Dilemma 7

Q Watch: Ethical dilemma number seven: Military Service Discuss: How should we determine who will serve in the military? All written material will be judged not only on content but style. Typos, grammatical and spelling errors, and dishonesty (plagiarism) will all count against the final grade assigned. To successfully participate in a discussion forum, students will need to post a minimum of three relevant postings to the discussion, over at least three different days of the week. To be considered relevant, the posting must move the discussion forward with new information, opinion or direction. Posting only “I agree” or “I disagree” is not considered relevant, and will not be considered a relevant post. It is of course permissible to agree or disagree with a fellow classmate – as long as defensible reasons for the new position are provided. No personal attacks or disruptive behavior will be tolerated in the discussion. I believe the discussion boards are very important - hence I count them as a large part of your final grade. You will find I am generous with extra credit for bar-raising participation. Participate at least three different times a week, raise the bar each time, reference the sources for your opinions and you will do well. Keep the conversation flowing!

The military has many non-combat roles equally as important as those who are fighting safety on the front lines. No matter what skill set you have, there is a job that will fit you in the United States Military. As someone who enlisted in the Army at 18 to get access to the GI Bill, I feel that I have an interesting perspective on military service. As a student who finished High School in 2008 and had parents who did not want to fill out the FASFA, I was desperate to create a college opportunity. While I was not drafted into the military, 18-year-old me was left with very few options on earning my spot at a college desk.
