Since, September 1, 2011, the United States has gone to extreme measures to not only fight terrorism but prevent it too. Under federal law, there are now criminal and civil penalties for anyone giving “material support” to a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). In Holder vs. Humanitarian Law Project, the Supreme Court accepted a very broad definition of what constitutes “material support.” The Court essentially held that one is guilty of providing “material support” if the aid provided to an organization may somehow get into the hands of an FTO. This becomes an issue for the United States government when we give money to the Free Syrian Army (FSA), as we tend to forget these rebels are fighting alongside terrorist organizations. Specifically, we have no way of knowing if the money…

Next, weapons evolved throughout the process of the crusades. Just as the people developed armor throughout the medieval time period surrounding the crusades, knights began to use more effective and dangerous weapons in combat with their enemy. Two different types of weapons were used during the Crusades: close combat weapons such as swords, maces, spears, and poleaxes, but also long distance weapons such as long bows and crossbows. Blacksmiths softened iron and then shaped the metal into customized weights, lengths, widths, and also shape for both swords and spears. Bows would be used for long distance attack and could be used on foot or on horseback. During the Crusades, the archers with long bows would line up and fire over city walls…
Question 1: In the Middle Ages the defenders of a fortified place had probably their greatest advantage in history over the besiegers. That evaporated in 1460. Examine the development of fortifications and garrison weaponry from 1050 to 1700, and describe the counter developments in siege craft. Conclude with a discussion of the consequences of the defensive or offensive advantage for warfare in those eras.…

Here is some information regarding your research paper for GOVT 2305. As far as topics for your paper I leave it totally up to you. The only criteria is that it has to deal with an issue related to either the U.S. government. If you look in the front of your book in the Contents section (pages vii to xvii) you 'll find lots of options and then you can look on the appropriate page(s) to see if that topic really sounds interesting to you. It has to be a topic where there is an argument for it and against it so it has to have some level of controversy around it. For example you can argue for or against the death penalty and in your papers you will need to present both sides to the argument, why both sides believe as they do, and then tell why you think one side of the debate represents a better choice. The paper needs to be between 3-5 pages in length and must be in APA format. Below are two links that illustrate through examples how to cite sources using APA. Also, your paper needs to be double-spaced including your cover sheet, which should be centered with the title of the paper first, then your name, the name of the class with the section number, my name (Professor McMahon), and finally the date. Again, it should at least be three pages meaning that you should write to at least halfway down the third page. You should have a References page at the end of your paper where you should have at least three different sources used in the paper. These need to be legitimate sources (New York Times, Washington Post, Economist, Time, etc.). Wikipedia is definitely not an accepted source. Again, your References page should be double-spaced. On the first page that you begin writing your paper (so not the cover page) you should begin numbering your pages in the top right hand corner (header) which means that at a minimum your References page should be number four. In front of your numbering at the top right hand corner you should put at least…
Nobles and the military leaders of the era were also at odds with the new gunpowder weaponry. As gunpowder weaponry continued to develop it eventually progressed to the point of being very effective, and nobles, the knightly class, began to recognize that firearms represented a threat to their dominance. Unlike traditional medieval warfare which respected social status, “...gunpowder weapons had no such respect for class, and nobles risked death as much from gunshot as did non-noble soldiers”. Nobles feared firearms. Their armor could protect them from swords, axes, arrows and crossbows, but it couldn’t stop a long gun like a harquebus-a large heavy rifle- or a cannon.…
This Government, as promised, has maintained the closest surveillance of the Soviet military buildup on the island of Cuba. Within the past week, unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island. The purpose of these bases can be none other than to provide a nuclear strike capability against the Western Hemisphere.…
ISIS, which stands for The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, has become one of the largest threats to the United States. In addition, it has become a terrorist organization that exploits various sources of intelligence collection methods to include open source intelligence (OSINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT) and signals intelligence (SIGINT). Each of these intelligence methods provide ISIS with many ways to expand, but recruitment through open source intelligence is the most valuable to ISIS.…

Pakistan Artillery operated in Kashmir under several handicaps, except for the spirit and skill of our officers and men. Guns were employed with great care and full calculation of the risks involved. In spite of Indian monopoly of air, wherever our guns opened fire, the Indians were surprised and silenced receiving commensurate punishment. The feats like manhandling and taking the guns to heights of over 9000 feet on the peaks of Chunj, Kai and other features and engaging Indian forces, will remain a glowing chapter in the history of Pakistan Artillery. These officers and men were trained before the dawn of independence but they were Pakistanis, and so was their spirit and inspiration. For the first time since the disintegration of Mughal Empire, the people of this part of the land could feel making their own history.…
