A military organization is an organization which exists to fight wars. It has a legalized and legitimized use of violence in the interests of the state which it serves. In a democracy or other political system run in the public interest, it is a public force.

In North American English military is common as a noun -one can talk about "a military" or "the military"- but in British and Commonwealth English it is normally used as an adjective -one refers to "a military force" or "military organization".

Is encouraging youths to seek alternatives to the Military a good project to start?
Q. Such as I will join a group that offers alternatives to the military, I may branch off and do my own thing. I want to enourage 10,000 youths to seek an alternative to the Military, then my mission is complete. Ultimately, the Military will improve, and people will be generally less unhappy. Honestly the military is not a jobs program and doesn't help people get a job after a 4 to 6 years enlistment. It gives general work experiance, but that is about it. The qualifications do not necessarly translate well or cross over into the civilian sector in mot cases. The GI Bill isn't what it is cracked-up to be, neither is T.A. Recruiters LIE, someone needs to save these people from these predators.

A. The whole military system is a joke Nothing against the soldiers but your not well paid and you don't really get allot out of joining but your expected to PAY the ultimate price die for what a small portion of the government believes is the right thing to do...they prey on the misfortune of the countries poor and misguided by making false promises and not coming through on many ... How many wounded soldiers would you say now have a better life because of the gov? How about the ones who died? Or their families?? That being said I believe ANY person serving in our military who is wounded, hurt or killed in service including mental problems that are caused from seeing and doing many things they do should be taken care of for the rest… [cont.]

What type of women do military men prefer?
Q. The party girl type or the type that is more quiet and reserved? I'm the quiet type and I would just like to know what guys prefer.I directed the question towards military men because the guy that I'm interested in just happens to be in the military?
Asked by Queen - Sat Nov 29 20:49:39 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't think there is a certain "type" that military men look for. Every military guy could like a different kind of gal. Look at all the different types of people we have in the military...everything from cowboys to preps to gangstas. The most common thing I hear from the guys is that they won't date a military girl.

How did the military split off into different branches?
Q. I'm curious if any one knows the history of how the military branched off into different services, such as the Army, Navy, Airforce and marines.

  • "In the various states of society, armies are recruited from very different motives. Barbarians are urged by the love of war; the citizens of a free republic may be prompted by a principle of duty; the subjects, or at least the nobles, of a monarchy, are animated by a sentiment of honor; but the timid and luxurious inhabitants of a declining empire must be allured into the service by the hopes of profit, or compelled by the dread of punishment".
  • "What the main drift of the twentieth century has revealed is that the economy has become concentrated and incorporated in the great hierarchies, the military has become enlarged and decisive to the shape of the entire economic structure; and moreover the economic and the military have become structurally and deeply interrelated, as the economy has become a seemingly permanent war economy; and military men and policies have increasingly penetrated the corporate economy".
