Wynd Castle “American History: Our Hope for the Future” This is dedicated to all those men and women whose uniforms have been stained in the service of this great nation. I reflect the sentiment of Iraq veteran Gordon Ewell: “ I am an American and I am free today because someone fought, bled, or died in my place. I vow that as long as there is breath in my body, their sacrifice will not be in vain. ” Indeed, it is in light of their sacrifice that our sense of history springs, and in view of…

I was in the forest, training while plotting my next attack. My plan was to assassinate the king of Bridgeport. A few months ago he slaughtered all of the young children I was going to train, he even burnt down their dormitories. Taking something from the world’s greatest assassin would come at a cost, a life for a life to put it simply. My question was, how do I do it? His kingdom was surrounded by an impenetrable wall, with guards everywhere covered in head to toe with diamond armour. I would…

prefer to share their stories of their service while some do. Often there is something about war stories that individuals that have not served in the military cannot believe. In the story “How to Tell a True War Story” we discover that Tim O’Brien spent time in Vietnam. He tells a story about two young guys that became close friends within the military and how terrible losing a friend can be. In the short story, O’Brien brings a sense of style to his vision associated with the violent and…

unit and there are many units at the base. The unit I will be talking about is called COMM. COMM stands for one word and that is communications. I have choose this topic for my research paper because my family has been through this branch of the military for now two generations now and I have always wanted to go through and be in the Air Force and would make my grandfather very proud if I completed everything and became a solider in the Air Force. I also want to do something to serve my country…

Slavery is defined by a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. When these children become a part of this military, they become illegal property to the people that they are obeying, and with some doing so willingly slavery in my opinion would not be the best way to describe such a situation. This can be better described as an extreme type of child labor. Child…

roles. Author Tarak Barkawi confronts this issue as he argues we have missed an area in our United States military. His article published in 2012 titled, “Equality in Army and Society”, harshly challenges the rules and regulations in the U.S army against women’s rights. Barkawi’s main point is, women do not have the same career opportunities due to traditional roles, masculinity in the military, and civilian ideas of gender roles. Barkawi states, “the army is one of the last redoubts of…

Through Margaret Atwood’s poem The Loneliness of the Military Historian we learn that speaker includes herself within her opinion of how the world view the people of the military. She continues throughout to express her understanding of how the soldiers are viewed. “ Confess: it’s my profession/ that alarms you” (Atwood, 1-2), here the speaker understands that her profession is the reason she is not called upon, “this is why few people ask me to dinner/ though Lord knows I don’t go out of my way…

Both the books Blood Trail by C.J. Box and Custer’s Fall by David Humphreys Miller are books that show that a lot of overconfidence can lead to your death of you or your reputation in general. Both Custer from Custer’s Fall and the killer from Blood Trail are fantastic representations of how overconfidence in yourself and how you approach what you do can sometimes lead to your death. Overconfidence can almost certainly lead to your demise, whether its your death or just the demise of your…

My Responsibility To America “Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more, you should never wish to do less.” What words could describe more clearly the entire character of the awe-inspiring American hero: Robert E. Lee. Throughout his life, he strove to always answer the call of duty. As a general, he felt an immense responsibility to the men under his care during the Civil War. He treated them with honor and dignity,…
