Bruce Dawe’s novel, Weapon Training is one of the most popular poems that Bruce Dawe wrote about the military life during the Vietnam War. In his novel, he used stronger themes to catch reader’s attention. Weapon Training is about Bruce’s opposition to the Vietnam War. In his poem, he establishes that the Vietnam War will cause hard time for Australian if they involve in it. In the novel, Bruce used dramatic anger by using the voice of the drill Sergeant to establish this idea, he tried to explain that the weapons that are being trained are human being, he tried to explain 'that' the men were forced on recruitment to be solders and trained to kill another human being.

The 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) (TSC) promoted one of its own today. It was a true honor to be a part of Athena Oliver’s promotion from chief warrant officer three (CW3) to the rank of CW4. The Army has a unique esprit de corps, as we work, train, and fight beside each other in the tireless effort to protect the American people and preserve our way of life. Through war and peace, the Army is a professional organization—a Family. Warrant officers are highly skilled, single-track specialty officers, the ranks CW2 through CW5, are commissioned by the President of the United States and take the same oath as regular commissioned officers (O 1 to O 10).
The Effect of New Weaponry during the Civil War on Wounds In the four relatively short but bloody years of the Civil War, an estimated 110,070 Americans died in battle or later died due to wounds inflicted to them. (White) This number is higher than any other war of American time. Furthermore, the technologies of our country are constantly changing and weapons are becoming more effective.
Concealed carriers are in more and more danger when having to warn people. The carriers and people around are getting hurt because of it. Concealed carriers should not have to warn before shooting a robber or intruder. Warning before shooting could put carriers in danger.
Introduction Commonly referred to as the King of Battle, the Field Artillery branch has evolved into a powerful and multifaceted contributing member of today’s Army. The history of this evolution is a long and colorful one. Napoleon Bonaparte, an artilleryman himself, capitalized on the theory of massing the firepower of artillery at the proper time and place providing him a tactical advantage and allowed his maneuver teams to breakthrough enemy lines and secure their victory. As the Civil War approached, changes were being made that would have defining effects on the roles of Field Artillery.
Most would say that the artillery we use for the Civil War isn 't distinct, but they really are, there are multiple uses for these mechanisms such as a longer barrel for a cannon for a longer range of fire, a twisted inside that would propel a dud across the battlefield, and a piece of machinery that could develop the equivalent of a massive bomb. Now, some might say that the navy only consists of a few cannons, and a couple of riflemen , but really they consist of much more than just that. The navy used a much more distinct type of weapon, they called it the Iron Smooth Bore. It is used for a much more long ranged attack.
The right to bear arms has been a controversial issue ever since James Madison established it as the second amendment of the constitution. The second amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” (US Const. amend. II). Those in favor of the second amendment, believe that arms are used for protection, dangerous situations, and sports.
Concealed Protection A concealed handguns can be a tool for the public’s protection. Concealed handguns should be legal in all 50 states because the Second Amendment guarantees it. Most concealed handgun owners are law abiding citizens and it can be used for protection from harm.
I am that kid. You know that kid. I am that kid who sings, but hates listening to their own voice. I loathe hearing the sound in videos and recordings.
WW1 was the first industrial war, as it was marked by the new weapons and military technology introduced to aid in fighting. As the level of fighting increased, military technology advanced throughout the war. Machine guns, planes, tanks, and artillery were some of the most used and advanced weapons. Most of the machine guns at the start of the war were heavy and needed a team of soldiers to operate it. This shows how when they were first used, they weren’t very well developed as it was new, primitive technology, and were mostly used as defensive weapons due to their immobility.
Returning to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) to assume command as the brigade commander brings me much joy to be reunited with great Non-Commission Officers and Officers that I have previously served with. Unfortunately, this brigade is no longer the brigade I remember when I commanded a battalion within the 4th ABCT not so long ago. In the last 30 days, I have had the opportunity to observe the ABCT and review a multitude of historical documents to assess the state of the brigade. During my observation, I believe the critical leadership problem in the 4th ABCT’s is the lack of vision for the brigade. Therefore, this critical problem has led to other challenging issues within the brigade.

The article “Many Owners Say Semi Automatic Weapons Are Just Another Hobby”, is more about using semi automatic weapons as hobby, a sport, and for hunting. Some believe that using semi automatic weapons to hunt is not sportsman like when hunting big game animals. Most people favor the gun when shooting small game and pest like coyotes. Most people also find that shooting a semi automatic weapon gives them a thrill and a sense of enjoyment. Just like someone would like playing football, baseball, or soccer.
