Maj. Gen. Smith benefitted from aggressive intelligence operations and knew the Chinese had massed around his division. He was certain that his Marines would face strong Chinese resistance west of the Chosin Reservoir as they pushed towards the Yalu (Drury, pg.16). Maj. Gen. Smith, unhappy with this

In the first section of the text, the sergeant lists questions that his troops would ask him that he was responsible for answering. This was usually a simple task. But when one of his men got shot and and asked “Sergeant? Sergeant?” (210), he did not know how to answer. This comparison of mere questions in different contexts develops the point the

They realized they had a problem since no other units were up to the line with them; they had to wait this out. They were ordered to lie down in the tall grass. The fighting started to break out in front of them at a small skirmish line. Many of the men had never seen battle, so some of the men stood up to watch what was going on. Maj. John D. Musser of the 143rd wrote: "… a few shells came booming over our heads, making many of the uninitiated dodge muchly and now and then a wounded skirmisher was brought in from the skirmish line and taken to the rear, all of which had a tendency to make us nervous and uneasy…" (Tomasak,

Special Forces soldiers work in foreign lands with situations which are not always completely clear from its beginning. The Special Operation Imperatives serve as the base for success by providing the framework to develop and assist the host nation in achieving their desired goals. Through this essay I will use the novel “The Ugly American” (William J. Lederer & Eugene Burdick) to provide context to the benefits of applying such imperatives and the consequences of improper application. I will bring to light the actions of the characters and depict the reasons why the application of the imperative made the character succeed or fail in his desired goal.

“Faster you filthy dogs!” We were no longer marching, we were running. Like automatons, the SS were running as well, weapons in hand. We looked as if we were running from them… If one of us stopped for a second, a quick shot eliminated the filthy dog.”

The Army of the Potomac had stopped at the War College; General Magnus was a very unhappy man to find no one home. The entire place had been cleaned out by he assumed, the 28th ID, and something else wasn’t quite right. There was something nagging at him. Why hadn’t anyone really engaged them in battle, well outside of the gangs and civilian formed militias. Where the hell was the 28th ID heading? What were the Special Forces up to? Who were they reporting to? He had so many unanswered questions. He needed answers. Four of the scouting platoons he had sent out at the beginning of the week had for the most part disappeared.

“Don’t let your struggles become your identity” -Ralston Bowles. Today, Rawlston is a professional musician/songwriter, who sings folk music. When Ralston was a young man in middle school and highschool he was always being stereotyped for enjoying to sing. Most people would agree that it is wonderful to watch kids who are in rough situations make friends. When kids play sports they will likely make more friends. Some people portray themselves the way they do so that they can fit in and make friends.

The larger infantry, armor and artillery forces were heading in the direction of Dublin. They were under orders to aide and assist any civilians that needed it. Prior to leaving the Fort, Captain Alexander suggested to MG Romney that it was time to dig out the old PRC’s radio sets and see if they worked, to order every single Soldier on post to dig through their conex and or team room, to leave no stone unturned, but to find those radio sets. He promised that some would work.

It is unclear as to why such devastation necessary. These targets were cities, not exclusive military positions. The deaths were mostly civilians, not soldiers. Countless innocent lives were ruined by this choice

6,000 were injured. Close to 200 civilians jumped from extreme heights in the decision to end their

Krulak's telling of the Corps' history is among the sections which retains its relevance. At all points, Krulak's historical reporting is clear, straightforward and in the cases of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, strengthened by the author's firsthand and experience-driven accounts. Certainly, Krulak's experience is among the text's most important virtues. Indeed, this also informs the sense of protectiveness and resentment that sometimes emerges in the text as a product of what Krulak characterizes as a sort of relegation and isolation within the broader American defense scheme. In a sequence

Buried deep beneath the ground, in the far edge of Kaa-Lya, Arten Damon and his commanders looked at the situation board. He wished he could be up there with his men, but it was far safer down here. Seventeen minutes, when they’d launched the attack, there had been six enemy tanks in the city, out of the fifteen working ones planetwide. They’d gotten five, but three more had flown in, and they’d lost more than thirty tanks of their own to take them down. On a screen to their side, Arten looked through the camera of an improvised tank. The whole force, a thousand men and more than six dozen “tanks” even after the losses they took, was advancing down the street, to the central computer 5 miles away. Their slow pace was necessitated by the infantry, who had to take more conventional transport. This battle seemed to be going far better than the one up there. The enemy infantry had fled from their barracks in disarray. They had not yet thought to bring new ones in. The government center came into view around

A though experiment is an experiment carried out only in the imagination. Thought experiments use the imagination to investigate the nature of things and are used in a variety of areas like ethics. Thought experiments in ethics are also made to make us think more then we normal would about something and maybe even challenge our ideas. Rawls’s “original position” can be considered a though experiment because it asks us to imagine ourselves in a situation where we know nothing about our lives. We have to create new rules for a society but we don’t know how these rules will affect us because we don’t know our position in this future society. This could never actually happen and it can actually cause us to look at fairness and social systems a

Outside of the town I found a couple of Brotherhood of Steel soldiers next to a bunker door. “Is this the entrance to the B.O.S bunker?” I asked looking at them. “You are correct, now what business do you have here?” He said in a strict tone. “Sorry to bother you, I was told that you might be able to help me by General Tullius,” I replied. “You may proceed, the leader of our squad is just inside,” the said as they moved out of the way of the door. Inside, it looked like it had once been a reasonably well kempt building, but now it was run down and in shambles. It was quite obvious who the leader was, as he was wearing a gleaming set of T-51b power armor and had a laser rifle strapped to his back. I walked up to him and asked, “sir, are you
