Synonyms of "Military" and their differences

Q: Jaka jest różnica między military i army i troops ?
A: "Military" is the most general, and refers to any of a nation's armed forces, be it army, navy, air force, etc. In most nations it does not include police, which are considered a civilian force, completely separate from the military.
An army is a nations ground forces, military who use their feet and land vehicles to move about. If a nation still has a cavalry, it is traditionally considered part of the army as well. In the USA, the Marines are separate from the Army, because their primary nature is "amphibious", moving about on land, rivers, and small bodies of water.
"Troops" are an armed group, usually made up of army men, but could be other forces as well.
The USA also has the Coast Guard, normally not part of the military. It is a water-based group whose functions are water rescue, light house management, and policing (intercepting boat traffic for drugs and other smuggled goods). In time of war, however, the President can "militarize" the Coast Guard, moving them to the Department of Defense from their normal Department of Transportation position.
Note that even though the USA has the Air Force, the other parts of the military (and Coast Guard) also have planes, jets, and helicopters. These are to provide tactical support to the primary role of each part of the military. The Air Force focuses on strategic air power, such as bombers, missiles, attack drones, etc. There is overlap, such as the Naval Air Force has bombers which work from aircraft carriers and ballistic missiles which work from submarines.

Q: Czy to brzmi naturalnie? MILITARY FORCE



I am of the opinion that the use of military force is sometimes justifiable. Just as the existence of the police is justified as long as there is a crime, I think that there are many contexts that justify military power as long as international conflicts do not cease.



First of all, in some situations, military force is necessary for self-defense. In my opinion, it is almost a truism. Almost no one would denounce the European nations that fought against the Nazi invasion for violating the idea of pacifism. It is evident that everyone has the right to fight the enemies that threaten his peace and security.



Secondly, there are times when military force is needed to protect people in danger. Although it was triggered by Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States’ participation in the battle with the Axis powers can be cited as an example.

Without the participation of the United States, the Allied victory over the Nazis must have been difficult.



Lastly, the use of military force can prevent the loss of human lives. For example, the civil war in Sierra Leone in 1991 could have been minimized if the major powers had taken massive action. Other similar examples in history could be found, such as the Rwandan genocide. (213)



For the reasons mentioned above, it is acceptable for a nation to use military force in some cases.
