Whenever one hears of war, one would probably imagine soldiers fighting courageously on a large battlefield fighting valiantly for their causes. Often times however, the civilian aspects of war are often forgotten, and it seems that sometimes, they are the ones that suffer the most from conflict. Both The Massacre at El Mozote and Persepolis provide a look into the civilian view of war, and how society must change and adapt to the new reality. In The Massacre at El Mozote we get to see the…

I think that Bill Clintin's letter is very contradictional and infomous with himself beliefs and values and his own nation. On one hand he wants to enlisting in the military to supposedly defend the patriotism of his country.However, he does not want to be a just a simple service man, he really intention is being commissioned as an officer to gain power and control everything over the war. In other words his purpose is to become part of the ROTC. Bill Clinton contradicts himself when he starts…

Every time you hear a story about war, writers always put it in a male’s point of view making it seem like women don’t matter too. Women should be able to do anything and everything men could do, meaning equal access to jobs and careers in military as well as outside of it. People state that women aren’t “physically, mentally, and emotionally qualified” to actually be involved in combat.

in the military for quite some time. Originally only men were allowed to join the military. Throughout the years of women participation they have demonstrated that they are as competent or even better than men. Most society portrayed women as being weak and emotional but aren’t some men also like that. In 2003 it was a significant year for women because it allowed them to move into combat that formerly only men could. Jena McGregor a writer for the Washington Post wrote an article “Military…

perpetuated one of the most interesting ethical dilemmas that has been thought about and pondered since WW2. Should guards of camps like these be charged and responsible for the actions that were committed, or were they just following orders like any other military operation? Not only did the United States armies get revenge but the prisoners of the camps got their revenge as well. Accounts of the liberation go onto explaining that the liberators gave the newly freed prisoners guns and shovels…

Gender equality within the American military services has become a highly visible and debated issue. Currently woman are only authorized to serve in non-combat positions in all branches of service. The integration of female soldiers into combat positions within the United States Army could significantly improve the Army’s effectiveness and the nation’s security.
