Summary

Few issues are more hotly contested both here and abroad than the role of the United States armed forces. Do we fight for freedom? Are we the world police? What makes a problem half a world away a matter of national security? Our Military explores the shifting role of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines through more than two centuries of conflict, stopping at key moments along the way to check in on the Great Debates that have altered the course of world history. Young readers will discover that disagreements over the size, strength, purpose, and cost of our armed forces are nothing new. They have sparked controversy since the Revolutionary War. Our Military engages young readers and provides them with the context and history needed to join the debate on these issues… and ultimately issues the challenge to Find Your Voice. Aligns with Common Core Language Arts Anchor Standards for Reading Informational Text and Speaking and Listening. Text contains critical thinking components in regards to social issues and history.
