The women’s movement in Australia did have been gradually improved from W1 to current in recent society. Under the old regime women’s roles were questioned and most of people would have never heard that gender equality and women’s empowerment. Women are less capable than men and this is what they thought. Additionally, it is a common statement of the masses of their conformity in that time. However, Australian women showed their possibility and had did a great effort on society during WW2 that…

Alexander’s army relied heavily on lightly- armored phalanx formations with long pikes, called sarsissas, that were up to 20 feet long, special “wedge” formations to increase the volume of troops in order to be more effective in combat, and a strong cavalry that consisted of two different units, including a unit that fought with Alexander himself. After the death of his father, Alexander made the Macedonian army much larger and made it into a main focus of Macedonian…

hardships that Australian army nurses had to go through during WW1. Nurses are often marginalised but this is evidence that WW1 wasn’t simple for them. This artefact shows that women weren’t treated the same as men during ww1, they must have had worse experiences than men. Women weren’t ever leaders or highly ranked in ww1 as most men were chauvinistic. Men believed that women were inferior to them and some believed that women weren’t skilled enough to even be at the war working as army nurses.…

critiques a video of a female soldier completing a 12-mile hike. In the video, the female solider can be seen falling to the ground and struggling to get to her feet several times. There is a three-hour time limit for completing this task, per the Army prerequisite tactical foot march, and she finishes with about fifteen minutes to spare. The instructions for the hike also dictate that the candidates must carry their rifles in a ready position, meaning that the weapon must be ready for use…

In the chapter “Night Life,” the Alpha Company receives intelligence about an NVA buildup in the area they were in so as a precaution, the platoon started moving at night. It was a hard adjustment for everyone but Rat Kiley however, couldn’t handle it at all. He started talking nonstop about bugs and scratching himself causing nasty, ugly sores on his body. He eventually broke down to Mitchell Sanders about how scared he was and the next morning he shot himself in the leg. Tim O’Brien uses…

As a retired military member, I had to respond to your post. You are so right about how many military members felt abandoned by sequestration, among other programs. Your analysis is sound and, having lived through it and been one of the victims it, I can speak to its soundness from experience and from the information we’ve learned in this class. The military’s lack of trust in its lower rank doers of the work is notorious. I was complaining about this to my dad once and he reported it had been…

Tim O’Brien, an American novelist, once said “Fiction is the lie that helps us understand the truth.” The soldiers lived through things that we could not fathom. In relation to Vietnam, the movie Forrest Gump snuck its way into my mind. Tim’s style of writing is why I am a fan of his stories, like Where Have You Gone Charming Billy? in particular. As a result, it made this book a real page turner. Soldiers in the Vietnam war carried an astonishing amount of items with them. I remain in awe of…

the warmest clothes he had, which was an old army overcoat and headgear. His selection presented a non-programmed decision, which is a decision made in response to a situation that is unique, is poorly defined, and largely unstructured, and has important consequences. Stanley’s decision displayed non programmed characteristics, because it was made in response to the cold weather that made him select the warmest clothes he owned, which was an old army overcoat, and headgear. His decision was…

The things they carried was a group of war stories from tim o'brien's experiences, in the beginning of the story they say specific things of what they all carried but as the story goes on you have to acknowledge what they are carrying not only the physical items but things that they carried mentally. In war many soldiers have things that will get past their mind defence and mess with them turning them crazy or ill. Rat kiley was a medic and was able to help the soldiers when they were injured,…
