The Korean War was a proxy war fought between the United States and the USSR, for the purpose of gaining power and political influence in other parts of the world. Since the end of WWII, the USSR and the United States became very hostile against one another, creating what came to be called “The Cold War“ coined by Bernard Baruch in 1947 from the lack of there ever being direct battles against one another. From the result of the bitter and cold rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union came a large chain of indirect battling over political influence in developing or war-torn countries. As this feud occurred the people of the United States mainly wanted there to be a change in Korea out of this war [Doc E], but what was occurring

Alia Wong authored an article for The Atlantic concerning a loophole in legislation concerning government funding of tuition that encourages for-profit institutions to aggressively recruit students using military educational benefits. Since 1998, the government has kept for-profit colleges from completely relying on federal funds for their tuition. This revenue, collected in the form of need-based aid, such as grants and loans, cannot exceed 90 percent of the school’s tuition income. Veterans’ education benefits are not included in this category, so it’s very lucrative for these colleges to actively pursue active duty service members for their military-funded tuition assistance (TA), and veterans and their family members for their education
The Greatest Generation, is an astonishing book written by Tom Brokaw. The “Greatest Generation” is based on children who grew up during this generation while the Deep Depression was going on and who became adults during World War 2. There are strong reasons as to why Tom Brokaw considerers this generation great. The children, adults, and seniors all took part of making the generation great, most kids and teens and adults took an initiative of putting their own life aside to fight in the war, this generation had to be the be the greatest, by far. I state this, because this generation was forced to go through so many life changing events like the Great Depression, then had to face War for six years.
It also mentions how North Korea betrayed the other countries by saying there would be a peace between them but instead they were planning the war. This evidence demonstrates how even though The United States was invaded, they did not use the atomic bomb. Truman had every right to use the atomic bomb and put North Korea to their place, but he decided not to because he knew the consequences there would be for the people. It was the right choice not to drop the bomb because it would have begun a nuclear
Korea’s history already determined it was a weak country, having been a pawn for Far Eastern powers, so Cold War had left it nearly destroyed with epidemics, poverty, limited education, and authoritarian rulers (LaFeber, 2008). In this state, Korea was left vulnerable to communism. In 1945, the 38th parallel marked the ally agreement of disarming the occupying Japanese military, however by the end of the Korean War, it would be the indivisible line that divided the country between communism and democracy (LaFeber, 2008). In June 1950, when North Korean troops passed the 38th parallel, President Truman gave the order for American air and naval units to move into action to aid South Korea and to show the United States’ opponents that “the United States was no longer content with mere “containment” but now aimed for liberation (LaFeber, 2008, p. 114). LaFeber (2008) explains President Truman’s intent, “
The rising tensions between the United States and North Korea are at an all-time high, it is no news that at any second a full-scale war between these two nations could break out. The consequences of such a war are the endangerment of the lives of millions of people in multiple nations. Nicholas Kristof’s opinion piece “Inside North Korea, and Feeling the Drums of War,” published in the New York Times Sunday Review, serves as an emotional overload purposely written to warn the audience of just how tense the relations between these two Nations have become, as well as the reality of a possible catastrophic conflict between them if concessions are not drawn to ease tensions. Kristof adopts an urgent tone in his article that he uses to stir up
Politicians call for missile defense projects. Many defense projects have failed and cost not only the government but taxpayers over 50 billion dollars. Lee Fang, a writer for The Intercept, shows how ineffective these programs have been in the past. The persuasiveness of Lee's argument in his article “Politicians Use North Korea H-Bomb Fears to Pitch Wasteful Missile Defense Projects” is based on a logical approach using facts, (logos), an emotion approach trying to rally us up (pathos), and on his credibility and the creditability of his sources (ethos). Lee's appeal to our logical (logos) side is based on facts.
Showing that with this military operation to stop communism have cost them so much money and they are not gaining any grown over the North Korean military. In the end, the outcome of this war was not of any good, sated by (Campbell) " After three years of grinding destruction, both sides were forced to settle for essentially the status quo ante bellum". Meaning it was the same as it was when the war has not even started in several years ago. Making the Unites states think about reducing its military spending due to the fact that they have contributed so much money to something and it turned out the same as when it has started.
At its outset, South Korea had asked the United States to supply
The only way to make such lies believable was to isolate the country from the rest of the world (preventing the citizens from being exposed to other sources of information) and to purge brutally all those who could possibly challenge the new deity’s mythology. (Saxonberg, 119). North Korean propaganda states that policy (and all wisdom) radiates from Kim. North Korea’s press continually repeats that both Kims are benevolent father figures “sagaciously” guiding their flock. (McEachern,
North Koreans can’t have international calls or any contact with the people outside the country (Doe). The only opinion that’s permitted to be heard is the governments, and the people must trust it regardless of what (Doe). In conclusion, North Korea is a nation in which a wide range of media including TV, and webs are controlled. Human rights are continuously being disregarded, along these North Koreans government is untamed, brutal, and unreasonable.
