" UNITED STATES v. VIRGINIA
This research paper discusses the decision by the Supreme Court in United States v. Virginia et al. 518 U.S. 515 of June 26, 1996 which effectively ended the single-sex admissions policy of Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and explores the legal analysis underpinning the Court's holding and its impact and implications for the future.
Summary
After a protracted battle in federal courts, the Supreme Court decided by a seven-to-one majority that VMI's all-male admission policy violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The majority acknowledged that VMI's adversative method of instruction for training citizen-soldiers was unique and had substantial value. However.."

He discusses why he would like to attend this program and why he feels he would be an ideal candidate and should be accepted.
From the Paper
"There are so many things about study in the UK which appeal to me. One is that the programs are of such high quality, and allow me to specialize easily in the field which is most specific to my needs. In addition, the ability to complete to degree in just one year is especially important to someone like me, who is in mid-career, married and with a child. In addition, I do not want to take a longer sabbatical from my job than I absolutely have to. I am lucky enough to have a job that I truly love. I do not want to lose my position with this company. On the contrary, it is my desire to stay with this company, and bring to my position all that I possibly can. I don't want to be out of the loop too long. Of course, in all honesty I must admit that I also do not want to be too long away from my family, who will wait for me in Vietnam and depend upon me for support."

"This legal memorandum discusses and analyzes the constitutional law applicable to gender specific institutions of higher learning, as established by the Supreme Court in its seven to one decision in United States v. Virginia, 518 U.S. 515 (1996). Its overall conclusion is that after this case it is for all practical purposes constitutionally impermissible for institutions of higher learning to maintain single-sex admissions policies or to prevent either gender from being eligible to participate in undergraduate activities. Some nuances and ambiguities of meaning and interpretation were left open by the Court's ruling, most of which had more to do with the attempt by Justice Ruth Ginsburg in the majority opinion to reconcile the majority opinion with prior Supreme Court..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses in detail the reasons why the military has always been the most influential institution in Pakistan. The writer summarizes the factors behind the rise of the army to such influence in context with all the military and political governments that have come to power since 1947. This paper also focuses on how the military regimes have tried to maximize the army's influence in the civil domain, creating a military bureaucracy. An evaluation of the present situation is also provided with the implications it might have in the future. Finally, a limited set of recommendations are also considered for a solution to this consistent military influence in the country's politics.
Outline:
Introduction
First Direct Military Intervention
Conclusion & Recommendations
From the Paper
"Pakistan's founder Jinnah had stressed on the making of a constitution as soon as possible but his untimely death only a year later and then the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan left the Muslim League and the nation with no real leader who could pursue the Quaid's vision. Then the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly (which was formed before partition to draft a constitution) by Ghulam Mohammad resulted in Pakistan not having the rules laid down for a proper political system. In such circumstances the military establishment on its own assumed the responsibility to govern Pakistan. It might sound like a very noble deed on their part but a full and critical analysis shows the military had its own reasons for such an intervention. After the initial eleven years of wrangling between bureaucrats in politics, the military establishment has been the major power-house institution to rule Pakistan."

Abstract
This paper discusses the military's use of film as a propaganda tool. The films that examined in the paper are "Battlefield" and "The Manchurian Candidate". Other topics discussed include the Cold War and the use of ideology.
From the Paper
"Depictions of the US Military in film have varied considerably over the years. Some films portray the US Military as a negative force that is being used to repress the average citizen. Others portray the US Military in a very positive light by suggesting that they are the average citizen's last defense against hostile nations. Although both depictions can be found in films from any year there are definitely patterns in the proportions of the depictions. In certain time periods the negative depictions of the US Military will outnumber the positive ones. In other time periods the positive depictions..."

Abstract
This paper traces the history of African-American Islam, especially the the Nation of Islam (NOI). The author describes the ways that Black Muslims have develop a well-formed presence as a "fifth column" within U.S. institutions over the past four decades. The paper stresses that the merging of the preachings of NOI with mainstream Islamic thought should be another alert on the Global War on Terror (GWOT) front. The author concludes that a blatant danger could be posed from inside the military and government institutions and this must be understood and addressed.

From the Paper
"Several recruiting methods have served both the NOI and other Islamic groups over the years. It has been well-documented that prisons are fertile grounds for organized efforts to recruit converts to Islam, and the clerics backed by Saudi-funded, Muslim-American organizations have been the instrument for indoctrination. Even Senate hearings were conducted in 2003 to address recruitment and infiltration of Islamist in the US penal system and the military."

Illegal Drugs Usage in the Military, 2006.
A discussion of the use of drugs in the U.S. military.
960 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines drug usage in the United States military and some of the steps the military is taking to combat drugs. The paper explains that drug usage in the military is beginning to rise again and the military is attempting to combat illegal drug usage in a variety of ways. The paper then points out that the military seems to be sending the wrong message by reducing waiting times for drug tests and may be adding to the problem with these new policies. The paper also looks at how the U.S. military continues to pursue illegal drug use among its members by testing before and after enlistment and making it clear that the military has a "zero-tolerance" stand on drug abuse. The paper suggests that many soldiers do not need zero-tolerance, they need help and understanding to break their addiction.
From the Paper
"Drug use in the military is not new. World War II veterans remember taking methamphetamines to stay awake during combat, and marijuana usage was quite common during the Vietnam War. However, today the U.S. military frowns on illegal drug use, and they have taken several steps to make sure that military personnel do not take illegal drugs. Before enlistment, recruits must pass a drug test, and there is random drug testing throughout the military after enlistment. In fact, "the military randomly tests about 10 percent of personnel each month" ("Drug Use"). Unfortunately, there is still an illegal drug problem in the military, and personnel who test positive for drugs can face discharge."

Abstract
This paper explores the growing cocaine and marijuana market in Latin American countries and the lack of local resources available to prevent this valuable and profitable industry from expanding even more. The writer of this paper details the U.S. military's role in aiding these countries, as well as the cost to the American people, while pondering if the American military should even be involved in drug related issues outside the U.S. The cost for the military intervention in the war on drugs continues to rise and has created entirely new perceptions about money and the military both within and outside the U.S. This paper discusses the military involvement in the war on drugs and cites the leading recipients of aid, military equipment, training and personnel. This paper also delves into a program, involving military participation, which was recently introduced in Congress, called the Western Hemisphere Drug Elimination Act. This act would authorized $2.3 billion over three years for military hardware, personnel, training and a small amount for alternative crop development in various Latin American countries.
From the Paper
"Even though the House and various representatives have called on military action, the Pentagon was reluctant- albeit, it finally was dragged into it. Even though the Pentagon budget continues to grow, year after year, there are still concerns that legislators who dole out the tens of millions of dollars are underestimating the total cost. In a recent report to the House and Senate armed services committees, the Department of Defense estimated that "24-hour surveillance of the U.S. 'southern fence', the border from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Diego, full interdiction capability, and C13 programs, would cost between $480.4 million and $760.5 million annually, depending on the equipment mix ." All this money without a single soldier leaving the continental U.S.- even though advisers may now be operating in the various targeted Latin American countries. All that has been publicized, and strongly so, are planes and equipment, everything from helicopters to flame throwers which are supposed to be used by the local troops."

Outline
German Air Campaign in Malta
United States Air Campaign in Vietnam
British Campaign in the Falkland Islands
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Italy declared war on the allies on June 10, 1940 and the next day saw the first air attacks on Malta. Over the next three years, no month would pass without some type of air attack. On June 12th the RAF responded with attacks on Italy from planes based on the island. With the fall of France in July 1940, Italy assumed a dominant role in the central Mediterranean. The situation for the allies in the western Mediterranean along the shipping lanes between Gibraltar and Malta became particularly tenuous with the loss of Algeria and Tunis. Because of its strategic location as a base for aircraft and naval units, in August the decision was made to reinforce Malta, in what became the first of many reinforcement and resupply efforts. Forces based on Malta were in the perfect position to raid German freighters and air transports heading south to supply Rommel and the Afrika Korps in North Africa. The remainder of 1940 saw continued sparring between the British and Italians over Malta. The German Luftwaffe has yet to arrive."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a perspective on military strategy through review of the books ?The Soldier and the State? by Samuel Huntington and ?War and Politics? by Bernard Brodie which explain military preferences regarding decisions to go to war, when to escalate wars and how to prepare for war. It discusses the reasons for and why, the military makes decisions that are rooted in a strict code of adherence to an internal value system; a schematic designed primarily for the organizations continuity which in turn ultimately protects the state as a whole.
Outline
Overview of Military System and Preparation for War
Military Preference to go to War
Decision to Escalate Wars
What is a Military Man
Overview
From the Paper
"The JTF commander operates at the operational level and determines how he is going to accomplish the military strategic objectives, what resources are available and additional capabilities that may be required. He determines the operational objectives necessary to accomplish the mission. These decisions/plans are next transmitted to the tactical level?forces that actually do the fighting?the Army divisions, the Air Force expeditionary wings, the Navy?s carrier battle groups, and the Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEFs). This preparation commits the military to war. Once the forces are dedicated to the conflict often an unavoidable escalation occurs."

Homosexuality in the U.S. Military, 2005.
Examines the policies toward homosexuals in the United States military.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Beginning with the discharge of Gotthold Fredrick Enslin from the U.S. military in 1778, this paper examines the history of homosexuality, which has emerged as one of the most salient issues within the U.S. military, as harassment, abuse, expulsion, and, in rare cases, murder, have become prevalent practices towards homosexuals. The paper examines the policies of the American government towards banning homosexuals from the military and Bill Clinton's 1993 law, which repudiated the ban that has enabled the U.S. military the legal right to exclude homosexuals from military service. The paper also looks at the issue of modesty and the the opinion of those who who feel that heterosexual soldiers might become sexual objects for homosexual soldiers if they were admitted into the military.
From the Paper
"While the military's policy necessitates that gay men remain reticent of their sexual orientation, Professor Aaron Belkin affirms that if the ban were to be lifted, very few gays would actually come out of the closet because in most cases an openly gay individual would find himself in a rather precarious situation. The malicious nature of fellow service-members is a consequence of our society's unfamiliarity with homosexuality, consequently creating a propensity for many soldiers to make presumptions based on little information. Moreover, the policy of preserving the modesty of heterosexual men is based on the prudishness of American society and more importantly a naive conviction that homosexual attraction is congruent to heterosexual attraction."

"Man has always thirsted for education and self-improvement. The ability to cognate and reason distinguishes man as superior to other species. From the Greeks to the Romans in Europe, to the Chinese and the Indians in the Asian subcontinent, to the American Indian tribes of North America and the Mayans from South America, every civilization has displayed formal or informal educational structures. These edifices were the building blocks of their respective societies. Many of these societies evolved from an informal style of education to a more formal and generalized format over the period of the existence of any civilization."

Abstract
This study examines the relationship between U.S. military success and the acquisition of airstrips in enemy territory. It puts forward that argument that U.S. military forces have the ability to successfully accomplish any mission when provided with access and control of foreign airfields. Successful military operations are dependent upon reliable air delivery technologies and airfield infrastructures. These infrastructures provide the communications support and manpower necessary to promote success in any climate. The study focuses on the ability of the U.S. military to project itself to any theater of war from any aircraft carrier. It also details the importance of securing military airstrips to enable deployment of additional troops and supplies. It links past military successes with such efforts.

From the Paper
"In most cases airfields are developed near cities, which may provide key strategic locality for military personnel. The acquisition of airfields in the past has often meant the difference between success and failure. Oftentimes, air force personnel have no method of relief other than provided through air transportation. Supplies and personnel can be delivered thanks to modern technologies. Military strategic objectives revolve around the ability of personnel to seize or gain access to key installations. Operatives are no longer reliant upon the capability of ships. The center of gravity for military success has definitely become military airstrips. The recent military success in Afghanistan further supports the idea that the U.S. military dominates in the arena of airpower, and can adapt their operations to accommodate an airfield whether it is fully equipped or unprepared."
