Animals and War
"Dogs are miracles with paws." -Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy
Are you a pet lover? What is your favorite pet? As for me it a dog, because I think dogs are more versatile than any other pet. They are eyes for the blind, trained for drug seizure, help find missing persons, service to man in war, and are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their master. They are loyalty and very lovable to have as a pet.
For many centuries animals have been use througout warfares. Animals has done great work in combat zones. One of the most faithful animal in war have been the horse. During the prehistoric era animals were corporated into the armed forces in places like Europe, Egypt, America,and England. The horses were a great asset when it came to getting ammunition and supplies to the front line. They could travel ground where none other could travel. During the wars hundred thousands of horses died mostly from stravation, illness, heat exhaustion, and froze to death, than by enemy fire.
Another great animal to serve with man in war is the dog. As I mentioned is the most versatile of man's best friend. Dogs were afforded training school and learned to carry out many different tasks. They learned how to be ammo carriers, carry messages, to be watch dogs, mine sniffers, and even how to lay telegraph lines in the wilderness.
Someone must carry the load. And this is when the elephant comes in to play. None other animal have taken part in the war like the elephant. The elephant has definitely been a warrior in in battles. The military employed the elephant to haul timber, tons of logs, building briges and roads through the jungle. They huge animals are able to carry heavy loads.
It would not be correct to forget the humped-back warrior, the camel. You see he is one of a kind. Able to carry very heavy loads for a distant without even water or food. The camel can perform well in hot climates such as the desert. In the desert, he has an edge over other animals and humans too.

A Deadly Month for US and Iraqis
Is it time to bring the service members home?
April has been the dealiest in the last seven month, with a death toll of approximately 18 service members. And the Iraqi deaths rose to the highest it been this year.
These deaths have increase as results of suicide bombing. In a the latest attack, a suicide bomber blew himself up, killed five and wounded 10 in the city of Mosul.
The attacks has sparked concerns rather or not the Iraqis are ready to take over the responsibily for their own security, as troops began to be pulled out of Iraq.
Since there are questions about the readiness of the Iraqis, does that means that other forces are to remain in Iraq?

The Art of War
War is like everything else, there are certain steps and procedures to be utilized if there is to be a successful outcome. One of the best-known written strategy on wars is the work of a great Philosopher Sun Tzu's Art or War. He is believed to have lived some two thousand years ago.
"He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious".- Sun Tzu
Conflicts are necessary for the development and growth of mankind and its environment. There will be very little or no growth without conflicts. According to the Bible, Ecclesiastes,3:8. "There is a time of war and a time of peace".
From the ancient time up to this day, Mankind have been faced with conflicts and wars. Wars will continue to be passed on from generations to generations until the end of time. Each conflict requires strategic planning, as every conflict is unique in it own way. Behind every battle that is lead to victory,stands a good leader.This good leader must see a need for a battle/war. Under no circumstances must he proceed if he cannot foresee winning the battle. He must have some type of understanding of equipment being used in the battle. And an understanding of his men. Certainly, a good leader should be of great focus and sound mind. The leaders must understand the risks and know the benefits. Preparation is the key to Victory!!
