  • How Did The French Civil War Change American Society

    1047 Words  | 5 Pages

    The art of war passed through a fundamental transformation, especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries. Changes involved all aspects of warfare, strategy, operations, logistics and tactics. That period saw unprecedented economic, social, and political change. Therefore, the manner in which a given society wages war is the typical product of the whole societal, political, and economic system for that society. While the economic, societal and politic order that characterized the period between the religion wars and the French revolution had limited warfare; mass politics, nationalism and the industrial revolution which marked the era of the French revolution and the U.S. Civil War remade warfare from its strategic, operational, logistic

    It is evident that the results could have been much more impressive and lopsided if they truly leveraged the benefits afforded by joint function integration. The Allies failed to embrace all three tenets associated with successful mission command. Shortcomings were inevitable as commander’s intent, understanding and trust were never fully established. The Allies were able to integrate the joint functions of fires and movement and maneuver especially between land and naval entities. However, air force integration left much to be desired.

  • The Pros And Cons Of US Invasion Tactics

    756 Words  | 4 Pages

    WWII was the bloodiest conflict in human history, but some would say that the U.S invasion tactics were too far or just necessary. In my opinion I feel that you have to show dominance to others for them to see that you mean business, but I don’t agree with the pulverizing innocent civilians to their deaths. Although the necessity of a US invasion was debated within the US military (US Army was for, US Navy was against) the general consensus judging by the Battle of Iwo Jima and Battle of Okinawa is that an invasion of the Japanese home islands would be costly. With a deterrent to the USSR, the Soviets invaded Manchuria on August 9, 1945 only 3 days after the Hiroshima bombing and 9 hours before the Nagasaki bombing. The US were aware that the USSR would enter the Pacific War on 9 August because at the Yalta Conference

  • The Pros And Cons Of Drone Warfare

    444 Words  | 2 Pages

    Within the past couple of decades, the US has introduced a new type of warfare–the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or more commonly known as drones. Being as small as a hummingbird or as large as a Boeing 757 aircraft, their pilots can sit back and enjoy the ride in Nevada, while the UAV is hovering over Pakistan or Saudi Arabia waiting for the moment to launch a missile attack. Although drones have done harm to many civilians, the technology is improving every year, meaning drones will be more accurate with their attacks; thus, drones should be kept in our society because they also prevent US soldiers’ deaths and the percentage of civilian casualties in a drone attack has gone from 28% in 2008 to 16% in 2011, says The Moral Case for Drones.
