Just War

Camp Fire Games have launched their Kickstarter campaign for War of Rights - a game about the American Civil War. War of Rights intends to be the most historically accurate game about the American Civil War to date, but at the same time wants to be fun to play. With that being said you will find yourself toting a musket most of the time, and it wont be reloading fast. Nope, the game intends to stick to its historical accuracy and simulate authentic reloading - players will have the choice of…

The lack of morality in war results in the perversion of what is normal and long lasting traumatic psychological damage to soldiers. During war, the line is blurred between between what is moral and what is not. The mistreatment of the dead is commonplace. In The Iliad, after Achilles kills Hector, he proceeds to abuse his corpse by dragging the body on a chariot behind him. In The Things They Carried we see the soldiers kicking corpses and cutting off thumbs. Death has become so normalized to…

An assassin or a hero It is always about the perspective, the way people look at the matter defines how people judge the character involved under every circumstance. One character in question will be judged differently from the opposite perspective of people, one side says an assassin and the other says a hero. Some stories tell the sacrifices made by determining individuals in history to pursue a cause, although they must surrender their life to the hands of death. Nevertheless, the…

There has been ongoing violence in Syria since 2011. This all started when peaceful protesters assembled in the Southern Syrian town of Daraa.

The mace has been dated back hundreds, if not thousands of years (Dark Knight Armory). The earliest clubs and bludgeons, with rocks mounted on top, are considered to be types of maces (Dark Knight Armory). The mace became popular in the twelfth century and was used in jousting both through the medieval ages and the renaissance (Medieval Middle Ages). It was both used as a close contact weapon, and also on horseback (Medieval Life). The mace was the first weapon designed to kill humans, instead…

“I’m ready for anything, sir,” Trent replied. With that, the troops were dispatched; one faction to the warehouse, the other to the mansion. Trent went with the warehouse unit first in order to help them find it. Since learning of the easier way to approach the warehouse, and no longer afraid of being seen, the soldiers were able to make it to their destination in no time, but Trent still thought they couldn’t possibly be there a moment too soon. Bursting through the back door that Trent…

is not right in any way? Violence I know you are always super close to us and I don't like that Violence. I have heard that you are just there born that way not coming and going you just don't speak and we think you left and you really did not leave us.

So it is really easy I guess for you to get anyone on the earth to…

Fighting Fire with Fire Violence tends to be thought of as a way to worsen the problem instead of solving it. However, violence can also be a means to an end. Violence can be considered positive, as well as negative. In Oedipus the King by Sophocles, violence occurs throughout the play, and always leaves an important impact. Oedipus finds out the prophecy that Teiresias predicted is true. Jocasta kills herself and Oedipus gouges his eyes out. Through Oedipus’ and Jocasta’s self-inflicted…

2. What was life like for Iowa soldiers--black and white-- in the Civil War? Iowa soldiers in the Civil War did not spend much time in actual combat. The article “Life of a Civil War Soldier” states that, on average, one day out of 30 was spent in combat. The rest of a soldier’s time, as stated in the Soldier Life video, was spent drilling with either a small group of men or the entire battalion, completing manual labor they were previously assigned to, or diverting their attention to some sort…
