2003 invasion of Iraq

One question that have been asked is, what happened this weekend in Paris? What happened was Paris have got bombed on Friday. When this bombing happened everyone worldwide was wondering who did the bombing. Hours later ISIS claimed that they did the bombing in Paris. Who is ISIS some people are asking. Isis is a terrorist group that had been formed in 1999. The former of the group name is Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Abu was once a street thug that had major street respect. Abu went to…

America is already a great country as it is, but with more effort we can make even better. Many people take America for granted and do not appreciate all the veterans who have served for their country and many who have sacrificed their lives. We as people do not understand their experience and how traumatic it was for most of them. They do so much and we do so little. We the people can pay back our debt with just simple acts. If we raised money and just built them a decent home, we would show…

This question contains two parts to be properly addressed. The phrase “war is timeless” essentially means that human beings have been poised to slaughter one another since the dawn of time, and even potentially until the end of times. Even at the centennial anniversary of the end of the war to end all wars, humanity is still fighting. Wars occur for so many reasons, so frequently, that the probability of one happening is still extremely high regardless of the circumstances. For example, the…

War has always been a part of human life and the expanding of every country in the world. It was either war between two countries or war within the country. Many fought to earn independence, some fought to develop its power and some just fought because they were allies to the country at war. No matter what the reason was, war has left a huge effect to how things are today. WW1 and WW2 were two wars that defined the United States, but when comparing the weapons, the survivor rate, and the weather…

Dave Schultz by Jesse Mendez The historical figure I am presenting is Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz. Dave was born on June 6, 1959 in Palo Alto, California to mother Dorsey and father Philip. When Dave was five he tried wrestling for the first time and hated it, and quit three weeks into it. As he got older around the age of nine to thirteen he started to put on a lot of weight and became overweight. Since he was an overweight kid in middle school kids had no mercy on him and often bullied him…

“The hardships and sufferings to which our nation is to be subjected hereafter will certainly be great… However, it is according to the dictates of time and fate for a grand peace for all the generations to come by enduring the unendurable and suffering what is not sufferable” -Emperor Shōwa, “Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War,” August 14,1945 The date is September 2, 1945, the Second World War has finally ended and America officially established itself as a dominating world…

While sitting in a C-17 aircraft with an M4 in my hand and a full ruck of battle gear under my foot, I realize I am going into war for real. Even with the extremely loud airplane engine screaming in my ears, I can’t stop thinking how only three weeks ago my life had suddenly taken a drastic turn. It feels like a dream, yet it is so real. Thinking back, I could see a fresh new soldier just comes out of training standing in front of an in-processing desk with a lot of expectations about his new…

The meaning of freedom has changed a lot over the years. There are many who do not even care about anyone in the military or anyone that has served. Seth Thornblade was one who had served in the military. He didn’t have much time to see his little sister or family. He was always working and lived literally across the world from the United States. We Skyped only once a day and for 5 minutes. He never had any time for his family. It is not that he never liked to, he even said sorry to his family,…

With so much wrong in America today, I believe that it can only get better. Because many veterans struggle when they return from war, they will be provided with a variety of programs to help them deal with life after war. Shootings and other gun accidents will go down immensely, especially school shootings. People will not be living on the streets and go to bed hungry. Cars will be made cheaper and more efficient. I foresee changes like these in America’s future. When soldiers come back to…

the war and when the protesters were doing their acts of wanting the violence and the war to end. October 21, 1967 there was 100,000 protestors and four students were killed by the guard troops because they wanted to demonstrate against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia (Super 910). More than 58,000 people were killed or had gone missing during the war, 527 were wounded, and this cost the U.S. twenty-five billion dollars as a result. When the war was coming to an end there was about two thousand…
