The Navy and CSR?

This semester in Corporate Social Responsibility I have started to ponder about my future career in the military. I hear my peers talk about what the corporations that they will work for do for the community and even the world and wonder if the Navy does anything to positively impact social institutions and the planet.

Some consider the United States military to be the biggest corporation in the world. I see validity in this statement when evaluating the budget and and influence within the global community.

Upon further research, I came across articles like, "USS Tarawa Hosts Bone Marrow Drive," which was one of the largest and most successful bone marrow drive in the country (local). I also found " U.S. Navy Transports Bahraini Relief Aid to Earthquake Victims in Pakistan," which displays the Navy's scope of influence and ready deployment of aid when there are countries in need(international).
