By the end of June 5th, the battalion was lightened and sent to the Vancouver Camp at Chateau de la Haie. The conditions there were considerable nicer than that of the trenches. While at the camp, his brigade had a special visitor’ Corps. Commander Sir. Julian Byng. All the officers paraded and thanked for their loyal service as he became recently promoted. But only being a private, Lacon Piercy was not among their numbers. Wretchedly, their time at the Chateau came to an end, as the 12th of…
The Melians forecast an outcome that the Athenian aggressions will just “…[strengthen] the enemies you have already, and [force] others to become your enemies…”. Additionally, the Melians claim their stance as preventing showing themselves to be “…great cowards and weaklings if we failed to face everything that comes rather than submit to slavery.” The Melian position rests…
The Roman Military The Roman Empire was arguably one of the most technologically advanced powers of all time. The feats they accomplished with their limited technology is mind blowing, even today we are still trying to figure out how they accomplished everything. The Roman Military is an example of how advanced the Roman Empire was during this era. From the incredible machinery to their quick witted tactics during a time of war, the Romans were the rulers of the world. Furthermore, they…
present day, we are fighting in a war on terrorism. The U.S. is engaged with ISIS and there are often times where the ISIS combatants are dressed up as civilians. So, in this case we have an enemy combatant that is disguised in civilian clothing.

This poster was more than likely created just after Pearl Harbor, when the citizens of the United States ended their overall belief in political…
when they are desperate to protect and defend their country. Concentration camps, slavery, nuclear bombs, and torn away from your home all relate to the conflicts of war. Imprisonment and forced labor was a major and common way to dehumanize the enemy in order to feel superior. In “Unbroken”, the Bird mandates the POWs to serve for Japan, and especially targets Louie with impunity in order to make him feel invisible. The Bird forcefully attempts to shift Louie’s paradigm of himself from…
In this section of Thomas Paine he talks about European powers and how they control America. On the first page Paine states that America would flourish even if they weren’t under European power. He compares America to a baby saying ”We may as well assert that because a child has thrived upon milk, that is never to have meat, or that the first twenty years of our life is to become a precedent for the next twenty.” What I get from this is that if we don’t try to thrive on our own that we will…
