“What do you say, I’ll pay for all the costs, I really need you there with me?”

He looked up at me as I tried to reassure him that he was going to be okay. “Help is on the way.” I could feel the fear in his eyes.

In the aftermath of World War II, every nation of the world emerged mentally and, in some cases, physically altered. The physical affects of the Second World War spanning from Pearl Harbor to the battleground that made up most of Western Europe to Nagasaki and Hiroshima are visual pictures engrained in the minds of all, past and present, but the American ideology that these destructive images helped to give rise to would directly shape American domestic and foreign policy for approximately the next 50 years and indirectly shape the current policies implemented in the United States today. The United States, a world super power, entered World War II in December, 1941. The apprehensive and notably late involvement of the U.S. provided

“What?”. “ I mean why did you want me to stay?” I answered. I just thought you had more left in you, and I think there still is.” he responded as he walked away.

The United States, being both a Pacific and Atlantic power, found itself in the middle of it all and for various cultural, economic, and political reasons, it was hesitant to accept the burdens and responsibilities of international engagement that came along with the tremendous wealth and power they had almost stumbled upon in the twentieth century. At its foundation the United States did not

"Look at you! Are excited to be leaving us?" Daniel asked. His voice became background noise. This was quite possibly happening at the worst time ever. Leaving?

“Thats why were going” she said, already gathering up her supplies for the trip “we’re going to save him.”

The Korean War had major impacts on the autonomy and responsibility of the United States as a nation, as well as the people of America. Many powerful political authorities of the United States, thought not wanting communism to spread, argued that their nation was not allied to South Korea, and therefore had no responsibility of protecting them. On the contrary, other political figures felt that to ensure freedom as a democratic society, the United States had to assure that communism would not dominate in Asia and other foreign lands.

Meanwhile the American citizens were facing the same types of dilemmas, whether they owed allegiance to a foreign country. Their lives were once again in transition, going from living in a peaceful country to living in a country at war. The most obvious change in responsibility would be the military draft. Many American adult males were shipped to the far-east Asian country to put their lives on the line to stop the spread
