Essay On Send America Back To War

Improved Essays
I have been in the same basement for three months now. I have lost all hope along with my fingernails that have been ripped off in a recent torturing. All that is left of my nails are bloody stumps that have been covered in bandages. I do not know if I am in Beirut Lebanon now or now. I have been blinded, binded, and shipped off to so many locations so many times that my realization of where I am is gone. I have endured and given the same answer to their single question. If I answer their single question America's deepest and most controversial missions could send America back to war. Suddenly, one of the usual guards that always wears a scowl walks in to begin the daily torture. “من أنت”. I have heard this sentence so many times that I know it will only bring pain. This is the only thing he says before the barrage of punches come. I learned Arabic in military school but I did not need it to know …show more content…
I fear that one of those choices are coming near. It will be impossible for anyone to find me and even if they did I have overheard that the area is surrounded by militants. I have a terrible fever from the lack of sanitation in my cell, yet they continue to break me. I know that I will not last long and I will suddenly spill information. The guard leaves along with the medical examiner and I am finally alone. To think about it I only came here to negotiate the release of another agent and instead we swapped places. I know that i can take the torture but the one thing that really drives me insane is the smell. Since Beirut or wherever I am is probably in shambles there is no such thing as running water or a toilet. So, Lucky me, the soldiers go to the bathroom in the cells right next to me. I know it is a little gross but I have done it multiple times as well but I never slept next to it for three

    My friends are being taken, used, and then just tossed away. They drag us out of our hiding place and scar us with graphite needles. I hope that I will never be taken, unlike hundreds of my colleagues. In the back of my frightened mind I know, one day I will end up like the others; beaten and tossed to the side in a large, plastic grave. The darkness is deteriorating, never knowing when they will tear me out of my metal prison.…

    The Seven Years’ War was one that had two imperialist superpowers engaged in battle over territory in North America. While Britain and France were the two major countries at play, other countries became involved through alliances, causing the war to become a possibility for the first global war.

    The way the government aimed to deny these incidents ever occurred, Gourevitch and Morris deliver an in-depth perspective on the events taken place in a prison system in Abu Ghraib, located in Iraq. It’s astounding how the people whom lead our precious America could be such savages in the face of temptation. And so much so, how could we as a country be the country we are and continuously deny our roles in these events. The leaders of our free have once again aimed at keeping world information, as only official information.

    I regret having signed up to go to war. I am currently in a trench, about 15 miles south of the German border, holding off the rats, lice, and German soldiers. Massive bombings are taking place everywhere, bursting my eardrums, with mud and shrapnel flying every direction imaginable. Machine gun fire rings in my ears, and I fear it will never escape. The smell of mustard gas flows through the trenches, but with our gas masks we are protected.…

    The War of 1812 was considered a “second war for independence” from Britain – the first one being the Revolutionary War. Britain had, once again, strained foreign relations with the United States by ordering the impressment of American sailors and seizing cargo ships; even though George Washington had declared neutrality. However, due to a lack in communication, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson were unaware that Britain had began to respect their maritime neutrality and it subsequently resulted in the two men ordering the declaration for the War of 1812. As a result of the declaration, the country was torn in half – one half; the Westerners and Southerners, were pro-war while the other half; the New Englanders, were firmly against the war.…
