Young Soldier Both Revered And Reviled: Article Analysis

The court struck “seven of 11 African-Americans, who traditionally do not support the death penalty, in favor of whites vocalizing strong conservative values” when deciding on the final juror pool (McMichael). This blatant disregard for a neutral jury is shadowed by deeply-rooted racial biases that were present in the south even in its infancy. The fact that this trial was handled so poorly is an affront to America’s justice system and suggests that Brannan’s trial is not the only trial handled in this manner. In another political play, “assistant district attorney Craig Fraser repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of PTSD as a medical diagnosis” and Brannan’s disability pay, leading the jury “to believe that Brannan faked his mental illness after the war to live off hard-working taxpayers” (McMichael). Rather than insult and mock Brannan, a man who fought for the nation even in an unpopular war, the district attorney and other people in power should have reviewed the case through an unbiased, professional lense. The degradation of Brannan not only affected him, but also contributed to harmful notions against PTSD and other mental illnesses, as well as

We Were Soldiers Once and Young is a history book written by LT. GEN. Harold G. Moore (RET.) and Joseph L. Galloway. The history book is based on the Vietnam War, which took place in 1965. The Battle of Ia Drang was said that it was the battle that changed the war in Vietnam. The book is a tribute to all the soldiers in the war and for their great braveness, love, and care for one another. It was a bloody war, but very inspiring to read about the courageous soldiers who put their lives on the line for the United States of America.

It’s a known fact that that the Vietnam War was fought by young American soldiers that bled and died next to one another in the jungles of Vietnam. With many wins and loses throughout the war there were over 58,000 American casualties by wars end. The movie, “We Were Soldiers” focuses on the role of the United State’s 7th Calvary Regiment in the Battle of Ia Drang, which was the first large-unit battle of the Vietnam War. Lt. Col. Hal Moore commanded the 7th Calvary Regiment that landed a helicopter in an area named “X-Ray” located in the Ia Drang Valley of Vietnam. LT. Col.

LTC Moore was the commander of the First Battalion of the Seventh Cavalry, that was the first to engage the enemy in a major conflict. The book does an excellent job illustrating his steadfast courage under fire, and sound use of tactics. Which can be easily argued as one of the key reasons why this engagement is called a battle and not a massacre of U.S. soldiers. Moore constantly anticipated the enemy commander's moves. He concentrated his limited man power, artillery, and air support; exactly where the enemy would attack. As stated before, Joseph Galloway is the co-writer of this book and was the only reporter on the scene during the battle. He literally begged his way onto a helicopter that was doing a return trip to drop off ammunition and other supplies. While there, he not only took some amazing combat photographs, which are illustrated in the book, but also helped tend to the wounded and even picked up a rifle to help hold the line. Moore and Galloway collaborated to write a passionate novel in gripping detail as only people who have witnessed war and their friends dying in front of them could. They have even gone through the trouble of contacting the
