Sniper's Discretion - Unveiling America's Sharpshooter History

B. James Johncox

Beschreibung

From the American Revolution's "expert riflemen" to modern warfare's elite marksmen, "Sniper's Discretion" unveils the complex and often misunderstood history of America's sharpshooters. With meticulous research and firsthand battlefield perspective, author B. James Johncox examines how snipers have been both essential combat multipliers and morally questioned warriors throughout American military history.
 
This comprehensive chronicle follows the evolution of precision combat through every major American conflict, revealing how technological advancements, military doctrine, and cultural attitudes have shaped the sniper's role. Johncox expertly balances technical analysis with powerful human stories—from Revolutionary War sharpshooters to Civil War marksmen, from WWI trench warriors to modern counter-terrorism specialists.
 
Beyond tactical achievements, the book explores the psychological dimension of precision killing and the ethical paradox snipers face: how the most discriminate application of lethal force became the most condemned. Johncox challenges readers to reconsider the dismissive "Murder, Inc." label while confronting the moral complexity of warfare.
 
With detailed appendices covering modern precision rifle anatomy and tactical decision frameworks, this definitive work illuminates a martial discipline that has been cyclically embraced during wartime and abandoned during peace—often at tremendous cost when the next conflict erupts.
 
If you enjoyed "American Sniper," "One Shot, One Kill," and "Out of Nowhere: A History of the Military Sniper," you'll love "Sniper's Discretion: Unveiling America's Sharpshooter History."

Michael Shiva

Are you struggling to understand yourself? Are you constantly fighting with your inner dialogue, trying to figure out what's true and real for you? Whatever it is that helps you come into your own, this book will guide you through the process.
Choosing your Self is a journey through the process of self-discovery, self-definition, and self-acceptance. It guides you through the stages necessary for getting to know yourself, understanding what you need for your own personal growth, finding out how to communicate with others in a way that honors who you are as well as what other people are saying and how to express your Truth in a way that is both truthful and respectful of other people. Choosing your Self helps you connect with whatever it is that has always been your guiding light but has been dimmed by fears of rejection or fears of abandonment.
I believe there is some way to define yourself that is right for you. And I believe there is a way to communicate with others that is right for you, too. In Choosing your Self, these discoveries are taken one step at a time, to make the process as smooth and clear as possible.
There are no magic formulas, no single-step solutions and no "quick fix". But if you're willing to work at it, if you're willing to go through the process of self-exploration, self-discovery, and acceptance (the process described in this book), I promise that you'll have a smoother journey on your road toward wholeness than many other people do.

Porn Addiction - Breaking Free...

Coral Nunez

Porn addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue that extends beyond mere exposure to explicit content. It involves a compulsive behavior pattern where the pursuit of pornographic material starts to dominate an individual’s daily life, affecting mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Understanding this phenomenon requires a holistic look at how modern technology, societal influences, and neurobiological factors converge to create an environment in which such compulsions can take root.
At its core, porn addiction can be viewed as a maladaptive coping mechanism. Many individuals turn to porn as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or feelings of inadequacy, seeking solace in a virtual world that offers a temporary reprieve from their problems. However, what begins as a form of self-medication can quickly evolve into an uncontrollable habit. The accessibility and anonymity provided by the internet have only amplified the prevalence of this behavior, allowing individuals to indulge in it without immediate consequences. Over time, the brain’s reward system becomes hijacked by repeated exposure to high-stimulation content, leading to a cycle where more extreme material is needed to achieve the same level of satisfaction.
This chapter also explores the societal and cultural factors that contribute to the normalization of porn consumption. In many modern societies, discussions around sexuality and explicit content have become increasingly liberal, inadvertently minimizing the perceived risks associated with overconsumption. While open dialogues about sexuality can be empowering, they sometimes fail to address the potential for dependency and the underlying emotional issues that may drive an individual towards excessive use. Recognizing these subtleties is essential for those who seek to understand and ultimately overcome the grip of porn addiction.
