Women were to stay at home and wait for their husbands to come home, welcoming them with open arms and more love than before. When they did not return, women would hold their composure, and celebrate their soldier's life. Women were to shield their eyes from the death and destruction and trust their heroes on the battlefield. One soldier, Tim O’Brien, left his mother to fight the Vietnam war in the summer

Moral Ambiguity Essay The character Richie Perry, who is the narrator of the novel Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers and a young soldier in the Vietnam War is morally ambiguous, because at the beginning of the War he is unable to shot at the enemy - the Vietcongs, but at the end he kills them too.

chosen to write about are ”Hero of War” by Rise Against, “Dulce et decorum est” by Wilfred Owen, “Who's for the Game?” by Jessie Pope and “High flight” by John Gillespie Magee Jr. All of these portray brotherhood amongst soldiers and two of these texts “Dulce et decorum est” and “hero of war” both display trauma and psychological damage to soldiers.

The poems The Stage, written by Avenged Sevenfold, and War Is Never Over, written by Cecil L. Harrison, both suggest that life is a war disguised by a curtain of innocence.

War history has had its heroes, its thinkers and strategists who by means of their abilities moved martial arts ahead and have influenced the course of history. One of the greatest strategists of the 19th century was Helmut von Moltke, a German Field Marshal. Moltke was the Chief of General staff of the Prussian Army for three decades (1857 – 1887) and is considered the creator of modern methods of warfare.

prostitutes. This corruption of women in Krebs mind remains, but he still thinks about them frequently. He states, “That was all a lie. It was a lie both ways.”, this demonstrates how, like many other facets of home life, was disenchanted by his service in war. Ernest uses repetition to demonstrate the revision of thought. For Norman, he only wishes he could’ve had what he almost had before he went away. His old sweetheart, Sally did not wait for him and, “...had her house and her new husband, and there was
