case became highly publicized. While obviously being against torture, he also believes it is morally wrong for the torturer. In his work, he gives three main points to support his war on torture: the issue of the reliability intelligence gained (423), other country’s following in our footsteps regarding torture (424), and the mental harm inflicted in the process (424). In war, the soldiers strategically use intelligence in order to gain an upper hand over the enemy. But what good is intelligence if it’s not accurate (423)?
Although steroids may improve performance, they will continue to harm athletes and ruin sports as we know it if restrictions are not more strictly enforced. Anabolic steroids are being abused in many different ways such as orally, injection, or by a gel or cream in order to improve athletes’ performances. In today’s society, professional athletes are using anabolic steroids to gain an advantage against their opponents, and the young children that idolize them are in turn also abusing steroids. What all these athletes do not understand is the harm that abusing steroids are doing to them. I feel that people need to stop abusing steroids because it not only hurts you hormonally, but it will also hurt their musculoskeletal and cardiovascular system,
In many ways Kennedy did increase US involvement in Vietnam to benefit and protect the south, one of the reasons being Kennedy’s awareness of the limitations and weaknesses of the South Vietnamese Army. The instability of a demoralised army would lead to further political problems and make it very difficult for the south to defend its self from the north. However the USA still needed to protect its own vital national interests. The spread of communism was still a growing concern and a massive threat to the USA which argues that the reason USA became involved with the south was to protect USA from the spread of communism rather than to help the people of South Vietnam. Kennedy and the USA was committed to containment meaning the US foreign policy was predicated by the commitment to protect freedom wherever it was under threat which was applied perfectly to South Vietnams situation.
The United States viewed counterterrorism missions as special operations by covert, clandestine, or low visibility means. Today counterterrorism is classified as a core task for the United States. We have created or redefined our special sources to conduct a more offensive measure to combat terrorism. To construct a Counterterrorism and Intelligence Framework that will create the most “robust” intelligence system and strategically efficient counterterrorism operations we must first get the CIA, FBI and the Department of Defense to work hand in hand to help detour terrorism. This is not an easy task but it can be done and a new policy can come from this recommendation.
Even when an athlete returns from an injury they can still be affected by it and play more tentatively on the field or court because of fear of re-injury (Brehm, 2008). The psychological effects of sports injuries all depend on how the athlete copes with the injury. Epidemiological reports of sports injury confirm a high incidence of injuries occurring at all levels of sport participation, ranging in severity from cuts and bruises to spinal cord injury. The psychosocial dynamics accompanying sport injury should be known to ensure psychological recovery, an important aspect in rehabilitating the injured athlete. Earlier studies demonstrating psychological differences between athletes and non-athletes indicated the need for actual research on the athlete's post injury response in lieu of accepting the hypothesis that the emotional responses of athletes to injury parallels
But with all sports comes injury and football is as bad as it gets. The most prevalent injury that’s changing the game of football is to the head. Concussions have become common to football players but they can be directly linked to permanent brain damage. It isn’t new that football causes concussions but after recent studies that reveal how dangerous these brain injuries are, the media has put pressure on the NFL and how they can change this ongoing issue. There is not much that can be done to a sport like football to make it safer but something has to change in order to stop permanent brain damage for its players.
Contemporary U.S. History Assignment 2.2: Policemen of the World Final Paper This paper explores the manner and the consequences that the United States faces for military intervention in countries abroad and the controversy these actions have generated for the United States and other countries. To further explain, we are looking at actions taken “when the safety of Americans is not directly threatened but where action can be justified — in the case of genocide, humanitarian relief, regional security or economic interests” (Cooper, 2011). We will look at how the United States justifies the lives of countless American soldiers and dollars to interfere in countries where we, the Americans are not welcomed, by providing military power and weapons to those countries. We will see what has
Through news briefings and highly orchestrated press tours, both sides try to make the most of successes and minimize setbacks. This is done through methods that range from spin control to pure propaganda. Spin control gives a partial picture of the truth, to portray an event, such as the results of a battle, in the best possible light. Propaganda is a tricky term that is often misused to label opposition statements as untrue; in fact, it means any information spread deliberately to further your cause, or to damage your opponent's, such as the leaflets dropped by the B-52s. "They are trying to manipulate world opinion in a way that is advantageous to them and disadvantageous to us," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld says of the enemy.
