insight on the Vietnam War and answered my countless questions. He invited me to join a round table conference at Barrington High School to talk about the Vietnam War with other history teachers and students. The conference shed a lot of light on the culture of the 1960s and 1970s and how people who lived through it were affected. The man in charge of the conference spoke about how he was a junior in high school at the tail end of the war. He was planning to enlist as soon as he graduated to try…

Today’s society displays the U.S. Armed Forces such as a brave and courageous seeking career to have. All the twenty first century commercials picture these careers for all kinds of people, the strong or smart and that everyone can join with their different skills. There are many reasons why people join the U.S. Armed Forces, these are educational opportunities, pay and benefits, full medical care for the soldier and their family, and lastly Patriotism. As a result Patriotism is one of the…

The Signal Corps played a vital role during the Korean and Cold Wars from 1946-1964. Significant advances during this period include the AN/GRC-26 mobile radio teletype station, the emergence of satellite communications, and the transistor. The end of World War II led to a drawdown and reorganization of not only the Signal Corps, but the entire Armed Forces. This led to the obstacle of doing “more with less.” The five Chief Signal Officers during this timeframe experienced unique challenges. The…

The Ignored North Korean Genocide The genocide in North Korea has been happening for decades, evidence of these camps has been traced back to the end of the Korean War in the 1950’s. Ever since the first reports of these labor camps, the U.N has done little to nothing to stop them as well as the death happening inside of them and that is why the genocide in North Korea is being ignored by the rest of the world.

The Korean War was an avoidable war that we didn’t need to intervene in. The Domino effect was still an acceptable cause to go to war. It was the thought that if one country’s government fell to communism, then more would follow in its path. We had a tough time fighting them though, because of physical geography. That’s most of the reason we didn’t win the war, we weren’t ready for the terrain. The battle of pork chop hill was one of the most important battles. Being in the mountain’s it…

Welcome! Welcome to the Virtual War Memorial Museum. Here, you can find stories of veterans from WWII and Vietnam. War often creates traumatic memories that can dramatically change a person’s life, but coming home can be just as tragic as on the battlefield. While WWII soldiers received a hero’s welcome, soldiers from Vietnam weren’t so lucky, being seen as monster in the public eye. Nevertheless, I am grateful for all of the veterans who have served and protected our country, and to those…

Geographically the countries were located next and under China and Russia, therefore it was not wrong to stay cautious and be concerned of the “sphere of communism” spreading into the countries like a domino effect. However, during the Vietnam War, Korean War and Operation Menu the U.S did use bombs as their ultimate weapon in the battle of “hearts and mind". Through these actions, the U.S. was not consistent with freedom, as well as democracy. Maintaining the containment to these…

other. During the Cold War, the two examples of proxy wars are the Korean and Vietnam wars. The Korean War began in 1950, when North Korean surprise attack on South Korea.

In the United States one of the big factors as to the reason America become involved the the Korean war was due to the Truman Doctrine. President Truman being fearful of the spread of communism created the Truman Doctrine. To guarantee that the U.S would support countries fighting against communism. This affected America negatively since they need to support South Korea in fighting the North. Which left the American economy in worse shape then it was. As president Truman need to increase…

States would have likely got involved. This is a good example of a conflict with limited involvement by the United States. For a more current and rising threat this essay will look at ISIS since it has now become the biggest terrorist threat that faces the United States and has the most potential to grow. They have control over a large territory that stretches across the border of Syria and Iraq and has over 30,000 fighters with military capabilities (Cronin, 2015). It has gained enough power…
