I do not think that the United States were the good guys in the Philippine- American war. The only right that we had to be in the Philippines was the right taken from Spain. In many ways the imperialism idea that the U.S. had were undemocratic. The United States at the time was developing and did not have adequate resources to keep military in foreign places. I think that we should have focused on own land. We have a large chunk of land full of growth possibilities. The war was not only brutal on both sides, but it also increased tensions about race. Overall the war did not accomplish much besides hurt both sides. The United States should have stopped their efforts after they met resistance.

On April 11, 1951 President Harry Truman made the decision to fire the Army General Douglas McArthur after MacArthur made public statements that had contradicted the policies and positions of his administration. While General MacArthur was a well redound hero of World War Two, his role in the Korean War can be a questionable and controversial topic.

Remembering a Forgotten war by Donald R. Hickey 2012, an academic journal, talks about the military history where by people were subjected to a difficult and different lifestyle than the one they were used too at that time.

Douglas MacArthur was a US soldier, born in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. The son of a Union army hero during the Civil War (they are the only father and son to win the Congressional Medal of Honor) and a mother ambitious for his success, he trained at West Point (1903), rose steadily in the army, and demonstrated his bravado on a secret mission to Mexico (1914). In World War 1 he commanded a brigade in combat in France (1918), where he earned a reputation for bravery (wounded three times) as well as foppery - he carried a muffler and a riding crop into the line, but not a helmet or a gas mask. After serving as the superintendent of West Point (1919–22), he completed his second tour of duty in the Philippines.

Respected by most, yet feared by many, General George S. Patton was one of the most profound leaders the United States Army has ever had. He took part throughout the Mexican Revolution, World War One, and dominating the stage throughout World War Two. His career as an officer took stage shortly after his graduation from The United States Army Military Academy, where he branched as a cavalry officer (Patton, Wikipedia, 2017). Inpatient and young, he eventually went on his first deployment as a lieutenant to take part in the battle of San Miguelito. It was in Mexico that Patton met General John Joseph Pershing, where it is believed that he based a lot of his military leadership styles on the way Pershing led his troops (Pershing, Wikipedia, 2017). Through imitating Pershing, George had some of the most courageous leadership styles known widely throughout, where many praised his bravery, yet several found him foolish.

General George S. Patton was born on November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel California. He was raised in a military family and throughout his early life, he was constantly hearing stories about the Civil War. He started his military journey at the Virginia Military Institute and a year later, on June 11, 1909 he was transferred to West Point. While attending West Point, he met Beatrice Ayer which later became his wife on May 26th 1910. After graduation, he was assigned to the 15th Cavalry Regiment. Lieutenant Patton represented US at the 1912 Olympics and finished 5th on Modern Pentathlon after a mediocre shooting event. The year later he was awarded Master of Sword at the French Cavalry School.

There are a number of qualities that quantify good leaderships and good leaders. According to Kouzes and Posner in their book The Leadership Challenge, all successful leaders have (5) practices in common. They “Model the Way”, “Inspire a shared vision”, “Challenge the process”, “enable others to act” and “encourage the heart”(15). Never is there a more important time to have exemplary leadership, than in a time of war. Both the American Civil War and World War II showed what was possible through good leadership. From abolishing slavery and preserving the Union, to fighting tyranny and oppression abroad, both events in American history had a profound impact on all those involved. The impact would most certainly be different if not for the leadership of Colonel Lawrence Chamberlain of the Union Army during the Civil War and General George S. Patton during World War II. Both leaders possessed the 5 practices essential for god leadership, yet both leaders to different approaches to accomplish their goals.

In the time that the Soviet Union existed, having a strong military power was an obligation. As the United States was trying to build its military power, the Soviet Union was doing the same. Both the Soviet Union and the United States put money into their military so that It would be very strong. In the 1970s and 1980s the Soviet Union were thought to be one of the most solid political units in the world, but in all reality, the Soviet Union weren’t what they seemed to be. There were many economic problems for the Soviet Stalinist system, such as the lack of acknowledgement for working well and getting the job done.

My fellow cousin, how are you? I have yet to send a letter and I’m sorry for that. Life right now is a little uneasy for me, there is so much to fear and not to fear. Texas has just made its move on leaving the union and there is so much to think of that.

The American Force was the name applied to the American troops serving in Europe during World War I. When congress declared War on Germany in 1917. The United States did not have the organization necessary for the deployment of numbers that would be required. On May 26, 1917, General Pershing was instructed to take his soldiers to France. Pershing cabled the War Department that he would require at least a million men and that there could be as many as three million

Shortly before 8am on Sunday 7 December 1941 , the first of two waves of Japanese aircraft launched a devastating attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet, moored in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The raid, which came with no warning and no declaration of war, destroyed four battleships, leaving an additional 4 damaged in merely two hours. The attack destroyed 188 US aircraft, killed more than 2,400 Americans, and injured another 1,200 . Although remembered as “the day that will live in infamy”, the exact reason behind the attack on Pearl Harbor still remains unknown. Some believe that the Japanese were galvanized by Germany to attack the United States because of the assumption that the United States would be unable to concentrate all of its resources toward the fight with Japan. Germany desired assistance in the fight during World War II and, because of that, nearly guaranteed the United States’ defeat if Japan attacked. On the other side, it is believed that the Japanese prompted the Pacific war with the attack on Pearl Harbor in order to eliminate their primary competitor for resources in the Pacific and fulfill its destiny of creating a “greater East Asian co-prosperity sphere” .

1943: The Battle of Midway is one of many commercially and critically successful games from the golden age of arcade video games that are remembered. The graphics in Galaga matches nicely with the optical experience/flow of the games design. [Fig.5] The aesthetics in 1943: The Battle of Midway are extremely effective; the use of CRT fixed colours for the monitor completely determined the game’s visual style. The scene creates a kind of ‘hyper-real’ look, which fits perfectly with the theme. This resulted back with the objects in the game being more emphasized and making the gamer more aware of where everything is. 1943’s aesthetics attempts to put the player in the middle of the action. This is clear from the very outset. The first think that the player engages with is the cabinet itself, prior to any engagement with the game itself. The design of the cabinet has gone through a number of iterations. The original is the most functional in terms of aesthetics.
