    Americans have a tradition of fighting that goes long past the formation of the United States and before the official creation of its Army. John Grenier argues in his book, The First Way of War, that this long history created by early Americans “created a military tradition that accepted, legitimized, and encouraged attacks upon and the destruction of noncombatants, villages, and agricultural resources” (pg. 10). His purpose of the book is to offer a differing perspective from the common belief that American warfare stems from an organized army and he presents the argument that it rather stems from petite guerre. John Grenier’s book follows a chronological order from the early 1600s to 1815. His book is composed of 7 chapters that each focus on a different aspect of his thesis and continue the timeline in his book.…

    On the day of the 11th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, another attack unfolded--this time, on foreign soil, but still very much hitting close to home. Four U.S. citizens--the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens; a Foreign Service information management officer, and two other U.S. personnel--died when members of the radical Islamist group called Ansar al-Sharia, one of many extremist Salafi groups, clashed with security forces in Benghazi after protesting near the U.S. consulate. It has been debated what has provoked this violence, but it was initially believed that it was due to an online film considered offensive to Islam. Earlier on in the day, in Cairo, there were protests being executed in response to the mentioned video, but whether or not those protests were related to the Benghazi attacks remained unclear in the few days following.…
