Book Description
Women and men are socialized to accept and perform certain gendered roles generally man as warrior/protector and woman as caretaker/protected. The United States Military depends on the wives of servicemen to embrace these gendered roles in order to carry out military operations such as Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF.) The conservative nature of the military, its demand for obedience and loyalty, the dependency of military wives on the military community for financial and social support to cope with the hardships of military life contribute to the reluctance of those opposed to OIF to publicly express this opposition and/or contribute to their negative perceptions of the antiwar movement. Although large-scale opposition to OIF among military wives is unlikely, to avoid further alienating military wives and potential allies, members of the anti-war movement should consider the impact that specific methods of protest have on military families and engage in anti-war activities accordingly.

Book Description
Based on personal interviews with military spouses, as well as current articles and statistics and studies from the Department of Defense and Rand National Defense Research Institute, this book provides an objective look at America's military family in the 21st century, and explains how the military is attempting to improve family life. Following the Flag discusses both the problems and perks of today's armed forces families. It particularly looks at the military family since America has become involved in peace-keeping missions in Africa and combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Studies on family stress connected with deployment (depression, divorce, domestic violence) are presented. A special focus is the families of the National Guard and Reserves who are often unprepared, emotionally and financially, for family members to be called to duty. In addition, the book provides current information on nontraditional military families. These include female military personnel married to civilian males, who many times must place their careers second and follow their wives to new assignments, and families where both spouses are military personnel who can be deployed at any time. Many changes have occurred in the American armed forces over the past three decades. An all-volunteer military came into being after the end of conscription in 1973; women have joined the force in ever increasing numbers; service personnel today are again involved in combat situations around the world; reserve and guard units have been called to active duty. With these developments, the role of military families has changed as well. This book explains what the those changes have been, and what they have meant to the families involved.

Book Description
SPOILED AND UNGOVERNED, FITZ WAS NOT SUITABLE COMPANION FOR A LADY OF FASHION.... And certainly no proper chaperon. Fitz begged to disagree--after all, a dog was a true Incomparable as far as friendship, loyalty, and protection--and soon lovely Miss Sonia was plucked by her rusticated roots and packed off, dog and all, to London. Perhaps there she would find a husband to tame her free-spirited ways--and keep her out of trouble. Sonia, however, always had a soft spot for the underdog, and Darius Conover was such a fellow. Scorned by society for a scandalous deed, Conover was not redeemed even by his heroics in battle. Until he met Sonia and Fitz, two passionate souls undaunted by even the most odious circumstances--and decidedly determined to undo the shackles binding his heart.

Book Description
A very true life history written by a chaplain. Father Tito is the writer of his life. He’s known by many different names yet I believe Father Tito best tells who he is. If there seems to be confusion in his life’s story, that’s because I don’t believe he never really knew who he was. He had been a compassionate chaplain. He was a merciless killer. He spoke out against many, not making him the most popular man at times. Thus he had many enemies. He especially spoke against the injustices of his own government. He went after the bullies of the Belt Way who created wars for just shear profit. His jangled life began without any control over his existence. It continued such until his later years. His chief controller was his own country, the United States of America. With all the covert acts of patriotic duty he was never recognized. He was a hidden secret in his country. He had been stripped of his existence. No awards, applauses, thank you or even “up yours.” This compassionate chaplain became a hit man for his country, not totally out of patriotic loyalty, but because his parents’ lives were threatened. Therefore he completed covert missions created for him especially, since he was a genius. If you have trouble following the contents of this true story it’s because you’re walking inside the brain of a genius, a tortured child prodigy. A mind that’s forever in movement. Twisted thoughts. Reminiscent events of the past. His mind full of real information. Terror inside because of the demons of the past pop up. Demonic confusion utters or screams from his mouth. He talks incessantly, not always in any type of the average chronological brain, the order of the average man Tito’s order is scrambled, dictated to him to speak by his overactive mind. So again, be patient and you will discover a man persecuted by the realms surrounding him-----family, friends, church, country and the world.
