HOW IT ACTUALLY HELPED AMERICA

Caused our Military to rethink how they fought

wars.

Provided or Military with the motivation to create

new equipment ex. M16 Rifle and Helicopters used

as War Machines.

OPERATION DESERT STORM

Removal of Iraq Forces from Kuwait

US presents in Middle East

Pressure between Middle East and US goes out of

control

Leads up to more wars in later years

DESERT STORM HELPS AMERICA

Showed that an all volunteer military force was

extremely affective.

Showed that the training our soldiers were going

through was appropriate and worth it

AFGHANISTAN

Taliban less of a threat

high level of drug addiction amongst troops

Cost of War high

Afghanistan country destroyed (rebuilding)

FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM IS WORTH IT

Showed that America will not put up with terrorist

attacks.

Helped establish Democracy in a country

terrorized by a Dictator.

WHAT ALL THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE MAIN B OOK

we chose 3 stories from the book and each are

parts of history for America

One who is against war and talks straight peace

One who is fully for the strategies of war

One who likes war and thinks it accomplishes a lot if

done correctly

SUN TZU-ART OF WAR

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general

Art of War = most influential military treatises of

all time

400-320 BCE is when it was wrote

this time known as the Warring States

His tactics are in a lot of US Military planning

today

THE ART OF WAR CONT.

Talks often about deep ways on the essential structure of

human conflict.

Capture and enemy’s army is better than to destroy it

To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill

Worst policy is to attack cities

Those skilled in war subdue the enemy’s army without

battle

This guy talks about using skill rather than muscle

M A R G R E T M E A D - W A R F A R E : A N I N V E N T I O N - - N O T A B I O L O G I C A L N E C E S S I T Y Anthropologist

Believes that people can change by learning from others

cultures

War is inevitable unless we change the social system and

outlaw classes

Believes war is an invention thought up to permit young

boys to accumulate prestige or avenge their honor or

acquire loot or wives

MARGRET MEAD CONT.

Old methods need to be replaced by social

methods

People must recognize the defect of the old

inventions and someone must make a new one

This woman is against the act of war and thinks

peace is something that can be accomplished by just

talking it over basically

J E A N B E T H K E E L S TA I N - -W H AT I S A J U S T WA R ?

Argues that 9/11 attacks were perpetuated by a radical

element whose stated objective was to destroy civic peace

in the United States.

Discuses the appropriate responses to terrorism

Peace should not be universally lauded even as war is

universally condemned, each must be evaluated critically

There are worse things than wars i.e. genocides, gulags

WHAT IS A JUST WAR CONT.

World would have been better off if the violence of

particular regimes had been confronted on the battlefield

earliar; fewer lives would have been lost in the long run

Force deployed in the name of justice has examples that

show that it lead to less violent world

Peace is a good, and so is justice, but neither is an

absolute good

WHAT IS A JUST WAR CONT. AGAIN

All violence is tragic

But more tragic is letting injustice and crime go

unpunished

Organized force fighting under rules of

engagement in order to minimize civilian casualties

can help create safe areas

FAVORITE READOut of the two stories that are against each other I agree more with Jean

Elstain because:

People are stupid and cause others to get mad so yes vengeance happens

War also has good outcomes example:

Revolutionary war (if it didn’t happen we would still be under British

rule)

War leads to a less violent world : just look not a lot of people fight us

because we appear very scary and we play strictly to win

She gets that peace is just not a given it is earned and she agrees that

you shouldn’t enter a war just because or agree to something to avoid a

conflict
