For this paper, I had to imagine myself as an American policy expert whose paper’s purpose is to make recommendations to officials in charge of United States (US) foreign policy. Indirectly, advising President-elect Trump on his next course of actions regarding nuclear weapons and the US military bases in the Asian region, bearing in mind the statements President-elect Trump has given during the campaign period. Specifically, proclaiming that the US should withdraw its military troops in Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan. Adding that even if withdrawing US military security would mean these countries becoming nuclear weapon states, President-elect Trump’s administration would not object. President-elect Trump believes our allies should be allowed …show more content…
This stance is supported by the following reasons from domestic and international standpoint.
In the case of nuclear weapons, the American people are strongly in favour of denouncing them and their continuous reduction. The US government policy towards nuclear weapons has been denuclearization since 1968. Changing our stance on this contentious subject without preamble and sufficient reasoning will irrevocably damage President-elect Trump’s image. According to a poll conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, more than 73% of Americans, regardless of age, race, gender, and education

The President-elect promised to Make America Great Again and one of his ideas to achieve this is by bringing back jobs and decrease the unemployment rate which strongly resonated with the American people. The question of where to relocate the 28,000 and 49,000 troops based in ROK and Japan respectively will arise if the President-elect removed them from their current stations. What will the government do with approximately 80,000 US military personnel who will depart. The government will have to relocate thousands of troops and provide monetary aid to those whose contract will end and become veterans. Any possible solution requires the government to spend even though we are already burdened with budgetary problems in other sectors. Additionally, as the government is currently reducing its military size some of these soldiers may be released. Unfortunately, many who served in the military are not college graduates and will be underdogs in today’s competitive market economy if suddenly dismissed from service. Consequently, possible increase of the unemployed can be expected if we pull our troops and therefore, keeping them deployed is what is good for America and the president-elect’s position. Besides, we have plans to relocate and realign more than 9000 troops from Okinawa to Guam, Hawaii, Australia and refurbish some military bases which Japan
Finally, President Eisenhower warns the American people to be diligent on the “military-industrial complex” that has developed in post-World War II years. He warns against the corruption and unwarranted influence of misplaced power that will endanger the democratic processes and human liberties. Leaders must be alert of the proper balance between
This new order allows the military the power to contain those see who they see as threats to America. As a result 110.000 japanese americans in
This would ratify both the need for a national military and help raise money to pay back the public
PEARL HABOUR AND THE COMING OF PACIFIC WAR The United States government is willing to reconsider its position on the demand which it had made earlier regarding the withdrawals of troops in china. Being aware of what happened between Japan and china the United States government will reconsider its immediate demand of withdrawing the japan troops immediately. This consideration has come after an understanding that the purpose of these troops it’s ensure that no immediate war or misunderunderstandings between these two nations will threaten peace and escalates the tension which is already there. Our objective is to ensure that our countries do not go to war and the ties between us to be strengthened.
If the militarization should continue, there is a possibility of a war forming, and so, the possibility another economic crash. Many countries are involved in the conflict, and the United States of America knows all too well, that wars cause a lot of problems. According to watson.brown.edu, “Between a quarter and a third of this increase in federal indebtedness is due to war spending: by the end of 2011, deficit spending on the wars had raised the ratio of debt to GDP by about 10 percentage points.” The amount of money spent on a war is so high that you could live luxuriously for a whole lifetime just off of the average amount of money spent on a
Let’s say we would pay every single military person as much as the average NFL player 860,000 dollars a year. That is going to come from the tax payers. Let’s see just how much more we are going to have to pay per year for the military. There are about 320 million people in the U.S. of those let’s say 55 percent of them pay taxes. 176 million people will pay for the new wage increase for the military.
He states that it would only affect only dependent children not currently receiving benefits. Spouses' stipends would not be affected. Most spouses’ of the military are either single or have a full schedule of work, family, and orders from a chain of command. It would suggest that their day is pretty full already. Besides the fact that most spouses can’t physically go to college or take online courses due to the many important things in their lives.
“The security of the Pacific Coast continues to require the exclusion of Japanese from the area now prohibited to them and will so continue as long as that military necessity exists(Dewitt,1943).” So military necessity will help us become more secure and safe. The Japanese aren 't safe because
Joe Biden is the Vice President of the United States of America. He was born on November 20, 1945 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, being the first of four children. Joe is married to Jill Biden, and has had four children. Biden has been our Vice President for 7 years, but has been a part of the senate since he was 29. He has represented the state of Delaware for 36 years.
In America people would like to assume that not only the current soldiers defending our country but also the future soldiers would have enough resources to provide for themselves and their families, but in all reality this isn’t true. According to the State of the Union in 2022 there were 1.3 million active duty soldiers in the United States Military. Within that a large percentage either came from a background of poverty or are headed in a similar direction. Lots of people don’t understand that living in poverty as a child makes people more likely to join the military as adults. While living in poverty people typically look for any way out that they can find.
Think about it, how can the public protect themselves against outside threats? How will they handle major disasters that happen on American soil? As Soldiers we are held to a high standard in the eyes of the public. The public respects and appreciates our profession because of the details embedded in our job(s) and in the manner we carry them out and how we conduct ourselves.
The first attempt and success to climb Mt. Everest occured in 1953. Since then, almost 4,000 people have been able to scale the mountain, but over 230 people have not been able to climb it successfully. There is a chance of accident or death when climbing this mountain or any dangerous activity. All people should should have the right to rescue services even if they knowingly put themselves at risk because there is always a chance of an accident happening, rangers are there to save people in danger, and there are rescue vehicles being produced to be used in case of an emergency.
I also think it is the governments duty to give our men and women of our armed forces the care they deserve and that means healthcare, housing, and pay increases, to keep our veterans off the street and not
From past experiences we know that appealing to the people doesn’t get far because the publics’ opinion on, if we go to war or no, isn’t worth anything compared to the Presidents. The president has a trend of making decisions on their own without seeking advice from any other source. The threat of a draft would possibly hinder the rush to war because of the human cost but attempting to change how the president makes decisions is a better solution because it does not have as many negative effects as that of a
John F. Kennedy once said,” Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country” (Inaugural Address, 20 January 1961) global conflicts only seem to grow, the United States Military should stay on top. I strongly believe that every able bodied citizen that calls the United States home should serve in the Military for at least two years. If you call yourself a real American then you will agree with my opinions. All citizens should rely on their own working. Sadly, this is not true in America.
