This source is not reliable because it seems that Lord Lansdowne is using his opinion and his status/authority to try and get the public to agree with him wanting the war to end which suggests it is not a genuine concern of Lord Lansdowne which may affect the usefulness of this source. Source 2 also agrees to a far extent because it is a letter from Vera Brittan to her brother saying that she wanted the war to continue even though she was against war and condemned it. This source is very reliable because the letter is from Vera Brittan whose fiancé died of wounds from the war which means the British public could relate to her emotionally. In addition Source 3 also agrees to an extent because it was a reply to a letter from a common soldier which entailed the support from women to the soldiers in the war. This source may not be reliable because it is only one person’s opinion.
"America will never get its act together until we recognize how much trouble we're really in, and how much effort and shared sacrafice is needed to stop the decline. Only then will we be able to begin resuscitating the dream" (567). Cal Thomas, the author of "Is the American Dream Over?," agrees with Bob Herbert's statement "America will never get its act together until we recognize how much trouble we're really in" (Thomas 570). But Thomas only agrees with Herbert's statement to a certain extent. Thomas feels as though that Herbert is right but he's only pointing out the obvious in the matter.
Why I should not disrespect an NCO and the consequences I am writing this essay because I disrespected a non commissioned officer. I do apologize for what I did and have said. I have learned from my mistake and I see why I am to do this essay and that is to show that disrespecting a non commissioned officer will not be tolerated and two give clear understanding of the impact that disrespecting a Non Commissioned officer has on others. For many reasons the Non Commissioned Officers keep the moral up and motivate soldiers and encourage them to do their very best and showing disrespect to the non commissioned officer's not only lowers moral, it also makes it to where the NCO thinks less of the person and lowers the person’s creditably. There is a possibility of Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) actions taken against the soldier.
Its view is invalid, mainly because there isn’t a South Vietnamese opinion to back it up, that the South Vietnamese government had gained in credibility. This makes the source’s credibility pitiful, as he provides no proof. The only Hess provides is that of an American General, who probably wouldn’t say anything that went against his side, which would question his successfulness. And he does as I thought. He says that “with Tet, the Government of Vietnam had won a major battle for the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese” which is a statement I find to be criminally wrong, not only because of the reasons pre-mentioned but because he has hindsight.
Marine Corps training taught us to kill efficiently and to try to survive. But it also taught us loyalty to each other - and love” (315). I admire that he talks about the bond that they all share by the time the war is over. He values the friendships that he has made, and the love that they all have for each other. I really like that he never loses touch with reality even though it was hard at
America, and the protection of her people, was his sole force and motivation. He was not there to set Iraqi’s free, but to make sure the terrorists never made their way to American shores. The book is very informally written, which makes you feel like you’re truly hearing Kyle’s voice in the stories — almost as though you’re sitting with him in a room as he shares his experiences with you. And he shares very matter-of-factly. The best an account of war can hope to accomplish is to remind readers that you can’t ever really wrap your mind around what it’s like for those on the ground, because you can never know or really get it until you live it.
Harry Williamson Response Paper Letter from a Birmingham jail In the article Disagreements About Civil Disobedience Divide America's Anti War Movement we are presented with several views of civil disobedience present in todays society. The sole goal of these organizations is to end the war in Iraq because the members believe what is happening overseas is unjust and immoral. The feud between the organizations is simple; what are the best steps to help end the war? The cultural relativism aspect of this situation is that America (our current day society) wants war with another country, these two organizations are attempting to change that view. On one side you have people like Patrick Reinsborough who is an Organizer of Direct Action Against the War.
That all the loneliness is because of war, which we should bring our troops home so they don’t have to go through this. If there wasn’t war then there wouldn’t be any empty seats, no one would be missed and families wouldn’t go through hard ship, but by them even saying that it is a contradiction. Them be able to say that is freedom of speech; the freedom to do what we want, with some stipulation. This is what those soldiers are overseas to protect, they are protecting these freedoms so people like that can be able to say their opinions, even if it contradicts itself. The advertisement, “Whole Again” by Jeep was a compelling clip that grabbed the heart of viewers by the multiple uses of logos, pathos, and ethos.
His account of this war was based on his personal experiences and the statements of eyewitnesses, and continues to be recognized as an important work of political theory. There are some who downplay its importance, citing that it does not take into account the ability of man to change and become better human beings. However, history has borne out that human nature is not able to be completely reshaped and therefore, Thucydides reasoning that those with all of the power will continue to promote self-interest and ignore justice can be
He is portrayed as close-minded and old, yet experienced. We are led to believe that Fowler is quiet the opposite of his counterpart, Pyle. Pyle works for the American Aid Mission and, unlike Fowler, truly believed he was there to make a difference. “Pyle was absorbed already in the Dilemmas of Democracy and the responsibilities of the West; he was determined ... to do good, not to any individual person but to a country, a continent, a world. Well, he was in his element now with the whole universe to improve.” (Greene 18) He came to Vietnam with almost no knowledge of the war and yet believed he
