In World War II approximately thirty percent of wounded soldiers died. The Vietnam War's fatality rate was also high with twenty-four percent of wounded soldiers dying in battle. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan seem to have a relatively low casualty rate with one in every ten wounded soldiers dying. But this low mortality rate brings with it its own problems. More soldiers may be surviving, but their lives are still devastatingly affected by...more
In the 1990s the crime rate in the U.S. dropped dramatically in all significant categories, including violent crime and property crime. Some experts attribute this drop to the strong economy that existed throughout most of the decade, when the per capita income increased by as much as 30% and the unemployment rate dropped by 2%.[1] These numbers have pushed many experts in the field to speculate on the potential effects that today's recessed...more
It is becoming more obvious as time passes, that, elected officials are no longer representing the American people, but rather, special interest groups. The longer our elected officials serve the more corrupt they become. I have outlined several ways of significant importance that We can take America back and fix the major problems within the economy.Amending the Constitution â" It is time to correct the wrong that was never presented. I propose a Constitutional Amendment that makes elected politicians be on term limits. The plan is very simple.The House of Representatives can serve up to 6 terms (12 years). They will be mandated to give up their seat for one term (2 years) and then be eligible to run for the House again. This will allow a stop-gap from allowing corruption to infiltrate our system in the House of Representative.The Senate will be allowed to run for 3 terms (18 years). They will be mandated to give up their seat for one term (6 years) and then be eligible to run for the Senate again. This will allow a stop-gap from allowing corruption to infiltrate our system in the Senate.Any criminal activity needs to be investigated and prosecuted and hold all elected...more

This is a common ritual and part of our culture for people that are "in-love" and wanting to share their lives together. Then after years gone by, we look at each other and...more
What did the founding forefathers mean when they wrote: "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"? Does the 2nd Amendment refer to the right of the state to convene an armed militia to protect against federal tyranny? Or is it the individual...more
Machine guns arrived during World War I and completely transformed the battlefield. Early prototypes required four to six men to operate and were very heavy to carry but could do a lot of damage to enemy forces. Many of these new guns jammed or became overheated, so many rows were grouped together to maintain a defensive position. By the end of the war, lighter offensive machine guns were developed that could be carried by individual soldiers through all sorts of terrain, which became especially useful during World War II and Vietnam. These mass-killing machines are not only coveted by soldiers, but also by civilians who are impressed by their sheer power. Collectors may find it difficult to legally own one of these machines, however. Machine guns are carefully regulated by federal law. First, every machine gun must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (except antiques that no longer fire). Secondly, private individuals cannot transfer or sell guns except those possessed and registered before May 1986. Instead, they must go through licensed dealers. Anyone transferring or manufacturing must get ATF approval. Transferring the guns costs $200 in...more
