Short Essay

1. We have analyzed different periods throughout this course for evidence of the application of Joint Warfare (Army, Navy, Air Force)- based on American military history, is there really a significant advantage to practicing Joint Warfare?

2. The term “conventional” warfare comes to us from the conventions (treaties, laws, etc.) that govern it. Unconventional warfare is then, by definition, other than “conventional” (outside the bounds of treaties, laws, etc.). Given the American military experience you are familiar with, are unconventional forms of warfare illegal or immoral?

3. The American Way of War is attrition warfare- defend or refute this assertion.
