This was the type of warfare that the American’s were not use to fighting in. they were use to conventional wars were you could see the opposition, not hiding in the forest. They also used booby traps that were everywhere so a lot of American troops got injured. However, the failure of the American tactics could be classed as another reason that the American forces pulled out of Vietnam. The operation ‘search and destroy’ failed, as the idea of it was to go into villages and interrogate the villagers and torch their homes.
The church claims US war deaths are God's punishment for abortion and gay rights. The Westboro Baptist Church is certainly an unorthodox church. Only family members are allowed to attend services. Fewer than 20 persons attend. Doors are locked to all
There is no glory, it is impossible that soldiers sacrificing themselves to attend the whole of war. Harrison despites in the novel that illustrate behavior, survival at any time, thoughts of the soldiers of others; make the reader consider deeply what the ideas the Harrison presents. There is no heroism in the war causing the soldiers have no stake to devote their life, even though they have no experiences to attack in the first bombarment. For axample, in chapter 2 the narrator sign ‘I can find nothing to appease my terror’. Even though the narrtor do not believe in God but also begins to pray”God-God-please.” The soldiers just crawl over in the trenches and finding the safe places even there is no place to avoid the bombarment.
I do believe that Thomas Preston was innocent,he couldn't and wouldn't have given that order to shoot because he was directly in the line of fire. The troops did fire without his orders. Eleven people were hit,several by ricochet. Preston ordered them to stop firing which they did. Three died at the scene and two died later.

Sarty is the only member of the family to truly act on his own conscience, and ultimately this separates him from the rest of the family. Sarty was prepared, if necessary, to testify against his father in the incident of the burning of the Harris barn; he, alone, tries to save DeSpain's barn by warning the Major of what is about to happen. When Sarty follows DeSpain's horse up to the burning barn, he hears gunshots in the confusion. His father was not a man of such weapons: Abner's tool and weapon was fire. Sarty trips and falls, then, seeing what he has tripped over on the ground, he runs away from the conflagration.
He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze (English Standard Version, 2 Sam. 22.33-35).” Months later, Daniel was in his blacksmith shop and came across some very small scrap pieces of bronze. He got this idea to make a bow out of it in remembrance to the vow of vengeance. However, he would end up giving it to Thacia out of love and thankfulness toward what she had done for his sister. After his two friends have been murdered, Daniel starts to talk Jesus who asks him to give up his hate.
He also wrote the songs “Give peace a chance” and “Merry Christmas, war is over”. Those became two of the greatest anthems of the anti-Vietnam war-movement. But besides peace, what was the political heritage of John Lennon? He always stroked the world as a radical, it seemed like he was against most of things. Religion for example.

The word “rattle” can be associated with the rattle snake which incite fear and that’s exactly what Owen wants us to feel. On the other hand “cattle” does not bring fear or safety, the connotation of “cattle” is something that isn’t loved or cared for.
In Quite in the western Front when Paul returned home the society was in complete disillusion. No one had any sort of idea about what he had just been enduring in the war. People were so caught up in the admirable aspects of war and what propaganda had taught them, they were blind to what was going on. Death and murder became
