Syrian war cannot be won by generating wishful maps- A dismal and pathetic US...
The document criticizes the US war in Syria on several grounds:
1) The war was poorly conceived and planned by bureaucrats in Washington DC who lacked strategic insight and had never studied Clausewitz's principles of war.
2) President Obama and his advisors did not understand that the enemy has an independent will and could not be forced to conform to US plans.
3) The war was waged based on utopian assumptions without properly considering Syria's military history and terrain.
4) Maps produced by organizations like the Institute for the Study of War presented a falsely optimistic picture of the situation on the ground and progress of US proxies in Syria.
E portfolio presentation
The document discusses the human toll of the Vietnam War. It notes that over 54,000 American soldiers were killed and over 300,000 injured out of the 2.59 million who served. Many deaths after the war were also linked to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, with studies finding around 30% of male and 27% of female Vietnam veterans showed signs of PTSD. The costs of treating PTSD in veterans remain high. Overall, the document argues that it was not worth the loss of American lives to oppose communist rule in Vietnam through war.

Civil war
The document summarizes the author's visit to the Frazier Art Museum's Civil War exhibit. The exhibit contained many artifacts from the war, including weapons, clothing, letters, and family photos. It also provided information about how the war impacted states like Kentucky and tore families apart. The author learned that the South was greatly outnumbered and under-equipped in their fight against the North.

The US Mobilizes for War
The document discusses various perspectives on mobilization for war in the United States during World War II. It includes quotes that suggest the gentleman speaking in the cartoon would have been unpopular with African Americans, as one quote questions why African Americans should fight for democracy abroad when they do not have it at home, and another says he would rather have "here lies a black man killed fighting a yellow man for the protection of a white man" carved on his tombstone. The document also mentions A. Philip Randolph, who advocated for African American rights.

War and Conflict
This document discusses the impact of images from conflicts and disasters in broadcast news. It notes that while some images rally support for causes like World War II, many Americans find death disturbing to see. A famous photo from the Vietnam War brought home its horrors by showing a young girl burned by napalm. The document also references impactful images from events like the Oklahoma City bombing, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina, while acknowledging that some newspapers chose not to publish the most graphic photos. It concludes by noting that war is glorified from a distance but seeing its true consequences, like the stress of taking a life, can provide needed perspective.

1) The document discusses the term "peculiar institution" which was used by Southern intellectuals to refer to slavery, demonstrating some unease with the institution.
2) It argues that Northerners were also racist, as shown by their doubts about how well-educated former slave Frederick Douglass could be rather than questioning if blacks had the same intellectual capabilities as whites.
3) Douglass was arguably more effective in influencing the status of African Americans a century later during the civil rights movement rather than during his own time, due to the pervasive racism even among Northern abolitionists.

The document discusses the effects of the Vietnam War on American society and culture from the 1950s-1970s. It describes the US belief in manifest destiny and exceptionalism that led to the mistreatment of native Americans and domination of other countries. The Monroe Doctrine established US control over the Americas. Facing communist threats, the US entered the Vietnam War using brutal weapons like napalm and agent orange. Mass protests at home divided the country and led to the US withdrawal from Vietnam by 1973. The war traumatized American culture and was reflected in many novels, films, and personal accounts in the following decades.

The Civil War in the Age of Civil Rights
This document summarizes the changing narratives around the causes and outcomes of the American Civil War over time. It discusses how the South initially seceded to protect slavery, while the North fought to preserve the Union. After the Emancipation Proclamation, the goal of freeing slaves became more central to the North's efforts. However, after Reconstruction ended, the dominant view in the South was the "Lost Cause" narrative that portrayed the war as being over states' rights rather than slavery. This narrative was increasingly challenged in the 20th century by the Civil Rights Movement.
The American Civil War
The American Civil War was fought between the Northern and Southern states from 1861 to 1865. Some key events included the First Battle of Bull Run, the Emancipation Proclamation, the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863, Sherman's March to the Sea in 1864, and Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse in 1865, effectively ending the war. The war was devastating, resulting in high casualties before the South ultimately lost and slavery was abolished.
Causes of the civil war
The document traces the events leading up to the American Civil War, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision of 1857, and Lincoln's election in 1860 which prompted Southern states to secede. It discusses the political, economic, and cultural divisions between the North and South around the issue of slavery that ultimately led to the outbreak of the Civil War following the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861.
Homefront during WWII
The document discusses how the US mobilized its economy and manpower for World War II. It describes how the US drafted soldiers and mobilized workers, including minorities and women. The gentleman in the cartoon likely would have been unpopular with agreements that did not fully mobilize American resources and people for the war effort.
My lai & end of vietnam war
The document summarizes the My Lai massacre that occurred during the Vietnam War. Over 500 Vietnamese civilians were killed by U.S. soldiers over the course of 3 hours. While the massacre was initially covered up, an investigation was later launched after a veteran sent a letter to Congress about the events. Lieutenant William Calley was ultimately the only soldier convicted for the killings, receiving a life sentence though he only served 3 years under house arrest. The massacre increased public opposition to the war and demonstrated the brutality that could occur amid incorrect intelligence and low troop morale.
My Lai Massacre
On March 16, 1968, US troops massacred over 500 Vietnamese civilians in the village of My Lai during a search for enemy fighters. Troops rounded up and killed civilians, including women, children, and animals, through shooting, grenades, and bayonets. The massacre was successfully covered up for 18 months until reports surfaced in late 1969. Twenty-six soldiers were later charged with war crimes for their role, though only Lieutenant William Calley Jr. was convicted of murder for directly killing over 100 civilians himself. The massacre reduced US support for the Vietnam War and prompted widespread international outrage.

African Americans in the Civil War
1) African American soldiers proved themselves worthy of citizenship by fighting for the United States in the Civil War, according to Frederick Douglass and others.
2) However, some Confederate generals, like Sherman, were skeptical of African Americans' ability to perform complex battlefield roles besides direct combat.
3) By late in the war, the Union had embraced arming African Americans as a powerful way to undermine the Confederacy and weaken them by thousands of potential soldiers.
Gone with the Wind: High Water Mark of the Lost Cause
The document discusses Gone with the Wind, both the novel and the film adaptation. It summarizes that the novel was a best-selling Pulitzer Prize winner, while the film was pioneering in its use of Technicolor and remains the highest-grossing film of all time adjusted for inflation. Though the film moderated some of the novel's racism, it still presented a benign view of slavery and retained some stereotypical portrayals of black characters. The film also reinforced the Lost Cause myth of the honorable South.
Southern Honor
Southern honor had three interrelated components according to Bertram Wyatt-Brown's book Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old South. First, honor involved an inner conviction of self-worth. Second, it required publicly claiming that self-assessment. Third, honor depended on the public's assessment of one's behavior and whether it matched one's claim. Thus, honor combined internal self-regard with external evaluation by one's community. It served as an ethical guide for how individuals located themselves within the social hierarchy.
Journey to Gettysburg
The document summarizes key Civil War battles from 1861 to 1863 that led up to the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. It describes Confederate victories such as Bull Run and Fredericksburg for the Union, as well as significant battles like Shiloh, Antietam, and Chancellorsville. It concludes by noting that in June 1863, Robert E. Lee began marching his Confederate army into Pennsylvania towards Gettysburg.
Four Major Interpretive Tradition of the American Civil War
The document outlines four interpretive traditions of the American Civil War:
1) The Lost Cause tradition romanticizes the Old South and portrays secession and the Confederacy in a positive light.
2) The Union Cause tradition views the Union as the last hope for democracy and sees the war as necessary to preserve the United States.
3) The Emancipation Cause focuses on the emancipation of four million slaves as a result of the war.
4) The Reconciliation Cause downplays emancipation and celebrates the Blue and Gray armies together after the war ended with the capitulation of the Confederacy to the Lost Cause interpretation.
Still Fighting the Civil War
Americans still debate key issues from the Civil War, including:
1) What was the war about and what did soldiers fight for? Was it about states' rights or slavery?
2) Which side can claim the moral high ground?
3) Did the ends justify the means used by either side?
4) Which side was more racist?
The document provides examples of continuing divisions over symbols and interpretations of the Civil War such as protests at the Lincoln Memorial dedication and debates over textbooks and monuments.

Puritan Essentials
This document provides an overview of the Puritans who settled in New England in the early 1600s. It discusses the Separatists who arrived on the Mayflower and settled Plymouth and the non-separating Puritans who arrived on the Arbella and established the Massachusetts Bay colony. The basic theology of the Puritans is outlined, focusing on concepts like total depravity and unconditional election. Key passages from John Winthrop's sermon "A Modell of Christian Charitie" are analyzed, including his arguments for why God created inequality and his vision of Christians united by "the bond of perfection" of love for one another.
Elements of Journalism, Chap 1
This document discusses the purpose and importance of journalism in a democratic society. It asserts that journalism is meant to provide citizens with information to allow them to be self-governing. However, it notes threats currently facing journalism from the internet, shifts in consumer behavior, government influence, corporate conglomerations, and journalistic arrogance. It outlines Walter Lippmann's view of the public as ignorant and in need of an elite press to filter information, and John Dewey's counter perspective of the public being capable of self-realization with reliable journalism. The document proposes the theory of an "interlocking public" to reframe the relationship between journalists and the people.
