An interesting fact about the U.S. Army is that it had created a giant four-legged robot \u00a0in 1969 called the \u201cwalking truck.\u201d It could lift a jeep and walk 5 MPH. In 2007, the U.S. Defense issued a warning that Canadians were planting to spy on the United States.

He decided the military was the best choice. He knows that was an excellent choice and believes that everyone should serve their country. \u00a0By serving, it gives a wider perspective of the world and the government actions. \u00a0Mr.Smedley received partial college tuition reimburse after he served two years active duty in Desert Storm, four years as a Revered, and two years inactive. He wanted to get a start \u00a0on his teaching when he\u00a0 \u00a0became inactive.. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of the 44 who have served as president of the US, had military service. Twenty-four of them served in the Army, or in state. The Army starts with a requirement to serve for four years. \u00a0If you do well, they will ask the person serving if they want to extend the time to 8 years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-26-at-7.22.48-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2034 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-26-at-7.22.48-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"121\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our school Social Worker, Mr. Jumal \u00a0Founani, said he had to served one year in the country. He said he was in the Civil War between the Muslims and the Christians. Like Mr.Smedley, he believes every young man, by the age of 18, needs to join the army for about a year. Mr.Founani said he likes what he&#8217;s doing with his life, but he said serving his country was a good choice he made. He enjoyed his time because also said it was really fun and \u00a0he learned many new things. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He served this country because he said he owes the United States a favor for letting our families come into America. He said he is not sure how long he wants to be in the military. He said it was hard being away from home, but then he got use to it. The military gave him free education, but he already used it. Serving was the best thing he did because it taught him how to be a better man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-26-at-7.22.41-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2035 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/journalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/929\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-26-at-7.22.41-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"111\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hussein Alburkat, \u00a0who has served four years. Had the military ask him to come back another four years due to excellent service. Hussein said he doesn&#8217;t know if he&#8217;s going to serve another four years. He said it\u2019s hard being that far from home and he does miss my mom&#8217;s meals. The food is way different, so when he gets home he&#8217;s not use to the to the food. After serving in military for 7 or 8 months, he can then come home to see his family. Another person I interviewed is Ritchie Elatab he said the reason he joined is to help the community, the country, and he also joined because of his passion about what happened in \u00a09-11. He didn&#8217;t use his free education \u00a0he had free specialized \u00a0training. \u00a0He is currently \u00a0serving \u00a0in the military and has for the past eleven years and wishes to continue serving. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, the military is one of the most armed army\u2019s in the United States. I know that I shown you how good and how bad it is so it\u2019s up to you to decide to join or fight for his or her own country. \u00a0After having several conversation with people I know that served, I have a great respect for the U.S. Army. \u00a0I learned a lot and think that it is best to serve your country. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According, to list 25 The military is one of the most armed armies in the United States.
