...Members of the U.S. Armed Force Being Forced to Pay Income Taxes? It is claimed that no one in the Armed Forces can have a tax income exemption. However, an exemption for Armed Forces personnel is a great thing for the family and the person who is in the Armed Forces. For the people in the Armed Forces there are tremendous risks that the family is put in. The family has to worry about their parent not coming home or coming home but severely injured that they are paralyzed or in need of a prosthetic. If the Armed Forces personnel had that happen to them, the family would not be able to pay for the insurance or funeral. The income that the Armed Forces makes is not enough to pay for a funeral or insurance, or even enough to survive on if they did not have a job. The paychecks that retired military officers from the navy are not enough to support a family of two or even three. Many of these retired personnel find jobs after they leave the military but most of the time they cannot get a good enough paying job to support them for another 40 or 50 years. Many of the military are right out of high school or college, which causes their potential income to decrease when they get older. What would a family do if the parent died in combat and the personal income of that soldier was having income tax taken out? The family would probably not be able to pay for the funeral on their own, which would put them in debt and worse off. If the personal income of a soldier...

...Since 1980 there have been 137 fatal school shootings and 297 lives were lost to these unnecessary acts of violence. In the United States, the threat of school shootings has been an increasing danger to students and teachers alike. Even on July 26, 1764, four Lenape American Indians came into a school and killed the schoolmaster and nine or ten children, this is known as the Enoch Brown school massacre and was a notorious part of Pontiac’s rebellion. The more recent shootings such as Columbine and Virginia Tech a majority of those victims were students. Many of the victims cannot rely on police in the beginning of these attacks, the average shooting lasts around 12 minutes but average police response time is 18 Minutes. Teachers should be able to carry concealed weapons because armed teachers and staff can decrease the threats of school shootings, intruders on campus, and respond to threats faster than the time it takes police officers to respond. The police are effective in handling these threats but the response time can take too long, with school staff members armed with concealed weapons they can stabilize the situation before the police arrive. Carrying a concealed weapons could escalate the confrontation and...

The nine African American teens had to deal with segregation because the National Guard blocked their school so they couldn’t get in, then they had to have an armed escort just to get in, after that they had to deal with all the other kids taunting them because of their color. They all ended up getting into the Little Rock Central HIgh School. During the National Guard blockage, the governor sent the National Guard to the Little Rock Central High School because he didn’t want them in the school because they were colored.

...experience the things kids are supposed to, like, going to school, playing kick ball outside, enjoying the company of friends and developing in a normal way both physically and mentally. However, not all children get to have this simple luxury that many take for granted. Child Soldiers are a fast growing problem in third world countries and need to be stopped.

...To Permanent Representatives of Member and Observer States of the UN Human Rights Council Geneva, 17 September 2014 Your Excellencies, The undersigned human rights and civil rights organizations write to share our concerns about state practices of targeted killings and the use of armed drones. We welcome the holding of a panel on the use of armed drones during the 27th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council and urge UN member states to support and take steps to monitor and promote meaningful transparency and legal compliance by states with regard to their targeted killing policies and practices. In particular, we call on states to publicly disclose their targeted killing standards and criteria; ensure that their use or facilitation of lethal force operations abroad comply with international law; enable meaningful oversight and remedies; and ensure effective investigations, tracking and response to civilian harm. Disclose legal standards and criteria. We are concerned about the lack of transparency in targeted killing operations. While many states affirmed their commitment to transparency at the UN General Assembly in 2013, some states have made only minimal progress in practice. Commitment to the rule of law requires that states disclose the legal constraints on their lethal targeting operations. Greater disclosure of legal and policy standards, and procedural mechanisms, is a prerequisite to informed assessment and debate. We believe this disclosure is...

...Armed Guards in Schools: are More Guns the Best Answer? Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, along with many other americans, was thoroughly upset when Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), suggested armed guards in every school after the Sandy Hook tragedy. Emanuel called it “outrageous and unsettling that the NRA would address gun violence not by taking assault weapons off our streets, but by adding more guns to our schools” (Martin). Some agree with Emanuel, and some think a little more protection could stop these tragedies. Putting armed guards in our schools is not the right answer because schools are already the safest place for kids, we could spend the money on more important things, and having guards has not helped in the past....

...Tommy Huskey English 112 Essay #3 Persuasive Argument Nov. 4, 2015 Military recruiting in public schools Military recruitment has become an important issue. Often in the past some parents and teachers have protested about military personnel visiting schools to talk to students about the armed forces. But since 2001 the No Child Left behind Act has meant that US schools which receive government money must allow the military in to talk to students (Paton). One of the more common proposals is to ban military recruiting of those that are under 18, which would severely limit the ability of recruiters to operate. In the past years the USA and its allies have been involved in major conflicts. There are a lot questions and conflicts with this issue. The positive outcomes of recruitment will be strongly discussed. Do military recruiters provide valuable info? "Douglas Smith, a US Army spokesman, said the job of recruiters is not to make promises but to show...
