the CCC, there would have been no means of transportation to get to the mainland of Florida to the islands of Key West. The Civilian Conservation Corps dissolved in 1942. They had planted over 3 billion trees and helped form many state parks and wildlife reserves. And while there was no state where the CCC did not leave its mark, Congress decided to disband the Civilian Conservation Corps. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the American naval base Pearl Harbor, located near Honolulu…

United States killed civilians, and helped to usher in a new era of fear in war. I believe firmly that the latter, those who believe that the use of atomic weapons on civilians was an act that was unnecessary and unjustified,…

(AGG) “Asymmetrical warfare is a euphemism for terrorism, just like collateral damage is a euphemism for killing innocent civilians.” a quote from Alan Dershowitz which connects directly to the novel. (BS-1) Similarly, an act of pragmatic collateral damage caused Najmah to lose and subsequently search out her family. (BS-2) This same empirical bombing prompts Najmah’s distrust of people. (BS-3) Finally, a practical bombing kills Faiz, creating lack of communication which causes Nusrat to…

vehicles, also known as drones, to make assaults on enemies, there are plenty of ethical and moral dilemmas that come along with them. Although drones save soldiers lives, they also put more civilian lives in danger, and in turn, cause more civilian casualties than if foot soldiers were used. Along with civilian casualties being a major factor, and a main negative factor on drones used in warfare, drones also end up creating more terrorists than they do eliminate them. Although saving soldiers…

Americans back at home. Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried accounts a series of fictional and real events of American soldiers serving the Vietnam War, thereby reflecting the racial othering of the Vietnamese enemy and the foreign othering of the civilians physically disconnected from the warfront. The U.S. troops portrayed in the novel have a difficult time sympathizing with the “others” and are only able to sympathize…

Germany’s brutal treatment of civilians and POW can be split into two rationales, political and racial respectively. The Nazi-German regime was notorious for unwarranted attacks on civilians and throughout WWII an estimated 25 million civilians from allied countries were killed. Majority of civilian deaths at the hands of the Germans were collateral damage, for example the German bombing raid on the Yugoslavian capital city of Belgrade which resulted in 300,000 civilian casualties. However,…

dying that do not deserve it and the United States is spending lots of money to kill innocent civilians and low-end targets. It is not 100% that you are killing the target you want to kill with the drones. That's why drone warfare should not be allowed because you do not know who you are killing Drones kill a lot of innocent civilians without the US even knowing. There is a same chance killing a civilian as there is as killing…

Senior military leaders should not publically criticize under any circumstances. There are opportunities for military leaders to disagree with civilian leaders and resign if they feel compelled to do so. Military leaders have an obligation to provide sound military advice to civilian leaders. Military leaders should disagree if they believe a policy is flawed but must carry out that policy without engaging the public if it is not changed (Owens, 79). Officers that opt to engage the public…

contradict the original intent. Police are to maintain order in the public and enforce the law. But many are now afraid of the police, due to the headlines on the news about the police beating unarmed civilians, and abusing their power. Police abuse, brutality, can be caused by uncertainty that the civilians are up to no good, racism, and not the right police training can result to death. Police officers’ responsibilities are to enforce the law and maintain order. The police have been doing a…
