War changes men. In 2008, Creed Cascade, an author, once commented about war and its effects on men. He replied with, “...that [war] strips them of their humanity.” His words outline the forgotten repercussions of war on the men and woman that fight and are left to suffer. When they first joined the war, they are happy and ready for adventure and when they leave, they are left broken and transformed. In this example, Elijah Weesageechak slowly was stripped of his humanity the longer he served in…

A short story in which there is a conflict between two characters is Michael Morpurgo's "What Does It Feel Like?". The story tells us about a village in Bosnia, which has been invaded by Serbian soldiers during the Bosnian War. We are introduced to a girl called Sofia, who lives in this village.

Brownmillers theory of rape and sexual violence is accurate, where evidence in war as well as male habits in the military, provide an understanding of why rape occurs. Rape is looked at and defined, thus providing an accepting concept behind why rape is wrong and what exactly it is. Brownmiller goes beyond basic theorizing and analyzes rape in the context of multiple wars. By linking numerous trends and connecting it to her basic theory she is able to provide support to her argument. Her theory…

So, it seems possible that the Better Angels that Pinker speaks about, the neural circuits that enable Empathy, Self Control, Morality and Reason, may be currently in an interim condition, in the way that blue eyes are after ten thousand years. Pinker concludes that the greatest reduction in human violence coincides with the beginning of civilization. If the civilizing process that began less than ten thousand years ago has been enhancing these beneficial traits, their propagation may have a…

dirty work. They use children because children can’t be put in many of the jails after being caught with drugs or weapons. Some child soldiers enjoy the feeling of killing people for their country.

President Obama’s West Point speech and General Petraeus’s COMISAF guidance provide a framework that is based on a doctrine that has been greatly influenced by Galula’s first and third laws. Galula’s first law states that the support of the population is…
