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.

At the conclusion of chapter three, Paul tells the story of the day before his deployment. In the story, Paul reveals that he and his friends had jumped Himmelstoss and then beaten him up as retribution for all the torture they had been put through. Paul happily explains all the pain that they inflicted on Himmelstoss from Tjaden whipping him to Haie hitting Himmelstoss repeatedly in the face. Personally, I believe that the attack was justified because you should always treat people with respect and dignity or they will treat you without what you believe you deserve. Himmelstoss’s failure to show decency to his subordinates led to Himmelstoss being attacked, so, in a way, Himmelstoss

On March 29, 1973, the last combat of the US troops finally left southern Vietnam. Four years had elapsed since the start of withdrawing operation by the US battalion from Vietnam. Approximately 2.5 million Americans soldiers among them officers, counselors, nurses, physicians and other units of personnel 's in the US served in the Vietnam warfare. It was time to return home though the warfare was ending; its effect was still clear in the minds of the veterans (Barry et.al, 2009).

Vice President was sent to Vietnam to observe and when he returned he urged Kennedy to get involved. Kennedy sent over advisors and special forces to train the ARVN, upon return the advisors reported the AVRN was not equipped to win the war and the situation was becoming worse. The real “American” involvement in the Vietnam War happened when “an unexpected development in August 1964 altered that timetable. US involvement escalated when Congress passed the Gulf of Tokin Resolution. On August 2 the destroyer USS Maddox was attacked by North Vietnamese torpedo boats while on electronic surveillance patrol in the Gulf of Tonkin”(Encyclopedia Britanica).

Once you read this you may ask how I look at myself in the mirror every day. Well, it's easy - it's what you would call duplicity. The separation of my conscious; my Jekyll and my Hyde. You may question the balance of the two - could the Coral Island and the Lord of the Flies really coexist? Darkness dwells and manipulates itself within each man, however I was completely unaware of my true darkness until…

The Vietnam War: Just the Facts The war in Vietnam was an extremely controversial war, involving a wide range of ideas and opinions surrounding its importance and validity. The purpose of this war was to contain Communism in Asia and prevent in from spreading to Western culture. Many Americans were in agreement with this idea and believed that bringing the evils of Communism down was imperative. However, a larger group, the anti-war movement, were completely opposed to American intervention in Vietnam and thought it was wrong to send troops there.

The Vietnam War began, because of Indochina (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) being conquered by the Japanese, in 1941. This led to the creation of the Vietnamese nationalist movement, formed by Ho Chi Minh to resist the Japanese. The Vietnamese national movement also known as the Vietminh, was a communist front organization. To stop the spread of communism through Asia, the United States intervened. The war lasted for 19-20 years, and involved countries such as South Vietnam, North Vietnam, United States, South Korea, Australia, Philippines, New Zealand, Thailand, Khmer Republic, Laos and the Republic of China. The war was known as a guerrilla war, which meant the use of tactics such as ambush, sabotage and petty warfare. Guerrilla warfare is a very unconventional style of warfare. It is when small groups of soldiers use stealthy tactics to inflict damage on the target. The casualties suffered by both sides were immense however, the Communists had the upper hand throughout the majority of the war. Not only was it their home turf, they also had the support of a large percentage of the civilian population. The effective use of guerrilla tactics by the Viet Cong played a very important role on the outcome of the war, and is also the primary reason why the United States lost. The following essay will outline the reasons why the guerrilla tactics used by the Viet Cong played a very important role on the outcome of the Vietnam War. The first paragraph will

The Montagnard had suffer the same consequent as the Native American, the conquer of the land, according to the Degar Foundation “In this way, we have suffered a fate similar to the Native Americans, Australian aboriginals, African Bushmen and other original inhabitants subjected to invasion and exploitation by outsiders.” The same way as the Vietnamese is taking over the land, but the solution in taking back the land is far too risky, due to the fact that; the Montagnard population is dropping. It was once over 3 million during French colonialism, today the race has dwindle to only a few thousand. As the tension between the Montagnard and Vietnam grow the safer place to be is in Cambodia and the neighbor countries.

It seems as if the united states are always fighting a battle whether it is overseas or within its own borders. The citizens were not ready for what the 1970’s was going to bring, socially, economically, and religiously. Jim Jones was going to bring peace and relief to these people in the most tragic way possible. With brain washing, manipulation, and isolation Jones convinced hundreds of people to commit suicide. The Peoples’ Temple religious movement was one of the many going on during the 1970’s.

The United States direct involvement in the war started in 1964 and extended through 1973 but its indirect involvement started much earlier.

As the Soviet Union expanded their influence over Eastern Europe in countries including Bulgaria, East Germany, and China turned to communism and the United States grew concerned with the expansion of communism and its potential impact on the democratic nations of the world. Similarly the Soviet Union was concerned with the economic and military strength of the United
