Media Transformations: Can media help win – or lose – a war? Answer through detailed discussion of coverage in one war since 1945. Introduction: The Vietnam War could be characterized as one of the most controversial incident in America’s history. United States acted paradoxically; they claimed that they protected democracy, they raised an oppressive dictatorial regime in the area of South Vietnam and later the US army was destroying villages in order to protect them (Wiest, 2002).

The military has become the epicenter for rape and abuse of women, all of which military officials have swept aside with all too little concern. Case after case of rape and sexual harassment are dismissed with little to no investigation made. The women of the military live scared of their male superiors and colleagues, and what they might do.

straight into the South tower of the World Trade Center, eighteen minutes later. But not only was New York the only affected place by the devastation, Washington, D.C was also struck by a plane at 9:45 a.m., a plane went right into the west side of the pentagon. At that precise moment, it was clear that the United States was under attack (9/11 Attacks).

One was meant for the White House, one was meant for the Pentagon and the other two were meant for the twin tower which fell and many lives were lost. However some say it was not terrorists and that it was the United States government and that the government set a bomb and that they had several motives to do this. When 9/11 occurred it was everywhere within minutes

The problem of IED attacks in Iraq highlights the need for better protection of U.S. forces. The IED emerged as a “weapon of choice” by 2003 and evolved as the war progressed.1 As up-armored Humvees proved inadequate, field commanders requested more armor for troop protection and decided on mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles as the best option. Due to limited funds and the Department of Defense (DoD) approach for fielding capabilities, acquisition of MRAPs proved to be a prolonged process
