Military changed over time from the start in 1775 the
military has advanced so much from weapons and uniforms
There are more opportunities now for military service
members, they get grants for school, health and family care.

without experience or education, so they decided to pay for
college.

rights, protecting the country from any kind of attacks, and
keeping faith in God and their country.

How I would improve the Military

Im sure there are many ways the military can change, no

institution is perfect.
From what I know, read, and heard, I would make
deployments shorter if soldiers wanted to be home.
Allow them to go to school for anything they wanted, not
become stuck in one job due to low test scores.
Getting a guarantee job after service of 5 years or more.
As far as accommodating society they are doing an fantastic
job.
