War Is Harsh: The Vietnam War

The first reason I will not re-enlist is all the bad conditions. I am sick because of the poor/nasty cookery. I am out of humor, all the men are! All of the 12 men in my hut are getting more sick with the smoke from the fire. On December 21, I heard a general yell “No meat!” “No

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.

Victory does not come cheap. The soldiers who joined Washington in Valley Forge in December of 1777 learned that very quickly. While we camp here for the winter, we endure very harsh conditions. Many soldiers leave once their terms come to an end, and some even desert before then. Though some decide to stick it out and reenlist. The question is: which group will I join once my term is up? My response is that I will stay and fight for my country. There are three main reasons that I have come to this conclusion; The army is in need of people, I do not want to spread sickness to my family, and we are fighting for our freedom.

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.

From the winter of 1777 to 1778 Valley Forge was in very harsh weather conditions. During this time we took command with George Washington and after a while war started. Some interesting facts are that in 1773, 310 street lights were installed. In 1783, the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War, and in 1782 the writing of the Constitution was in progress. I have decided not to re-enlist for these three reasons which are, sickness, conditions and clothing, and congress/ leadership.

The reason I will not re-enlist is so many are sick. The main sickness is smallpox, a deadly disease that many soldiers have. If you have it you will get blisters that are filled with pus and they cover your whole body.

I will not be re-enlisting because in document A the document shows us how everyone is becoming sick, and is beginning to die. In doc A the table shows us the estimated amount of sick people, in december it was 2,900 and in february it was 4,000.Because of the amount of sickness and rate of death being about 15% i will

In late December of 1777, the Continental Army under the command of George Washington set up an encampment called Valley Forge. Valley Forge was a military camp 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia where the Continental Army spent the winter of 1777-78 during the American Revolution. If I were a soldier during that time, I would’ve re-enlisted. I would do this for one reason, courage. First, soldiers had a better chance of surviving than dying. In December when they first arrived, they had 12,000 men. By February 1778, they had 8,000 men, meaning that 4,000 left. Out of the 8,000 that stayed, close to 50% of them got sick with a disease called smallpox (3,989 to be exact). Out of the 3,989 that were sick, only about 2,000 of them died. So I could

leaving or staying.If I a soldier in the Continental Army I would’ve quit.The death toll was to high.

This is the worst winter ever. It is winter in Philadelphia, 1777 to 1778 and you are at Valley Forge in miserable brutal conditions. If you were at Valley Forge would you have re-enlisted or gone home? If I was at Valley Forge I would not have re-enlisted because of the harsh conditions and not being supported, lack of supplies, and death and illness.

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 Warring States period lasted from 1467 to 1567 although the wars and confusion of the age was not completely dealt with. The name is drawn from a similar period of civil war in China. It saw the breakdown of central authority, and an extended period of wars between hundreds of local men. The end saw the emergence of new methods of authority which were finally able to achieve a moderate degree of political centralization and, to everyone’s relief and satisfaction, peace. Strictly defined, the period began in 1467 with the outbreak of the Onin War and lasted until 1567 when Oda Nobunaga took over. During this century, the authority of the Muromachi shogunate, slowly disappeared. A shogunal dispute provided the excuse for

The Vietnam War started on November 1, 1955. 9,087,000 military personnel served on active duty during the Vietnam Era. Those that went into the war zone suffered, not only from wounds but also from a variety of jungle diseases and malnutrition. One of the few sources of clean water came from water purification tanks at Vietnamese refugee camps.Preventive medicine teams worked to control rodent and insect infestations, spray for malarial mosquitoes, and purify unclean water.

The Vietnam War was a brutal internal conflict between North and South Vietnam over the North 's attempt to spread communism. Taking place between 1961 and 1975, it became America 's second longest war. This battle destroyed countless villages, farmlands, forests, and neighboring countries of Vietnam. It took the lives of about two million Vietnamese soldiers and civilians, and over fifty-eight thousand American soldiers. In an effort to cease the spread of communism, many American troops were sent over by President John F. Kennedy to aid the South Vietnamese army. The U.S. provided South Vietnam and neighboring Southeast Asian countries with military supplies, combat troops, and economic aid. The controversy of U.S. participation in

The Vietnam War was one of the longest and most complex wars our country has ever taken part. One of the argument we had to do with the nature of the war, with some speakers arguing that it was actually a irregular war, and others disagreed, saying that it was a regular war. You talk to people who served in Vietnam, you get a bigger of views of the war and the enemy they were engaged in fighting, and that will be because some were engaged in fighting in one area, some up in the north near the demilitarized zone, where the nature of the war was, and others who might have found themselves in the Mekong Delta, where for most of the time the war was more of a irregular. Then, some who served in the early period will have one experience, while some
