World War I, and World War II, the United States has spent hundreds of years at war. It was not until The Vietnam War began in 1955 however, that people such as singer and songwriter Edwin Starr began to ask the question “War, huh, yeah/What is it good for”. The answer that often comes and obviously came to Edwin is “Absolutely Nothing”. This, however, is wrong. War can be good in cases such as claiming…

on political and cultural events, during the 1960’s. The song “War” by Edwin Starr shows teenagers expressing how they feel about the war that was happening. Evidence of this from the song would be when Edwin Starr sings, “War, huh, yeah. What is it good for. Absolutely nothing.” also when he says,”Ohhh, war, I despise. Because it means destruction. Of innocent lives.” This shows how teens felt about the war because Edwin is saying that nothing good comes from war. Also, he expresses that…

to risk losing their lives. In response, many song writers wrote songs about the worthlessness and repercussions of warfare; for example, Edwin Starr and his song “War”. In his song, Starr’s lyrics often coincide with themes from Tim O’Brien’s book, The Things They Carried. Throughout the book the motif of mortality and death are constantly suggested.

I am ever so grateful to be promotion to an important investigative position for the FBI, however I must admit I am quite horrified at my first case. President Nixon killed by a reel of recording tape… talk about irony. This is not a time to joke around which is why I’ve been busy investigating several suspects to the murder of Richard Nixon and I am happy to say I have found quite some convincing ones. As you know, there were quite a few clues found in a White House trashcan that was very…

The status of the United States military was old, obsolete, and was geared for a strategic arsenal for traditional assaults as learned in the tactics deployed in World War Two (WWII).

songs wrote in protest of the Vietnam War. First sang by the Temptations this song became the first of many Motown songs to declare political protests on the world climate, but for my generation many recognize the song as being soulfully shouted by Edwin Starr.
