Robert S. Mcnamar The Vietnam War

In her book The Vietnam Wars, 1945-1990, author Marilyn Young examines the series of political and military struggles between the United States and Vietnam, a nation that has been distinctively separated as the South and the North. Young chooses to express the daily, weekly, monthly progresses of the affairs collectively called the Vietnam Wars, focusing on the American interventions in the foreign soil. She seeks to provide an answer to a question that has haunted the world for years: What was the reason behind the United States interfering in the internal affairs of a foreign country in which it had no claims at all? Young discloses the overt as well as covert actions undertaken by the U.S. government officials regarding the foreign affairs with Vietnam and the true nature of the multifaceted objectives of each and every person that’s involved had.

He feels Yanagi’s pain through the connection but he does not draw attention to it. To be in the heat of a powerplay game such as the one boiling over in Konoha right now is a moment of extreme delicacy and ruthlessness; attachments are withheld, persons numbed down. The rampant mentality is this: eliminate those who are likely to get in one’s way, even if they are friends, or valuable allies. Nobody who lived through the Warring States Era would be unfamiliar with this tenet: do what must be done. And if Tobirama was forced to choose among the Yamanaka twins, he would keep Yanagi alive, simply because she is now the more valuable of the two, even though Yanagi herself and most definitely, not Osamu, would admit it. For to dabble in politics is to know who has value, worth and utility, and who do not.

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant. On April 9th, 1865 ending the brutal war. By the end 186,000 Black men both “free and fugitive” had joined the union's army. The north has finally won the war. However this did not end slavery it just protected their rights.

The Vietnam War was certainly controversial. There were many protests that erupted across college campuses and throughout numerous town and cities. Many individuals viewed the war as unnecessary and unwinnable. The draft was also very widely criticized and seen as a negative point in the war. The draft was forcing young college students to go fight in dangerous territory. The most controversial aspect of the Vietnam War is certainly that it was deemed unwinnable by the US government, but they still chose to remain in Vietnam and fight. Why was the Vietnam War unwinnable though? Was it actually unwinnable or did the US government

“The myth of McNamara is really true!” to express his compliment to McNarmara’s work and confident assertiveness. In 1964, he listed some actions to further the America’s engagement in Vietnam and prevent the security of U.S. Army in Vietnam. At the first half of 1965, McNamara’s advice to Johnson was most hawkish. The trust from Johnson and strong attitude made McNamara’s suggestions dominated in Vietnam policymaking.

“The Things They Carried” written by Tim O’Brien, is a story of becoming a man. Taking place during the Vietnam War, this piece of literature is reflective of the author’s personal war experiences. Tim O’Brien blends fiction and autobiography in this story and realistically portrays the horrors of the Vietnam War. First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross, also known as the protagonist of the story, is responsible for the lives of his men. The story opens with a list of all the things Jimmy carries, one of them are letters from a girl named Martha and a longing for her love. Jimmy’s world is distraught when Ted Lavender gets killed and blames himself for the tragedy.

Although the Vietnam War was caused by the United States in desire to stop communism, it had negative consequences on Americans including social, economic and even political consequences while the event helped in shaping modern world history.

The Vietnam War also known as the second Indochina war started on November 1st 1955 ended on April 30th 1975. The war was between North and South Vietnam and occurred during the Cold War which was between two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S and other anti-communist nations supported South Vietnam and the Soviet Union and other communist nations supported North Vietnam. North Vietnam was ruled by a dictator in a communist society and North Vietnam was a democratic capitalist society like America. A war broke out when the ruler of South Vietnam wanted to unify Vietnam but South Vietnam didn’t want to become a communist state so to prevent this they stopped elections which angered North Vietnam and they went to war. But North Vietnam wouldn’t want to become unified if t hadn’t been for the French that wanted to keep part of Vietnam and split it at the 17th parallel. Both sides had aid of a superpower and the outcome of the war was North Vietnam winning and unifying with South Vietnam. So who was to blame for this war that cost so many lives of almost 60,000 American men and 2 million Vietnamese men and how it affected the world; I believe everyone was an active contributor.

The Vietnam War was one of the bloodiest wars in the history of Vietnam. Vietnam use to be a peaceful country until the idea of communism started spreading across Vietnam. Many wanted to stay democratic but saw what happened to the Germans and started to lean towards communism. Many also wanted to stay democratic and still had it hopes high that it will soon get their lives and economy back on track.

“Nixon Wins By Thin Margin” read the front page of the New York Times on Thursday November 7th, 1968, two days after Election Day. Richard Nixon won about 4 times the margin he lost to John F. Kennedy in 1960. The craziness that occurred during the election went hand in hand with the chaos of 1968. In this election, there were three candidates: Richard Nixon of the Republican Party, Hubert Humphrey of the Democratic Party, and George Wallace of the American Independent Party. The candidates did not know it at the time, but they would become part of the Presidential Election that would help shape American Politics to what they are today. The election of Richard Nixon in 1968 marked a turning point in the American political ideology,

Before the story began, Charlie Wilcox started his adventure at the age of fourteen by being shipped off to England, by a boy with the name of Clint, who tormented Charlie for years before he left for war. In England, Charlie fought many battles, along with his best friend Jim where they made many friends, but died in the war. Now, Charlie and Jim return to their homeland, where their friends and family awaits.

The entry of the United States into World War 2 has largely influenced the war by forming alliance. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd American president who led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II. Roosevelt was one of the promising leaders where his decisions had impacted the course of the war and also post-war.

“War”, Edwin Starr: The purpose of this song was, to talk about how the Vietnam War was absolutely bad for America because all it did was bring bad things to America. Also by saying that there is always a better way to solve a conflict, instead of always war. Leading to many mens deaths. He is also saying that war solves absolutely nothing in the world. Wars do nothing but propagate the problem that caused it. The problem doesn’t go away, it simply transforms into a new problem. War cannot bring life, but only death. Star th hates war because it only brings pain and suffering to those involved and the families of dead soldiers. While listening to this song, I could see how Edwin Starr felt the mothers pain during the War, because they had

In the opening scenes of the documentary, The Fog of War, Robert McNamara states, “Any military commander who is honest admits that he has made mistakes, errors of judgment.” Throughout the documentary, I got the sense that McNamara is asking for forgiveness from the American public and is telling them that he wishes things went differently. There are many times throughout the film that McNamara is a sympathetic figure, but they are mainly towards the deaths and tragedies of the American people and soldiers, and less on the tragedies of the Vietnamese. As the Secretary of Defense, serving underneath the rule of the President, McNamara was not and should not have been critical of the

McNamara is a good example of a powerful figure that had a terrific war mind, but wasn't the best when it came to making or keeping peace. The Vietnam War was one that came with lots of controversy because of how costly it was. The war lasted many years and resulted in the death of many American soldiers. McNamara felt that we could win the war and continued to send troops into battle. This was not good for any hopes of achieving peace because this did nothing but make the Vietnamese unhappy and less likely to want to stop the war. Instead of trying to make peace
