The photo, entitled “Guerillero Heroic” was first published in 1967 and exploded as a symbol of revolution (Ziff). This explosive fame was what followed the rumored circumstance of his death. Guevara was known to reportedly be the most glamorized and successful…

local civilian authorities were reluctant to send anyone since this war was not exactly popular, and the potential for violence was great. The local police also did not feel that their people would do well confronting a trained killer from a Green Beret Unit. CID was fine observing and identify Greeley as AWOL(Away without official leave), but they also felt hard…

Chapter Reflection – Chapter One – “Report from Harlem” In reading Chapter One “Report from Harlem” in Ms. Angela Davis’ book “The Meaning of Freedom and Other Difficult Dialogues” the reflections came quickly from memories regarding my sister Nina interest in The Black Panther party. My mother was quite upset when Nina wanted to style her hair in a large Afro hairstyle, and wear a black leather jacket, dashiki with bell bottomed blue jeans.

The base had been used by the Special Forces and when Rat Kiley came there was still a squad of six Green Berets that used the compound. The Greenies avoided contact with the other men. One night Eddie Diamond joked that they should pool their money and get some village women to come to the compound. Six week later one medic Mark Fossie, let his…

approve of. He tries to regain control and forces her to dress and act a certain way, and she becomes more submissive to keep his love. As a result, she is miserable and this drives her to be even less feminine and she soon leaves him to join the Green Berets, where she wears a necklace of human tongues and goes missing for weeks on end, all a result of his obsessive love and attempts at policing her. This shows how harmful the war was to the soldier’s psyche, where all feeling seemed to become…

The Armed Forces Military Police ‘MPs.’ The U.S Coast Guard in itself is a law enforcement agency. The Army, Marine, and Navy all have their own type of a police system. The Army has the most iconic police force called Military Police or like I said MPs. The Marines have what they call ‘Provost Marshal’s Office or Law Enforcement Battalions or simply “Field Mps.” The U.S Navy also has their Masters-at-Arms or MAs. Even the Air Force as them they are called “Air Force Security Forces” they…

It isn't so much that what they're stating isn't valid. It's simply that it's unhelpful. It's an endeavor to delete a real emergency under the appearance of being reasonable. What's more, by keeping on utilizing "All Lives Matter" to overwhelm the cry of "Black Lives…

Lorrie Smith, in her writing if “The Things Men Do”, makes the claim that Tim O’Brien was exclusionary to women with his writing of The Things They Carried. She oftentimes makes statements that suggest that O’Brien is in pursuit of strengthening the bonds between male characters in the novel, therefore alienating the female reader.

demonstrating the seriousness and discipline of the Party's platform. The Black Panthers' first action was to follow Oakland Police cars, either on foot or in cars, while dressed in black pants, black leather jackets, starched blue shirts and black berets, carrying loaded shot guns.
