Since war is another political instrument, political outcomes should be the motive for the powerful military states to wage, escalate and terminate wars. But sometimes, and despite its military power, these states struggle to reach its political outcomes due to many factors that stand in the way of achieving political outcomes smoothly. For instance, military power restrictions and…

Women and men’s roles in society varied greatly during the Vietnam War. While women avoided the draft, protected from its brutality and tragedies, men were forced from their homes to serve in the ambiguous battles. In O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, women are portrayed as apathetic towards these soldiers. They are the homebound sex, not aware of the world outside their own. On the other hand, men are those who carry the weight of the world, submerged in the pain and politics of war. There…

The book “The Things They carried” by Tim O’Brien was about the Vietnam war. One of the things that is in the book is that there is more than what is just on the surface of the war. It puts a personal spin on the dry material that is usually read about wars. Tim O’Brien was in the Vietnam war when he was a young man, and he uses these experiences to write both fictional stories and nonfictional stories about this war.

Historical Perspective: I’m going to be discussing the historical thinking concept of historical perspectives. The 1960s was a frustrating yet exciting time to be alive. While the Baby Boomers were a large percent of the hippie generation, many of 60s youth were also alive during WWII.

The main ideals of…

Due to an extreme amount of unfortunate circumstances, The Vietnam War was deemed as the “unwinnable war”. Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War stemmed in August 1962, in support of South Vietnam and putting an end to the spread of communism. This started due to the separation between the French Indo-china and the following requests of realignment between the countries, yet the Vietnamese weren’t interested in the realignment. Australia’s engagement in the war mainly consisted of Army…

Twenty years and 58,286 deaths later, the Vietnam War went down as one of the most significant in United States history. (Source A) The war is more historically remembered as the Indochina War to Americans due to its location and its unforeseeable loss to North Vietnam. Although the United States was just an ally of South Vietnam with hopes to stop the spread of communism, they ended up being the largest foreign military presence which lead to Vietnam schooling labeling it as the American War.…

Introduction Topic The war affected the American culture in many ways. It changed the attitudes of the Americans towards their government, military, constitution, media, and public institution. The impact of the war can be still felt in the United States today. During wartime or even when people are making peace, those in the waterfront as well as those they leave behind, need morale boosting. This is the reason behind the composition of folk songs during the Vietnam War (Alexander, 1980). War…

The topic of the impending doom of America is a popular one among writers today. Numerous articles claim that America’s rivals increase in power and influence while America itself is on the decline. As evidence of this gradual, but inevitable decline in American power, one writer claims that the US military has experienced nothing but stalemate, frustration and loss since its victory in World War II in 1945. Nevertheless, the author fails to distinguish between failures in war and failures in…
