Militarism Stories

What makes a good man commit an evil act? How does a faction with high-minded ideals of “ordinary acts of bravery” and “the courage that drives one person to stand up for another” devolve into chaos, violence, and murder? Do genetics control a person’s acts, or can training and personal choice overcome “natural programming”? How does the physically strongest faction become the tool of another? This essay explores this and much more. Description from Amazon.com Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy (Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant) has captured the hearts and thoughts of millions of readers. In Divergent Thinking, YA authors explore even more of Tris and Tobias’ world, including: • What Divergent’s factions have in common with one of psychology’s most prominent personality models • The biology of fear: where it comes from and how Tris and the other Dauntless are able to overcome it • Full-page maps locating all five faction headquarters and other series landmarks in today’s Chicago, based on clues from the books • Plus a whole lot more, from why we love identity shorthand like factions to Tris’ trouble with honesty to the importance of choice, family, and being brave With a dozen smart, surprising, mind-expanding essays on all three books in the trilogy, Divergent Thinking provides a companion fit for even the most Erudite Divergent fan.

Hello, welcome to my first contribution to Wattpad! Unfortunately, there isn't much to look forward to, as I just thought I ought to create something here. Please think of it as an introductory piece to my writing style :) Updates will not be consistent, therefore this story will actually be a compilation of short stories which centers around a certain fictional world (which may be expanded on in the future, although not necessarily by me). Again, this is a writing practice, and I do hope you will spare some words and help nudge (or drag) me out of the right door into the world of writing. Regardless, thank you so much for reading, and please enjoy :D

Leo had just got his big break. He starred in a big movie, but it wasn't just any movie. The government used the movie for "propaganda". Now Leo is being hunted down.

World War I took the lives of more than 9 million soldiers; 21 million more were wounded. Civilian casualties numbered close to 10 million. The two nations most affected were Germany and France, each of which sent some 80 percent of their male populations between the ages of 15 and 49 into battle.

Join Colonel Preston Steele, now retired Brigadier General, from my military action novel The Will Of America - America Spartans, as he and four other military-trained men are recruited to head a massive grant program designed specifically to positively impact 140 delinquent and misguide teenaged boys from some of Philadelphia’s toughest neighborhoods in this exciting and powerful new drama about an up and coming kick-butt precision drill team. Tasked with the near impossible; turning these wild, and potentially violent, boys into well-disciplined young men, and productive citizens, these five men are more than up for the challenge. The path isn’t an easy one as they face multiple issues, some life-threatening, as they go about being the role models and image makers these rogue boys lacked growing up. The first thing they have to do is teach these boys how to get along. Many are rival gang members sworn to live and die by the laws of their gang and whatever codes or lessons they learned on the streets. The question is will the majority of these malcontents learn the lesson they are sent there to learn and that is United We Stand, Divided We Fall? The answer is a lesson our politicians, our parents, and our communities could possibly take to heart and learn from.

Tazumi Riku gets displaced into another world, and goes on your atypical isekai adventure; successfully slaying both the Demon King and his Lords, collecting a dizzying amount of heroines, and creating his own empire/alliance from scratch. That was two hundred years ago. The First Hero may be dead, but his descendants live on, blessed with extraordinary powers and Unique Talents that would aid them in their saga. But not all is well in paradise; a demonic plot blankets the break-away states of the empire, and the polities that had once been united through common cause now find themselves hoarding conflicting interests. It is up to the Virtual Hero, Ex Albio, and his party to once again tame the rise of the second Demon King. However, on Earth, a mysterious structure appears in the middle of Ginza street... You can use this universe and add some other Vtuber companies except Nijisanji. I already have the Nijisanji part covered. [Lots of OOC] Also, before I forget, I am talking about real people here, so when you get into the rabbit hole, restrain yourself and show some respect. Though they have the mask of anime girls and boys, they're still people. People with boundaries that you should follow.)
