Kaplan, Imperial Grunts
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page book review and research paper that profiles Robert D. Kaplan’s book Imperial Grunts. Reviewer William Holahan states that Kaplan “defines the reach of America’s new imperialism as (being) so broad that it touches all areas of operation under the present combatant commanders” (Holahan, 2006, p. 49). As this definition suggests, an interesting feature of Kaplan’s perspective is that he perceives the idea of America as an imperial conqueror in the tradition of “ancient Greece and Rome, the Ottoman empire, and…Great Britain” as merely stating reality and he, more or less, sees this as a good thing, with the qualification that it should be handled properly (Holahan, 2006, p. 49). This examination of Kaplan’s Imperial Grunts looks specifically at the fifth and eighth chapters, which deal with the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively, in order to ascertain a fuller and more detailed picture of Kaplan’s view of U.S. imperialism. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Key Operations at Nonprofits and in the Public Sector 2
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper comparing points of key operations at nonprofits and among public-sector organizations. Superficially, it would seem that nonprofit organizations and public-sector organizations operate in much the same way. They each have ongoing and basic needs to give concerted attention to issues of operations, including business activity, staffing, funding, housing and maintaining a public presence. In these issues they differ little from organizations operating in the private sector, where the greatest difference is that funding arrives in the form of successful business effort translated from revenues of sales of either goods or services. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Laser-Based Missile Systems
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing the airborne and space-based antiballistic lasers. The military engagements that the US has been involved in over the past decade have highlighted to the American people the advances that technology has introduced into combat and defense. One of the most promising developments for the future, the airborne laser, still is in development. Scheduled for testing in 2004, the antiballistic tool is controversial, but not nearly so much as its counterpart, the space-based laser. Each of these defense lasers were being researched simultaneously, but work on the space-based version recently was halted indefinitely. Both approaches to laser technology, however, illustrate the depth in which US defense is being assessed. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Marines in the "Dwindles"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing Marines' softening stance on recruit training. Long criticized for using boot camp tactics that translate to success when it's needed, the Marine Corps has been yielding to pressures to be "nicer" to recruits. It also has been under pressure to increase the number of recruits it attracts. Both conditions have combined to produce a corps that is less prepared now than in the past, both physically and mentally. This further translates to a Marine Corps that is less battle-ready than in the past, mentally and technically less qualified. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
