Personal Experience Paper: Nine Years of War

Abstract

The U.S. Army has endured severe problems at home as a result of a long war against terrorism. Starting since 11 September 2001, when the war on terrorism began, the U.S. Army- in addition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan- it had to fight a third war here at home. This war involves American Soldiers having difficulty coping to garrison environment and way of living. The effect of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has caused the US Army to lose its focus on military standards of discipline and military bearing.
