Being indefinite of what is the truth is a lot more dangerous than knowing the truth and lying about it. An indefinite truth can anything you can possibly think of whether it is the truth, a lie, or something in between. In war soldiers often shield themselves from the truth and create their own truth without even realizing it. As Tim O’ Brien puts it, “In war you lose your sense of the definite, hence your sense of truth itself, and therefore its safe to say that in a true war story nothing is…

When US troops moved out of Iraq, there was a power vacuum. There was a dissolved Iraqi army. ISIS is the descendent of Al Qaeda. It’s a “jihadist” extremist militant group trying to create an Islamic state. It is comprised of Sunni Arabs from Iraq and Syria. ISIS, which stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, has a goal to create an Islamic empire and fight the United States. When the group changed its focus to Syria it rebranded itself ISIS. Graeme Wood talks about the group’s goal: to…

and abusive as time went on. While the Iraqi population were beginning to fear Saddam, he was popular in the Arab world, as they saw him as the only regional leader willing to stand up to what they saw as American aggression . On the 17th of March 2003, U.S. Pres. George Bush ordered Saddam to step down from office and leave Iraq within 48 hours or face war. Saddam refused to leave, and March 20th, U.S. and allied forces launched an attack on Iraq. The US immediately targeted Saddam, beginning…

In the life of a nation, we're called upon to define who we are and what we believe. Diplomacy must endure, and attempts at starting an unjustified war must be condemned. However, me must refrain from waging wars that are unnecessary for a nation's growth. The acquisition of territory by force is unacceptable. No one, either friend or foe, should doubt our desire for peace. In this era, where the vision of a country can be tainted and subdued by weapons of mass destruction, we mustn’t fall…

When examining Clausewitz idea of “war is the mere continuation of politics by other means” I found that within the first sentence of the paragraph holds an important context. Clausewitz states “a carrying out of the same by other means.” Both this idea and statement hold true in regards to U.S. military action post 9/11. The “continuation of politics” lies within policy in regards to diplomacy, economic, or other means. During war time these politics continue but employed in a different manner…

Up to this point in time,we will always recall on of the most treacherous of events that,we've all come to know as 9/11.During this attack against our people ,two planes were hijacked and crashed intentionally,into the world trade center towers and,a third plane was hijacked but,thanks to the valiant passengers on board,did not reach it's destination instead,led to many tragic but gallant deaths.The U.S. responds by seeking means for the invasion of Iraq which,could cost the worldwide peace many…

Vietnam. They impression is that we are out there, imbedding the American nose into something that shouldn't be messed with. But they are not completely true. The War in Iraq has generated a large quantity of criticism since its start in March of 2003. Now, four year later, the criticism has only strengthened. The fact of the matter…

Union to reconcile many of their differences after forty-five years of the cold-war….but it is unable to bridge the differences between President George H.W. Bush and Saddam Hussein over Kuwait. President George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was based on incorrect information−about weapons of mass destruction and a supposed nexus between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda’s terrorism−and then occupied the country negligently. Desert Storm provides an example of an administration that…

The war at home became controversial because of the huge dive of supporters of the war and non-supporters of the war. The people opposed to the war tended to be middle class working people along with the working class women, and African Americans with grade school education and low paying jobs. The people opposed to war were making mostly moral arguments. They stated that the missions being conducted were forcing people to relocate just like the U.S. did to Native Americans in the mid to late…

Sending Kyle and his brothers in arms to the gallows means a lot to you, doesn't it? Aside the facts enlisted personnel cannot simply resign and he was a career soldier, it’s back to what said…it’s not about the lies Kyle told but the lies he believed. Nevertheless I didn’t expect to convince you, but the continuance of uninterrupted thought was expected, unfortunately [quote]Do you even know anything about the Soviet Union and it's policies? If you did you would understand how flawed your…
