 | WITH LESS THAN one half of one percent of the U.S. population in the Armed Forces, it is not surprising that many Americans know little about their military or the sacrifices military members and their families make for the Nation. The professional military is often viewed as a breed apart, a closed hierarchal organization resembling a monastic order.1 Indeed, some scholars have identified not just a cloister wall, but a ... |

| When asking a customer when they need something done you've most likely heard the reply, Yesterday! Why is this answer so common? Possibly it's because customers typically do not request products until they are needed. I liken this phenomenon to my lunchtime habits.

| The abuse of prisoners by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib had broad struggle consequences, leading many people around the world to question the legitimacy of U.S. goals and activities in Iraq. This paper draws on extensive unclassified reports from multiple investigations that followed Abu Ghraib and applies key psychological as well as social-situational perspectives to develop a better grasp of the causative factors.
