The War Of The United States Military

Swimming against a current of pro-war fervor, McKinley stuck to his guns and persisted on remaining diplomatic with the investigation of the Maine explosion still ongoing. This seemed to infuriate the entire nation. Jingoists in congress, yellow journalists and the American public were clamoring for Spanish blood after the Maine, and to them McKinley came across as a feeble leader. McKinley offered one last chance for Spain to avoid war by agreeing to an armistice. He thought that the Spanish would understand that it would be a foolish decision to engage in war with a rising US power. The negative Spanish response did not leave McKinley with many options.

Every year, one million immigrants settle in the United States hoping for a new beginning, new opportunities, and a new life; however, they are welcomed by animosity, injustice, and discrimination. Even the president of the United States finds these immigrants to be troublesome despite their dedication to work hard to sustain themselves in their new home. Race related crimes continue to increase and the government is clearly making efforts to prevent more immigrants from seeking refuge in America as evidenced by the recent Muslim ban put into place by the Trump administration. Individuals fleeing from discrimination in their homelands are welcomed to a new form of discrimination here in the land of the free. Muslim

Although there are many defining years in the making of the United States as a nation, 1776 is the most important year due in majority to Washington and his decisions during the war.

The war had been going on for over a 3 years now, and it seemed as if it had only just begun. It also seemed like the U.S. was inevitably going to lose. Their wasn’t really much on their side other than a history record. China on the other hand had 4 times the army size, and an extra billion people that could be forced to fight if need be. The only hope the U.S. had was to think faster, fight harder, and have some really magnificent, ingenious idea.

War is unpredictable and each case found in American history consists of unique variables, making it nearly impossible for an individual to know precisely what actions will results in the best outcomes. Despite the fact that there may be similarities and comparison between a few cases of war, and that there are lessons learned from past mistakes and triumphs, the United States, or any country, does not have a foolproof guideline on how to handle wars when they appear. To be Commander-in-Chief of the United States military is a massive task in and of itself, without adding all the additional issues the President has upon his plate throughout his presidency. To be a president as war, is always a possibility for those who hold the office, however no president has a true way to prepare himself for what precisely to do when such a time comes. All wars have different factors and varying solutions, all presidents have diverse personalities and methods of handling a situation, thus there is no way to predict how much power a president needs in order to fulfill his main priority under the role of president as commander-in-chief: To take the actions best suited for keeping the American public safe. This debate of how much power a president should be allotted under the crisis of war, is very important, because give the president too little and they may not have enough power to effectively control the situation, but give him too much and the president may exploit their power gained

America endured several events that launched it into becoming known as the world’s policeman. From the Spanish-American War to the two world wars to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States has positioned itself to be the world’s superpower. The ability of “Big Brother” United States to maneuver through land, sea, air, or virtual space makes the U.S. virtually unstoppable.

The British has welcomed the American entrance into the European front. Along with troops, the United States was backed by the american war machine, what almost seemed like an endless supply of industry, manufacturing, and the capital for both. This represented the power shift to the other side of the Atlantic. Britain’s financial resources were in a desperate situation, and their unquestionable international supremacy was going along with it. Going into the end of 1941, XXX reflected on this shift on the horizon. “‘Our War’ had become the world war, in which we were a tremendously important unit, but no longer in control of the decisions.”

On May 31, 1993 the 42nd President of The United States, Bill Clinton, stood before a crowd of just about 4000 onlookers and millions more viewing from home. For those in attendance, and around the country, this was a extraordinary day. Memorial Day brings out many emotions for millions of people every year, emotions such as pride, fear, anger, sadness or anxiety. Memories of loved ones gone, a parent one may not have met because he was killed in battle while they were yet to be born, a fellow brother or sister of the United States Armed Services who they spent many years beside: training, sleeping outdoors, consoling forming a strong bond as if they were family, and possibly the most horrible event one could ever witness, watching their fellow solider die in battle defending the freedoms and rights of Americans and humanity around the world. To be more specific the Vietnam War. This war is the cause why when President Clinton sauntered to the podium to address the crowd, after being introduced by the well-respected Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell, there was no doubt that participants of the gathering did not agree he was the appropriate individual to give this speech, regardless of his stature as The President of The United States of America. In fact, many were disrespected, hostile and irritated with him and presented no fear in communicating their disapproval publicly.

September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda launched a terrorist attack on the United States of America. The attack provoked the United States in retaliation. The U.S. was after al-Qaeda’s leader Osama bin Laden. The Iraq and Afghanistan war became the longest war in United States history. Music was being pumped out left and right from artist to pay their respects to the soldiers, and men and women who lost their lives through the war. The music was made special because no matter what genre of music was produced individuals respected it because of the importance it had for a nation that was hit from the side without any warning. Music during the war has five component parts: music for propaganda, commemoration, healing, home front, and as a weapon of war.

All through the 1960s and 1970s Americans got to be uneasy not just about the pained position of the United States in world undertakings, additionally about the issue created at home by remote ensnarement’s. Vietnam, either on account of the singing war experience itself or in view of the lessons Americans later drew from the experience, radically modified society amid the1960s and 1970s. The confidence in the privilege to impact the inside issues of different nations prompted fiasco in Southeast Asia. This fiasco would everlastingly be known as the longest war in the country 's history (kept going 25 years), in which the world 's most capable military (United States) spent itself in a purposeless endeavor to quell a laborer individuals.

“It is the most unsordid act in the history of any nation,” Winston Churchill proclaimed when Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act, giving tens of billions of dollars worth of war materiel and supplies to the enemies of Germany in the Second World War. (Underhill 69). As the democracies of Europe fell to the fascist menace, the USA acted as a final bastion against the Axis, fighting an industrial and economic ‘undeclared war’ from the signing of the Lend-Lease Act on March 11, 1941 to the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7 of the same year. The Lend-Lease, in addition to shifting the tide to the favor of the Allies and the Soviet Union, had significant long-term effects - it provided the basis for the Marshall Plan to restore Europe after the war, and thus helped spawn the interventionist policy which the American government used as a basis for several actions, ranging from the Gladio Operation in Italy to the Vietnam War. (Willbanks 56). Therefore, the exploration into the economics and politics of the Lend-Lease Act provided the pathway for the United States to achieve both political and economic dominance in international encounters and exchanges initially in the West and, later, globally.

The direct effects of mental illnesses additionally represent an extensive, and frequently unanticipated, caregiver obligation. The effects of post-combat mental and cognitive conditions inevitably extend beyond the affected service member. As they try to continue with life, their injuries can wear down those with whom they interact, and those closest to the service member are likely to be the most extremely affected. There is an expansive scope of negative outcomes that post-combat mental disorders have had on the families of service members returning from conflicts. The brunt of the burden of service members with mental illness happens to fall on the people who are close to the individual, usually their spouses.

This country has grown from thirteen colonies (states) to fifty within three hundred years. When you ask “What do you think of the United States?” Many people would say leadership, ambition, and fear. Leadership because we have demonstrated to the world that not only we can take care of ourselves but help more nations along the way; we have also made many inventions, the use of electricity, the car, the first movie, etc. Determination because even though at the beginning we were a small little union we defeated the power house at the time (Britain) not once but twice. Ambition because we as Americans always look forward to the future and we do things to make our lives better and not worse. Lastly fear because everybody knows that the one country they can 't mess with is the United States (just stating the truth). I might be speaking the truth with all this but United States has grown through rough times one of them being World War Two; being one of the most significant wars in history. The beginning of the war for us was pearl harbor, a horrible event that would forever mark this nation. From then on thousands of soldiers were sent to fight the Japanese and the Germans. Although the United States had soldiers to protect the American citizens during the war, there were still more people needed. I believe that the entertainment industries such as Disney, DC Comics and Marvel helped create propaganda during World War Two that benefited the United States because they felt it was

Operation Iraqi freedom started on March 20th 2003. One of the main reasons for America to go to war was the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001. During a speech by President George W. Bush on January 2002, he stated that Iraq had a connection to the terrorist group al-Qaida and was identified as a “rouge nation”. America reacted by sending in its military to get rid of the Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein. All branches of the military were deployed to participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom, but only one branch stood out amongst the rest for doing noteworthy effects and some damaging effects. This branch of service was the U.S. Marine Corps. The U.S. Marines played a major role in Operation Iraqi Freedom because they fought and won a lot

“The soldiers that served in Vietnam were portrayed as baby killers, psychos, drug addicts and war mongers. It was not an uncommon scene for returning soldiers to be confronted at airports by protesters carrying signs with anti-war slogans,” (Coming Home: A Study in Contrast). Soldiers were called horrible names by many Americans and were not treated well when they returned. They had a very hard time readjusting to everyday life after the war due to society’s attitude and actions towards the veteran. Overall, this did not help soldiers coming back from combat readjust and made this situation worse without accounting for other aspects such as syndrome like post-traumatic stress disorder. Although soldiers nowadays are treated with open arms and are considered heroes, their transition back to everyday life is different. When soldiers return home from combat, they are regularly greeted by family and friends eagerly waiting for them to return and see them for the first time since their deployment. In addition to the warm welcoming, soldiers are given a period of time where they can collect unemployment and slowly make their transition back to everyday life. They also receive help for PTSD and other disorders they might suffer from. Society’s attitude has changed a tremendous amount towards soldiers coming home from war over time and has continued to be better and more helpful
