During the Revolutionary War both forces relied on sea support to be the major supplier for the ground troops. Washington knew that a victory in the war, would depend heavily on who controlled the seas. Without getting arms and other supplies from overseas the idea of independence would not have been a possibility.
Apart from the colonist being harassed with taxes, their trade with all parts of the world except Britain was another reason why the colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence. The illegal imposition of rules over their trade and production, commonly known as the Navigation Acts, which have been pressed on them for over a century and made worse by the Sugar Act and Townshend Acts was controlled once the Declaration of Independence was written and signed. Furthermore, the colonists were being deprived in many cases. The Boston Massacre was when a mob of 50 colonists gathered to protest against the officials. As fists and clubs began flying a soldier dropped dead, this forced the soldiers to fire, killing five civilians and wounding six.

The policy prohibited military personnel from discriminating against or harassing closeted homosexual or bisexual service members or applicants, while barring openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service. The restrictions were mandated by United States federal law. (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/33930.html) The policy prohibited people who "demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts" from serving in the armed forces of the United States, because their presence "would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability. (http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2010/02/15/Cheney_for_DADT_Repeal/) The act prohibited any homosexual or bisexual person from disclosing his or her sexual orientation or from speaking about any homosexual relationships, including marriages or other familial attributes, while serving in the United States armed forces. The act specified that service members who disclose that they are homosexual or engage in homosexual conduct should be separated (discharged) except when a service member's conduct was for the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service or when it would not be in the best interest of the armed forces.
Leadership/Command Philosophy and Interview Paper By Capt Lewis T. Griffin Applied Leadership and Command Section 176 06 September 2013 Air Command and Staff College Distance Learning Maxwell AFB, AL As a commander, it is exceedingly important to develop a leadership philosophy. This philosophy should differ from the unit’s mission statement. Where a mission statement articulates the overall purpose and objectives of the unit as a whole, a commander’s leadership philosophy serves more of a focus for the individuals within the unit. As stated by Col J. William Demarco, “it lets people know what you expect, what you value, and how you will act.”1 He goes on to say that “a well defined philosophy will act like a compass, keeping the commander on course.”2 Using this definition as a framework, I must use both my personality and the sum of my experiences both in life an in the military to put my own leadership philosophy into words. From there, I’ll describe a situation that presented the challenge of changing the culture of the personnel of a graduated squadron commander I had the honor of interviewing.
Keith W. Pittman PHI 105 21st Century Skills: Critical Thinking & Problem Solving February 12, 2012 Professor Matt Hampton Mandatory Military Service This topic of mandatory military service, pose great controversy in our country of tremendous freedom. As you read this paper, it is my intentions and opinion to show you why we should not have mandatory military service. I will bring to light the effect mandatory military service would have on our society, by point out the difference between the draft and mandatory military service; benefits from mandatory military service; and the violation of free will. As we know it, at one point in history we did have a government imposed selective service draft. This was the closest we ever came to mandatory military service.
