Pros and Cons of the National Guard. Top Story - September 2017.
A military career is something many of us have considered in passing. We've wondered if it's the right choice for us, if it can provide as well as people say it will, and possibly if it's actually something that would mesh well with the personalities and values we have.

To My Cousin
When I was younger, I lived in the States – The United States of America. The war in Iraq was very real in my grade five mind, and I respected and was in awe of the military. They risked their lives even just by signing up for service. We had an older lady who just seemed to always be there (I know she wasn’t a teacher, but I don’t recall what her actual job was) who had a son in Iraq. That always struck a cord with me.

9/11 Memories... Never Forget
It was one of those moments that make you want to scream. I didn’t know what was going on, or why things were happening. I was too young to truly understand, yet, somehow, I was completely aware of the possibilities. Just moving from Ohio, we were in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the time, my dad was an Air Force Captain at Nellis, Air Force Base. I was seven years old, a mere third grader.

Navy SEAL Requirements
The Navy SEALs are considered to be the toughest that the US military has to offer, and joining the SEALs is something that many people dream of doing. After all, that's why they're featured in so many movies. Unfortunately, just because you want to join the Navy SEALs, doesn't mean you can.

In Defence of the Tank #3: WW1 Part 2 - The Arms Race Begins.. Top Story - September 2017.
In the last article, we investigated the introduction of the tank and its premature battlefield debut at The Battle of Flers-Courcelette. By introducing the MK1 tank too early, and in numbers too few, the British were unable to fully capitalise on their new invention. Even more worrisome for the British, it gave the Germans the time and breathing room they needed to develop counters to it.

Movie Review: 'Fallen'
How do I write fairly about a documentary about police officers? It’s harder than it seems. Police officers have become polarizing figures in our culture and writing about them inevitably leads to arguments on all sides. If I don’t write critically of police officers I will be accused of ignoring the terrible traumas that police officers have inflicted upon the innocent and guilty alike. If I write negatively of police officers I am accused of not understanding the difficulty of their job and having some leftist political agenda.

Must Watch Navy SEAL Movies
The Navy SEAL program is one of legend. No one trains harder than them, no one is stronger than them, and they're considered to be the very best special forces team in the world. Is it any surprise, then, that so many movies have been made about this elite fighting force?
