Hungry Joe Of Catch 22
1,548 wordsIt is very difficult for any writer to successfully communicate the true nature of war in a work of literature. However, Slaughter House-5 by Kurt Vonnegut and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller both are triumphant in their attempts to convey that singular experience. Both authors accomplish their undertaking in very analogous styles. Their works run along parallel lines and thus each is quite anti-war. From start to finish, irony is woven into each story, exemplifying the idiocy and folly of military in...

These hidden interests are one of the biggest problems with the political aspects...

This enormous production capacity displayed by the U.S. was the p...

Catch 22
363 wordsCatch-22 portrays the absurdity of war in many events throughout the book. For example, Colonial Cathcart made the squadron go on more missions than they were required to. These missions were basically pointless, and some of the assignments included the bombing of towns that had no industry, enemy bases or value.

First Thought Of The Cold War
1,272 wordsThe Cold War 1944-1990 By Sara Wilson War. The first war I can remember was when my father, Robert Wilson went away to the Persian Gulf War in 1991. When I think of war I think of disagreements and fighting, but I have learned that the Cold War was not really like that.

But despite this the government of Vladimir Putin is still eager to continue the fight to bring a favourable end to the Chechen conflict. In answering th...

Military Draft
1,249 wordsThe military draft is not instituted in America and hasn't been since the Vietnam War. Part of this is due to the fact that the United States hasn't been a very active warring country since then.

This presents an important problem because riding on the decision is just about every male in America's life. This iss...

Opinions Of Military Analysts
605 wordsI selected an article from this past Sunday's Oregonian. As the majority of the articles in the paper are, this commentary is in regards to the "Second Gulf War". Charles Krauthammer gives an excellent and well-educated opinion of the battle plans of the war. He describes the original war plan, or as he refers to it, "Plan A", and how General Franks has done a superb job of adapting the "Plan A" to the level of resistance experienced by our forces in southern Iraq. This is contrary to the opinio...
