When the summer ends, though, will Rutger head back to Maryland after a season in Lake Erie? Can they remain friends or, better still, move from friends to lovers?

Download or read book The Marines Counterinsurgency and Strategic Culture written by Jeannie L. Johnson and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Marine Corps has a unique culture that ensures comradery, exacting standards, and readiness to be the first to every fight. Yet even in a group that is known for innovation, culture can push leaders to fall back on ingrained preferences. Jeannie L. Johnson takes a sympathetic but critical look at the Marine Corps’s long experience with counterinsurgency warfare. Which counterinsurgency lessons have been learned and retained for next time and which have been abandoned to history is a story of battlefield trial and error--but also a story of cultural collisions. The book begins with a fascinating and penetrating look inside the culture of the Marine Corps through research in primary sources, including Marine oral histories, and interviews with Marines. Johnson explores what makes this branch of the military distinct: their identity, norms, values, and perceptual lens. She then traces the history of the Marines’ counterinsurgency experience from the expeditionary missions of the early twentieth century, through the Vietnam War, and finally to the Iraq War. Her findings break new ground in strategic culture by introducing a methodology that was pioneered in the intelligence community to forecast behavior. Johnson shows that even a service as self-aware and dedicated to innovation as the Marine Corps is constrained in the lessons-learned process by its own internal predispositions, by the wider US military culture, and by national preferences. Her findings challenge the conclusions of previous counterinsurgency scholarship that ignores culture. This highly readable book reminds us of Sun Tzu’s wisdom that to be successful in war, it is important to know thyself as well as the enemy. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the Marines Corps, counterinsurgency warfare, military innovation, or strategic culture.

Download or read book Amongst the Marines written by Steven Preece and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steven Preece was a Royal Marine Commando from 1983 to 1990, serving first at entry-level and then as a lance-corporal. Amongst the Marines is Steven's first-hand account of his years as an elite soldier, focusing directly on the excessive and often shocking lifestyle of the Marines during this time, and impact this had on his own personality and behaviour. Preece fulfilled his childhood ambition by earning the coveted Green Beret when he was 18. He was unaware, however, of the brutal rite of passage that awaited him and all the other 'pieces of skin' [new recruits]. Violence in the Marines, as Steven discovered, was not limited to the battlefield but a continual part of a pervasive culture of bullying and aggression. It did not take long for Preece to be accepted into this culture and to adopt it as his own. On duty he was fit, committed and loyal, while off duty he displayed a mammoth capacity for drinking, fighting and womanising. On home leave, Steven found it increasingly hard to adapt to civilian life. His drinking sessions in local pubs frequently ended in fights with the locals and even in violence against members of his own family. Preece earned a reputation amongst his fellow Marines for pranks and dangerous behaviour; and this eventually led him to be court-maritialled. To his relief and surprise, however, Preece was fully acquitted by the court. Amongst the Marines is an unflinching exposé of the culture of the Marines, from foul practical jokes and rough justice to the off-duty orgies of drink, sex and violence. It is a no-holds-barred account of the many shocking incidents Preece witnessed and participated in, from his first day as a new recruit to his exit from the Marines with his reputation intact and his scores settled once and for all.

Download or read book Sex Drugs Jesus written by De'Vannon Hubert and published by De'Vannon Hubert. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparency is one of the most effective tools we have that can help us heal. It can also help us understand ourselves better as well as other people. What would you do if you believed you only had months to live? How would you feel if your community was stolen from you? Could you survive living on the streets for any length of time? Can you imagine what it's like to try to find a job when you have felonies on your record? Are there any words to describe the heart of a mother as she watches her youngest child die? It’s taken my whole life to realize that the main person I’ve been battling against has been me. As such, my memoir delves into raw detail about my war with my myself. I open up about my crystal meth addiction and how I became a drug dealer in Houston, Tx. The pain of growing up in poverty under the hand of an abusive dad is put on display as well. The time I spent serving in the Air Force during Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and the promiscuity that went along with it is also divulged. I talk about how I received my HIV + diagnosis on a voicemail and my Hep B + diagnosis in the postal mail. My story gets more intense as I share about how I got 3 felonies, the time I spent in jail, and how I ended up homeless after S.W.A.T. kicked my door in. I talk about the biggest heartbreak in my life which happened when I was kicked out of a megachurch, that I had served with my whole soul for years, just because I am a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and refused to accept the conversion therapy package they offered. So often people judge those who have been in similar situations. My hope is that my honesty can offer a glimpse into these issues from the inside, rather than from the outside looking in. I struggled with dividing my memoir into two separate books, but I felt it would be more impactful to tell everything all at once. My memoir is my testament and it’s the greatest form of outreach I have ever offered to the world. I hope that I can earn your trust and attention with the words I have written within these pages.

Download or read book Finding Free Energy written by L.R. Torres and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is incumbent upon man to become aware of the powerful forces that surround him and may be leading him to a possible unexpected outcome. He must come out of complacency and see his purpose for what it is was meant to be by the Creator. The status quo of oil should be slowly but unequivocally phased out. When it first oozed from the ground, it became the driving force of the economy. It was meant to be that way. God made sure of that. But man has decided today to abuse that purpose by using it to manipulate economies and start wars in the name of peace, only to lead man in the path of destruction by the way of an agenda. Man feels he must take control of man, contrary to the wishes of God. But man can save himself by bringing about the change that is waiting to be unveiled in the ushering in of free energy. It is real but must be given the proper venue. My life tells a metaphor as a connection, like thunder as the voice of God and lighting as the glare of his eyes that foretell a warning, though it is so common, man tends not to see the connection. He must look at things differently. It is not for me to judge. The Creator has the last word on that, just as He has the last word in the written prophesies. However, I can suggest, though controversial it might seem, but not to dismiss that perhaps it is a destiny to fit within the context of prophetical events. My inquisitiveness, with its very humble beginnings and all of its twists and turns, brought me to these times and led me to a quest to seek a truth that must be acknowledged. It is the key to avert war and bring about peace. It is the simple inventions in search of that truth that so many are seeking, including me. It is the connection between God and man just as certain as Jesus was His begotten son to serve as the check and balance for the assurance of peace if man chooses. And it is the complete story a metaphor that parallels the troubles of man with the possible outcomes and in congruence with the vigilance of the angels who don't sleep but are paying attention, who will allow peace, lest man bring wrath upon himself. He is the magnet that holds the truth as is the physical magnet that holds that secret, the secret to Finding Free Energy.
