    The men rushed out of the plane and took in the image of where they’d be spending their lives. They saw the fifteen-foot tall barbed wire fences, the grotesque buildings and scenery, and other inmates being escorted by officers in unison. Before the inmates stood two guards, each wearing a standard security uniform and nametag. One of the name tags read “Lt. Harrison” and the other read “Sgt. Sanders”. The inmates listened as they announced rollcall.…

    The way that one lives, acts, and reacts to various situations; along with the level of accountability that they have for themselves within their general environment, are all characteristics that combine together to form the basic behavior of an individual. There are many qualities of life that can affect behavior, but experience is the most prominent. This essay will consist of comparing and contrasting the behavior of the military experienced and the non-military experienced group in an attempt to prove why the militaristic behavior is superior.

    It was 115 degrees; the platoon was walking through the middle of the desert each of them with 40 pounds of gear on and an M16A2 rifle. It was summer time in the country of Afghanistan and the temperature was rising. At this point I asked myself what the hell I am doing here and why did I join the United States Army? Right when I was thinking that I felt a tug on my leg and there stood a young boy about 7 years old with only one arm, “Candy,Candy” he asked. Upon speaking with the local villagers we found out that his arm was taken from an improvised explosive device (IED) planted there by the rebeles that wanted to “rid their country of the weak”. That is when it occurred to me that I was here to protect my country from those that think that we are weak.…

    It’s a normal day in June 1944 and we were located on the Pacific Island of Saipan. As were walking through the lush, tangled wilderness with dense sugar-cane, steep ravines and jagged volcanic mountains, there was no such thing as a battle line for us soldiers. Danger was everywhere. The unseen enemy could be hidden by the thick tropical vegetation and the pitch black darkness of the new mooned night. Our eyes where constantly looking from the left to the right as we crossed by the walls of caves looking at the trees sprouting out of them for barrels pointing back. When we would stop for the night, we cherished the passing day, for we know tomorrow could be our last.…

    Sweat trickled down my brow as I raised the sledgehammer above my head. As the loud crack of splintering rock rang through the air, I felt a sharp tinge of pain in my arms caused by my many hours of laborious work. Thoughts of pride, community, and accomplishment are spinning through my head. This is the culmination of my Boy Scout career. I thought back to the beginning of the week when this all started.…

    Practice was over after dark and I and my brothers were on our way home, when out of nowhere we heard “there they go lets getem, lets string them up” we started running for our lives. We felt that if we made to the military base we would be safe, but the eleven or so white assailants had other ideas. They cut off our exit to freedom. The next move was to find somewhere safe other than the base. I had a friend at school named Jessie and I knew where he live so we ran there. His mother opened the door to see three little black boys standing scared out of their minds. She asked what was wrong and I told her they were chasing us. She came out on the porch with her shotgun full rock salt and cleared the corner. Jessie’s mom then took us to the entry point of base. We thanked her and went home. After that night it was really hard to be outside after dark with worrying about be chased or being hung.…
