Military Leaders Studying Military History: America's Military Men and Women

Abstract

America's military men and women are of outstanding caliber and must be prepared to effectively fight and defeat a determined enemy. Despite the constant claim of success by Military Leaders, we must analyze the forces that have inhibited the military from being ready to fight during the initial phases of wars fought throughout our nations history. In this paper I will argue that the countless death of US Soldiers contributed to what the Military classifies as "nonhostile" fatalities is overwhelming evidence of this fact. As the death toll of America's fighting men and women reach unprecedented numbers due to "nonhostile" fatalities, studying military history is critical for todays leaders in the twentieth century.
