Between 1 million to 1.5 million people were killed in that war and millions of people when to a diffrent countries such as pakistan or iran as refugees. The United States supported Afghanistan by supplying arms to the Mujahadeen. Ronald Reagan sent billions of dollars to the Mujahadeen so he can help Jihad against the Soviet Union. “Reagan believed this defense shield could make nuclear war impossible. Reagan deployed CIA special activities division paramilitary officers to train, equip and lend the Mujahideen battalion against the Soviet army”.

Before the 1900th century, various countries such as China and France dominated the country currently known today as Vietnam.

Just under 42 years ago, the United States fought a war against Vietnam for almost 20 years. The United States lost. It was a tragedy because many lives were lost and our Presidents made multiple mistakes and false promises. The U.S. had lost its first war in history and it would go down as one of our worst mistakes. In the following paragraphs, we will go over two separate accounts from two people living in the same area, Buffalo, New York. Patricia “Pat” Musiak had family members and loved ones fight for America and Raymond “Ray” LaMarca, Sr. fought for the U.S. in the Army.

The war of Vietnam played a significant role in Tim O’Brien’s life throughout his works and experiences. He was drafted to the Vietnam war after graduating college in 1968 where he served two years. O’Brien wrote the novel The Things They Carried after returning from the war as a way to clear off his mind from the experiences he went through. In the novel he constructed many memories that may or may not be true, but are told using imagination as a guide to explore the mind of the readers. O’Brien used his novel to liberate his many occurrences he faced and dealt with throughout his journey. In an interview with Michael Coffey on Patrick Smith’s article O’Brien states, “My goal was to write something utterly convincing but without any rules as to what’s real and made up…” (97). Tim O’Brien uses imagination to establish a therapy within his writing as a way to cope with reality based on his war transition, allusions, and stories to save him.

To a large extent did Wilfred Burchett’s reflections of Australian involvement in the Vietnam war Challenge the Australian Foreign policy during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Because of Burchett’s decision to report from the Vietnamese side his Australian passport was taken off of him and he was no longer allowed to enter Australian borders. This can be shown in an interview with the ABC when he Stated, “My passport was actually stolen from my pocket in a guesthouse shortly after I crossed the Vietnamese frontier… I requested the Australian government for a new passport, but that request went unfulfilled for 17 years.” This shows that he was against the Australian foreign policy during this time (1960 and 1970’s). This can be corroborated with the

The main character of this book is Frederick Douglass because the book is about his life. Some supporting characters are Edward Covey who is a slave master and other masters are Auld family. Also there is his grandma and Betty Bailey. Frederick Douglass changes in the book i think is how he look at slavery because at the beginning he did not know much about slavery but throughout the book he found out how harsh slavery

Throughout history people have always had different ideologies about society. During the 1960's this statement is evident. Some people wanted to stop the war in Vietnam, while others wanted to stay in the war. In today's society, American citizens argue over money, how parents should take care of their kids, and the government controlling people's lives. If we go back twenty years to the 1990's the same problems are there. Chris McCandless was one such person that did not agree with everything that society threw at him including money and family. He liked his life at home and loved his parents, but he felt something was missing from what he wanted. The way his family plays into society just does not agree with him. So he leaves home, goes on

Out in the yard, Allie saw a few faces she recognized, including Brandy Ingalls and Jeanette Ingalls Thomaston- Jeanette looked pale and the color of the gown she wore only served to wash out her complexion even more. Allie wondered if she looked as pale as Jeanette did. She assumed Jeanette’s paleness was due to her husband’s departure to serve the Cause, as everyone was now calling the War with the North. When she alighted from the carriage, the tension

Robert S. McNamara is seen as one of the most influential figures, his reputation is surrounded by many controversies due to his position of Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War. Although, I do agree to the most part with the term "the fog of war", however the blame needs to be placed on all of those who were involved with the decisions that allowed the Vietnam War to escalate. While McNamara admits to many mistakes, he constantly gets defensive during the interview and at the end, he blames the president. As I see it, the Vietnam War did personify the term "The fog of war", the whole war made it confusing and distorted because of their will that allowed them to defeat the French. With the defeat of the French armies made it difficult

For most women, however, the experience of war was masked and covered behind nationalism and propaganda. Although much of the book takes place on the front, hints of what is happening back home are frequently given, mostly through letters received by Smithie from her mother and through the character of B.F. Mrs. Evans-Mawning, throughout the novel, serves as a figure of the worst kind of feminine nationalism, boasting about Roy but not having the edge on Smithie's mother because she has only her one son to sacrifice as opposed to Smithie's larger family. Smithie also notes that she is sick of reading positive news about wonder war girls in the news, comparing her experience to having a baby because once you get started "your trapped in it." (Smith, pg. 134). Women on the home front were being coddled into believing everything was going well because this was still a time in which men saw women as more sensitive then they were intelligent and therefore needed to be protected (Thebaud, pg. 95). This sort of "sugar-coating" gave women false impressions about the war, which was particularly disappointing to those who enlisted. In one letter from Smithie's younger sister, Trix, she writes "Why the dickens they dress you up in a pretty cap and make you think you're going to smooth the patients fevered brow beats me hollow." (Smith, pg. 84). Another letter in the book that is very reflective of home front feelings is the one Smithie receives from B.F, who
