Special Forces: The elite of the elite Christopher L. Mintze August 16, 2011 Christopher L. Mintze Instructor Murray English 211 August 16, 2011 Special Forces: The elite of the Elite How much do you know about your nations Special Forces? There are many groups that are a part of the United States Special Operations Command, like the Army Rangers, the Green Berets, the Delta Force, and the Navy SEALS. Each are highly trained in general combat and small unit tactics. Each one can be used for many general special operations missions. However, each Special Operations Group is primarily trained for specific type missions.
It was also used as a defence mechanism in case of future attack. The race can also said to have produced numerous treaties between the superpowers, and these factors seem to suggest that the arms race had a stabilising effect and did not threaten world peace. However, it is also argued that it made the world a more dangerous place, and consequently threatened world peace. The word ‘dangerous’ is defined as an unsafe threat to the world and human population. This is demonstrated through the questionable policies such as Brinkmanship, Massive retaliation, and how the culture of paranoia and secrecy caused both sides to constantly create more nuclear weapons to feel protected against the other side.
The Islamic nation feels the need to always be in attack mode because of the big threat that the United States poses as. The catastrophic and rebellion among the Islamic people is what is tearing them down and not the United States. The ongoing battles between the United States and the Middle Eastern nations have been going on long enough. The deepest part of the conflict comes from the fact that each country does not actually know how powerful the other one is. The Middle Eastern should see its own nation as a threat and not that the United States is a threat to them.
Along with its arsenal of weapons and state-of-the-art devices, the military also utilizes many forms of media to fight battles, win wars and gain popular support. To many this can also be simply mean; “The US Military uses various forms of public relations to keep the American and World populations in the dark about its functions.” Public Relations, Affairs and Advertising may be the strongest weapon the military has to win its daily worldwide battles! The Global War on Terrorism, primarily being fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been no exception. The United States has used public relations to gain support for the war from foreign nations, Iraqi and Afghan citizens, and Americans back home. The Bush administration frequently used to the media to make its case to go to war and also to justify its military actions.
In any form, terrorism sends a message. Terrorists, governments, and the media see the function, roles and responsibilities of the media when covering terrorists’ events from differing and often competing perspectives. Such perspectives drive behavior during terrorist incidents, often resulting in both tactical and strategic gains to the terrorist operation and overall terrorist cause. The challenge to both the governmental and press communities is to understand the dynamics of terrorist enterprise and to develop policy options designed to serve the interests of government, the media, and the society. Terrorists must have publicity in some form if they are to gain attention, inspire fear and respect, and secure favorable understanding of their cause, if not their act.
Although in itself it really affords military victory, it is an essential, early and intermediate stage of revolutionary reform. A Guerilla war can also be described as “a poor man’s way of waging war against a mighty international or and state power”. Guerilla forces need the support of the masses in order to survive. A guerilla fighter is not simply a mercenary or a bandit, but is rather a highly motivated social and political reformer. Guerilla war has been the most common form of warfare since 1945.
| | Via Formidonis: The Path of Terror | | DClaborn | 4/16/2011 | Terrorism Investigation In exploring the paths and journeys that lead individuals to collective Terrorist organizations, we find quickly that there are myriad roads that lead to the same end result. The paths taken by multiple terrorists may share similarities, but they are unique and defined by the individual. Recruitment infrastructures are highly refined in many cases; but are sometimes rudimentary as well. Care must be given when trying to create a profile of terrorists and the process by which they became indoctrinated. Identifying the parallels and correlating them is only the beginning in understanding how a person begins the terrorist journey.
Using two or three examples, critically explain how the tactics and strategies used by terrorists have evolved since the 1990’s. Terrorist activity has always been a threat within society, however when acts of terrorism are carried out the vulnerability of modern society is broadcast worldwide. The tactics and strategies that have been employed by terrorists since the 1990’s are adapting to suit the modern age of terrorism we see today. The modern terrorist we are confronted with appears to challenge the foundations of what we once believed to be true and in the process seems to be more lethal than ever before. Increased use of the Internet by terrorist groups is a strategy that has been utilized more efficiently since the 1990’s due to the increased reliance on technology.
They have a high violence rate, but that violence has also over powered many nations to save the world. Overall, the United States is a safer nation than many others. 12. Concluding, these horrific shootings cannot be brought to an end anywhere in the world. Thesis: In “Are we a sick society?” based on Mike Rosen’s
Although religion gives a person meaning to life, it guides people into the right direction, comforts people in times of sadness, and connects people together. Many believe that religion is the cause of all wars, because of the large number of general encounter between opposing different worshipping of leaders. But the cause of a war can be very difficult to figure out. Others would argue that religion is the primary cause of war, because of the many wars that have been caused by it. Throughout history, religion has been named the number one source of creating the torment anguish of human wars.
