Armoured warfare

What do you think could account for Paul’s negative point of view? I think that one of the largest factors would be the loss of a close friend or relative. Having someone that you are close to can help you keep your sanity in warfare. But this is in fact, a double bladed sword. If something happens to that person, such as they get wounded and must leave you to get treatment, you are left alone. Usually you would blame yourself, saying that you could have saved them. This mental…

Although Ronald Reagan is the face of the “End of the Soviet Union” I honestly believe it wouldn’t have been done if it wasn’t for Reagan’s officials in the executive branch. Reagans administration officials played a huge role in the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Reagan administration fought for a wide array of attempts that increased confrontations with the U.S.S.R. and its allies. Reagan along with the help of his officials, increased in U.S. defense spending designed to update existing…

The statement that The Vietnam War was unwinnable is true to some extent. The Vietnam War was a 20 year long war which lasted from 1955 to 1975. There were multiple factors that attributed to the conflict being unwinnable, these include the nature of the Vietcong fighters, the strong protest movement and the role of the media in shaping public opinion. A factor that made the Vietnam War unwinnable was the nature of the Vietcong fighters. The American and Australian forces found it difficult to…

Family, Love, and War The photograph “Wait For Me Daddy” was taken by Claude P. Dettloff on October 1, 1940 in Westminster, Canada. The photo was taken around the time of World War 2 where many men were sent to fight in the war leaving behind their grieving families. Most war photos come off as sad or violent to most people but this particular photo gave me the feeling of happiness more than anything, showing the love between a father and his child instead. It is a black and white photograph…

This award stands as the testimony to our greatest encouragement that we are not simply the fuel for such…

Biological and Chemical weapons if in the wrong hands can be just as destructive as nuclear weapons. Biological warfare is the use of any organism to harm or kill any population or area. Chemical warfare is the use of any chemical produced by organism to harm people. These weapon could be explained as high risk, no reward. The creation and use of chemical and biological weapons should be banned due to the fact that they are hard to trace and are uncontrollable.With the advances of science these…

Cold War The United States was by far the world’s greatest power after the World War II and the country was boasting the world’s most powerful navy and air force as well as owning atomic bomb. The only power that could rival the US was the communist Soviet Union. The tension between the two nations created fear in the US and altered the American lives dramatically. This silent tension was fought through ideology and proxy wars, like the Korean War and the Vietnam War. In Europe at the time was…
