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.…

The specific agency operating under The Department of Homeland Security I choose to research was the United States Secret Service.

They are also responsible for financial crimes, including things like counterfeit U.S currency, U.S treasury…
