Military

A military is an organization authorized by its greater society to use lethal force, usually including use of weapons, in defending its country by combating actual or perceived threats. The military may have additional functions of use to its greater society, such as advancing a political agenda e.g. communism during cold war era, supporting or promoting economic expansion through imperialism, and as a form of internal social control. As an adjective the term "military" is also used to refer to any property or aspect of a military. Militaries often function as societies within societies, by having their own military communities.

The profession of soldiering as part of a military is older than recorded history itself. Some of the most enduring images of the classical antiquity portray the power and feats of its military leaders. The Battle of Kadesh in 1274 BC was one of the defining points of Pharaoh Ramesses II's reign and is celebrated in bas-relief on his monuments. A thousand years later the first emperor of unified China, Qin Shi Huang, was so determined to impress the gods with his military might that he was buried with an army of terracotta soldiers. The Romans were dedicated to military matters, leaving to posterity many treatises and writings as well as a large number of lavishly carved triumphal arches and victory columns.

Adjective

military (comparative more military, superlative most military)

  1. Characteristic of members of the armed forces.
    • 1891, Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Boscombe Valley Mystery”, in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes:
      "My dear fellow, I know you well. I know the military neatness which characterises you. You shave every morning, and in this season you shave by the sunlight; but since your shaving is less and less complete as we get farther back on the left side, until it becomes positively slovenly as we get round the angle of the jaw, it is surely very clear that that side is less illuminated than the other. I could not imagine a man of your habits looking at himself in an equal light and being satisfied with such a result."
  2. (North America) Relating to armed forces such as the army, marines, navy and air force (often as distinguished from civilians or police forces).
  3. Relating to war.
    • 1989, Gregory Flynn, Soviet Military Doctrine and Western Policy‎, page 158:
      The only goal pursued by Western defense strategy — to cause the Warsaw Pact to break off an attack — is more military than political in nature.
  4. Relating to armies or ground forces.
Noun

military (plural military or militaries)

  1. Armed forces.
    He spent six years in the military.
  2. (US, with the) U.S. armed forces in general, including the Marine Corps.
    It's not the job of the military to make policy.

Asked by josh - Thu Nov 11 15:49:14 2010 - Military - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Uh...always wore my Gerber on my belt...it had a 3 inch blade in it. Nobody ever gave me crap about it. As long as it's not like a machete or Bowie knife... Glasses...I haven't heard anything about polarized glasses being banned...only sunglasses if you were in formation...and people with transition eye glasses are authorized to keep wearing them in formation. I dunno...always used the BDU cap/ACU capto keep the sun out of my eyes...until they introduced the black beret...now I just walk into things when it's really bright outside.

Q. Other then going to fight for the military. What other jobs can I do when I join the military?
Asked by - Sat May 8 03:42:58 2010 - Military - 2 Answers - Comments

A. All jobs deploy. Most are not actively involved in combat. If you want to attend school full time, then you need to enlist in the reserves or national guard Although they can be deployed also.
