	The Blueshirts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Army Comrades Association (ACA), later named National Guard and better known by its nickname The Blueshirts, was an Irish fascist political organisation set up by General Eoin O'Duffy, a former guerrilla leader in the IRA (before the Treaty), Irish Army general (during the Irish Civil War), Garda commissioner (1922 to 1933) in 1932.
		However, anti-fascist opponents such as the Irish Republican Army, Fianna Fáil and the Communist Party of Ireland cited the example of other fascist movements coming to power where any democratic process was extinguished and how the Blueshirts clearly attempted to emulate this by their 'March on Dublin'.
		In August 1933 a parade was planned by the ACA for Dublin, which was to proceed to Glasnevin Cemetery, but stopping briefly on Leinster lawn, in front of the Irish parliament building for speeches.

	Eoin O'Duffy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		O'Duffy was a leading member of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ulster in the 1910s.
		He served as a general in the Free State Army in the ensuing Irish Civil War and was one of the brains behind the Free State's strategy of seaborne landings into Republican held areas.
		In July 1933 O'Duffy became leader of the Army Comrades Association, which had been ostensibly set up to protect Cumann na nGaedhael public meetings, which had up to that point been disrupted under the slogan "No Free Speech for Traitors" by Irish Republican Army men newly confident since the elections.

	The Hukbalahap Insurrection: The Insurrection- Phase II (1950-1955)
		Army commanders were encouraged to set up Civilian Commando Units in friendly areas susceptible to Huk raids.
		As a result of the new professionalism and the success of village commando units in securing many local hamlets, fewer Army forces were required for static defense, thus allowing a larger proportion of government troops to undertake active pursuit operations.
		In February, the Army began its largest anti-Huk operation to date in an area bounded by Mounts Dorst, Negron, and Caudrado, thirty miles west of Mount Arayat.

		The history of the U.S. Army is full of examples of soldiers who, in the face of unbelievable odds, when it seemed all might be lost, managed to carry on nonetheless out of a sheer sense of DUTY.
		Today the Army defines RESPECT as (Quote) "The regard and recognition of the absolute dignity that every human being possesses; incorporates diversity and compassion." An even easier way is to think of it as The Golden Rule treating fellow soldiers exactly the way you would wish to be treated.
		Given what any soldier is likely to experience in the course of his or her time in service, a great deal rides on the individual knowing right from wrong and having the courage to do right, and speak the truth.
