Although he is said to be inexperienced, Wes has developed this sense of right judgment through the learning experience of life and his daily job. He is a victim of favoritism, and because of never being the one with the attention he has learned not to be like his bad father and his brother by teaching himself what is right in others eyes, not the eyes of his dad.
A Man For All Seasons : In All Quite on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, the question of who’s a hero and who isn’t is in World War I.

The boys got hooked onto this propaganda and registered for WWI.
One thing that really surprised me was how unprepared for World War II, or any battle really. Many of the isolationists in America believed that we were protected by the vast oceans surrounding us and the limited funds we had should be appropriated to dragging our country out of the depression it had been in since 1929. FDR was forced to basically rebuild our military branch so we were able to compete with the powerhouse Germany, which had one of the strongest military forces in the
Chessman gives good insight of how Roosevelt was eager and anxious to get into war with Spain. Chessman also shows Roosevelt’s aggressive mind when it comes to foreign and domestic policies when Roosevelt says, “I always hate words unless they mean blows” (p.67). This is an important concept Chessman shows because it creates the character of Roosevelt being very aggressive and to the point. Something that was disappointing in chapter five was that Chessman hardly talked about Roosevelt winning the Noble Peace Prize (p.126). Chessman sometimes spoke about what seemed like unimportant events throughout Roosevelt’s life, for example, his cattle ranch in the Dakota Territory.

What was covered up was the embarrassing reality surrounding the futility of his death-the wasting of an iconic American hero. What was fabricated was a fairy tale story of a heroic battle, one that would support the Bush administration's global war effort while not undermining its military recruiting. What was deliberately ignored was an incident at his funeral-reported in the May 4, 2004, San Francisco Chronicle and New York Daily News-when Tillman's youngest brother, Rich, took offense at words that Tillman was now "with God"; he stated to the gathering, "Pat isn't with God. He's fucking dead. He wasn't religious."
In Montana 1948, Wesley Hayden has to make one of the toughest decisions of his life, do the right thing and arrest his brother, or let his brother off because they are family. In Wesley’s eyes, he felt that it would be better to stand up for justice instead of back up his family. As a result of standing up for justice, Wes paid a hard price. He was never his father’s favorite son, but when Wes arrests Frank (the perfect son), it doesn’t sit too well with Grandpa Hayden. Julian Hayden practically eliminates Wes from his family.
