Operation Desert Storm Case Study

This law prohibited any speech that interfered with the drafting of men into the armed forces. The media is forced to silence, due to the fear of any repercussions, from the government. Merely voicing an opinion in the media about any war is now so looked down upon that it takes away freedom from the media to reach all types of audiences.

The case New York Times Co. Vs United States in summary was a first amendment battle between the United States government and the prominent newspaper cooperation New York Times in 1971. The premises of this legal battle was based on the New York Times reporter Daniel Ellsberg publishing in excerpts illegally leaked, classified documents containing the United States involvement in the Vietnam War specifically on the anticipated death counts (Institution, 2015, p. n .p). However, The United States government finding out about leakage placed a prior restraint also known as “government action that prohibits speech or other expression before it can take place” on New York Times cooperation based on National Security grounds (Prior Restraint, 2015). The case, despite the over powering strength of the nation and the accusations against the New York Times Cooperation the case was ruled in favor of the New York Times by the Supreme Court (Curry, Riley, & Battistoni, 2015, p. 458).

A 1,176 page document released by the Pentagon reviewing its policy on war reporting effectively legalizes the killing of journalists by American military forces. Reading the Law of War Manual's Orwellian protocol, one thinks more of 1984 than the First Amendment.

My organization is called Operation Salute. Operation Salute is an organization that helps homeless veterans and veterans with PTSD. I want to help the veterans because they do not get enough recognition for fighting for our country. In the US, 21 veterans commit suicide each day because of PTSD. 11% of homeless adults are veterans. 70% of veterans have substance abuse problems. I can help them by creating a care center for veterans who suffer from PTSD by giving them the care and rehabilitation they need. Veterans with PTSD can come to the care center and get the rehabilitation they need. If veterans do not want to come to the care center, trained nurses can come to their houses periodically and help them. The homeless veterans can come to this care center for shelter,

Censorship of war information in the United States between the mid twentieth and early twenty-first centuries has changed drastically. The role, methods and freedom of the media fundamentally changed between World War II and the first Iraq War in the early 2000’s. During World War II, citizens´ options for obtaining information, in general, and especially about the war, was extremely limited. All of these options were heavily controlled and censored accordingly at the Federal government’s discretion. In contrast to this, by the time of the first Iraq War, citizens had many more ways to get information and investigate the status of the war effort. The

They help us to express thoughts and ideas more clearly by adding colors and emotions to the sentences.

The Vietnam War (1954-75) was an introduction of the true horrors of war to many of the American people. Journalist showed some of the most gruesome live footage in the history of war. This changed the idea of war meant for many Americans, who went from, almost jingoism, patriotic support to utter mortification and disgust for war. Families were seeing cities being bombed and people die while eating at the dinner table. Death coverage was then rethought of, after much of the support of the American people for the Vietnam War was lost. “There is perhaps only one thing worse than losing a war, and that is fighting a war that people at home have forgotten or have no interest in.” said Tim Hsla in his article for the New York Times, “The Uneasy Media-Military

Operation Iraqi Freedom saw a new rise in media censorship for embedded journalists, before departing their country of origin and being embedded with a military unit journalists were required to undergo joint training and sign contracts vowing not to report information that could compromise unit position, future missions, classified weapons, and information they might find during their time in the field. When asked about the purpose of the embedded journalists and these new restrictions Lt. Col. Rick Long of the U.S. Marine Corps replied "Our job is to win the war. Part of that is information warfare. So we are going to attempt to dominate the information environment.” Journalism from the front was no longer being used as a method of information broadcasting for concerned families and civilians at home, but to ensure proper reception of the war and shape public opinion not only in the United States, but the world as a whole.

Does anybody recall Operation Desert Storm when the United States attacked the nation of Iraq? It was a quick and steadfastly triumph directed by the United States Military and their partners. US use of insight from utilization of SIGINT, HUMINT, SIGNINT, and Symbolism airplane perception empowered them to wreck the Iraqi's powers. Having this influence of operational insight played a huge element in the death of the Iraqi powers to in the end considering rout.

War is truly a horrific event that unfortunately occurs in our world frequently. There are a variety of ethical questions surrounding war, such as how much should citizens know about the fighting? When it comes to reporting the news, it is the goal of the network to report the news first. The benefit to this is people will turn to them first when it comes to breaking stories. However if the news is delivered based on speed and not accuracy this can be harmful to society. War is a very serious event and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, reporters must make sure facts are correct and unbiased. In both the Vietnam War and our current war we see reporters going to extreme measures to be the first

For the last decade, the Army has been actively engaged in the War on Terror. Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) began on October 7, 2001 with allied air strikes on Taliban and Al Quada targets in Afghanistan. Even though United States President Barrack Obama announced the drawdown of Armed Forces in Afghanistan by the end of 2016, OEF would have lasted 15 years, becoming the Army’s longest war in the United States history (Taylor, 2014). On the other hand, Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) lasted approximately 105 months, beginning in March 2003 and lasted until December 2011 with the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq (Schifrin, 2011). Between OEF and OIF, over 2 million American Military personnel have deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan or both
