Then, in the conclusion para, you reinforce the idea. In conclusion, that is why titles are powerful.

Right here, get rid of "all"
All of the rules, regulations, and the presence of uniformed
All of t The rules and regulations and the presence of uniformed...--- this is probably best. You can't say All of the ----> presence... and you can't say the rules of the ----->uniformed men
