...issues of the war. At the time of the war it was commonplace for the military leaders to embed their troops in entrenchments that were nearly impossible to infiltrate. They would then rush their men towards each other in a bloody battle. General Sherman realized that attacking the entrenchments of the enemy was fruitless and killed too many soldiers. He went on a path of flanking maneuvers that helped get around these entrenched soldiers. He followed up this plan by attacking the economy of the South and breaking their resolve. The importance of his new plan can be seen on how his tactics of attacking the land and economy, instead of other human beings, and avoiding head-on confrontation actually saved lives for both the Union and Confederate armies. The march from Atlanta to Savannah has taken on a life of its own for historians today. The campaign’s impact has been over-emphasized by his contemporaries on both sides of the war creating a war hero or war tyrant depending on which side was describing his march. One of the reasons Sherman decided to avoid frontal confrontation with the...

...INFORMATION PAPER ATSJ-BTB 23 JULY 2013 SUBJECT: Summary of the Army White Paper: A Profession of Arms 1. Purpose: To summarize the Army White Paper: A Profession of Arms and capture the thesis, main points, and objective of the writer. 2. Facts: a. The author notes the purpose of his writing in the beginning prologue, “This White Paper serves to facilitate an Army-wide dialog about our Profession of Arms. It is neither definitive nor authoritative, but a starting point with which to begin discussion.” He alludes to future refinement of the paper once TRADOC receives feedback from the Army community. b. Organized into five sections, A Profession of Arms begins by defining “Profession” and its implications to the Army. The paper then delves into the Army’s “Professional Culture,” before discussing the effects of “Army Ethics” in developing that culture. Lastly, it analyzes the role of U.S. society in the development of Army ethics and culture. The paper concludes with possible future changes in the meaning “Profession of Arms” after a decade of war and a request to begin a community dialogue on this topic. c. To start the discussion, the author defines Profession when he states, “Professions produce uniquely expert work, not routine or repetitive work.” He continues by describing truly expert work as taking years of study and practice. The writer transitions into how the Army is an “American Profession of Arms, a vocation comprised of experts...

...Zitkala-Sa’s political activism is not directly addressed in her writings, but her beliefs about her people’s right to fair treatment frame her narrative as she portrays the victimization and suffering of Indians at the hands of the white “invaders.” To understand Zitkala-Sa, I want to understand the relationship between her activism, her public identity and her self-identity. That focus led me to the primary source that I chose: a newspaper clipping which gives a glimpse of one aspect of the work she did advocating Indian rights. Published in The Indian School Journal, the October 1918 article, titled “Indian Wife of Army Officer Fights for Race,” chronicles her speech to the National Arts Club about Indian citizenship and about legislation...

...WRITING STYLE GUIDE AND PREFERRED USAGE FOR DoD ISSUANCES 1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES. Write DoD issuances clearly and concisely, applying the following general principles of effective writing. a. When drafting your document, use an outline. This will help you organize your issuance and keep it focused and on track. b. Use short, simple words. Limit sentences to one thought and keep them brief (an average of 20 or fewer words). c. Use the correct words. (See Appendix 1 for a glossary of preferred usage and Appendix 2 for a list of hyphenated modifiers used in DoD issuances.) d. Write in the active versus passive voice; name an actor with the action being taken immediately after the noun. (See Figure 1 for characteristics and examples.) e. Use parallel construction (the same grammatical structure for similar or related ideas). (See Figure 2 for examples.) f. Avoid long, rambling paragraphs. If a paragraph’s longer than 20 lines, it should probably be restructured to include subparagraphs. g. Organize the material. Where the issuance templates don’t provide a specific structure, organize sections, enclosures, and appendixes so that earlier paragraphs serve to make later paragraphs clear. When possible, use paragraph headings to highlight important concepts so the reader can see at a glance what the paragraph’s about. Figure 1.

...Contemplation: Islam and the Crusades, the main focus is on the relationship between Muslims and Christians in the East after the Christians capture Jerusalem. After the capture of Jerusalem, the east was basically a hot zone wherever Muslim and Christian armies were set up. Although there were multiple crusades after the capture of Jerusalem, crusaders from past crusades stayed back in the crusader states for many reasons. Some did not have anything back in the west to go back to. Others wanted to start a new life in the crusade states or even spread the Christian word wherever it may take them. Although there were some instances of peace, most of the west was stained by war and carnage. Usama writes about an encounter with Tancred of Antioch on page seventy-seven. After a year’s truce between Muslim armies and Tancred’s Antioch, Tancred set out for battle against a Muslim army. He told the story of Hasanun watching his brother in cavalry, Kamil, fight in battle. Hasanun was beginning to get impatient while watching Kamil drive his spear into the bodies of Christian infantry. After waiting for his armor to arrive for quite some time, he decided to go ahead without armor. Not long after he charged into battle, he was captured by Tancred’s army. Usama soon began to explain that although Hasanun did surrender, he was tortured in a variety of ways. He did not explain all of them, but he did mention that Tancred wanted them to cut out his right eye specifically so he would not be able to see...

...Jersey. The opening lines of this are still the most quoted lines of Paine. He wrote that all Americans must continue, must hurt, he wrote, for all history is awaiting the result of the battle. “These are the times that try men’s souls…” is his most quoted work. Thomas Paine’s first Crisis was the most dramatic of course. At this time Paine had gone to New Jersey after the signing of the Declaration of independence, which he believed was the fulfillment of his plea in Common Sense for total independence. Thomas Paine went to Fort Lee where Washington’s army sat defeated and tired. He lived with these men, spoke to them and begged them not to give up. An army that was of twenty thousand men at the beginning, now only consisted of a few hundred who were just resigned and tired. That is when Thomas Paine wrote his first American Crisis. Washington was immensely moved by this piece and he instructed that it was to be read out loud to the army. This was sold as a pamphlet and memorized by thousands. Although some of his later Crisis Papers had much less impact, his first one had an astounding effect on the fighters for independence and the revolution came to an end later in...

...the events of the first major battle of the Vietnam War. The battle took place in the Ia Drang Valley between November 14 and November 18, 1965 at two landing zones northwest of Plei Me in the central Highlands of South Vietnam (approximately 35 miles south-west of Pleiku). The battle derives its name from the Drang River which runs through the valley northwest of Plei Me, in which the engagement took place. "Ia" means "river" in the local Montagnard language. The battle was fought between the US 7'th Cavalry's newly established Air Mobile forces and a mixture of Viet-Cong guerilla's and highly trained North Vietnam Army troops. General Moore was a Lieutenant Colonel at the time of this battle and commanded the 1'st Battalion 7'th Cavalry forces. The opposition was lead by General Nguyen Huu An who commanded elements of the 304'th Division of the PAVN (People's Army Vietnam) and the Viet Cong. The battle is described in great detail by Lt. General Moore(Ret.) who wrote the book...

These processing problems can interfere with learning basic skills such as reading, writing and/or math. They can also interfere with higher level skills such as organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, long or short term memory and attention. It is important to realize that learning disabilities can affect an individual’s life beyond academics and can impact relationships with family, friends and in the workplace. Learning disabilities should not be confused with learning problems which are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor handicaps; of mental retardation; of emotional disturbance; or of environmental, cultural or economic disadvantages. Generally speaking, people with learning disabilities are of average or above average intelligence. There often appears to be a gap between the individual’s potential...

...Hewitt. A contemporary of Beethoven, Hewitt was born and raised in England until moving to New York in 1792 at the age of 22. Throughout his career, James Hewitt was very active in both Boston and New York as a conductor, composer/arranger and music publisher. The story behind Hewitt’s sonata unfolded in Trenton, New Jersey on December 25th 1776 as President Washington led his Army across the Delaware River, preceding The Battle of Trenton that occurred the next day. Although a large number of the opposing Hessians escaped, within an hour of battle nearly nine hundred were captured by Washington’s Army. This was the first pivotal victory of the American Revolutionary War, boosting reenlistments into the Continental Army. Twenty years after this event, James Hewitt published his sonata in 1797 after living as an American citizen for just over five years. The Sonata is written using numerous titled sections that correspond with the historical event: “Army in Motion”, “General Orders”, “Washington’s March”, “Defeat of Hessians”, “Yankee Doodle”, and “General Rejoicing”. Essentially, the composers goal whilst writing a military sonata was to recreate the event with music as best as possible. With regards to tempo markings and tonality, Hewitt is able to effectively match the mood of each event, for example: “Washington’s March” is marked as maestoso while “Attack” alternates into a presto tempo. The opening and closing of the piece (which depict scenes of triumph) are in D major, and...

...and size. The carpenter has a certain grace, poise, confidence "walking with an economy of movement, graveful and light, a man who knew his body and used it well", which comes from being easy in his skin, which Miss Mijares, decidedly, is not. Miss Mijares' over reaction to the discovery that the carpenter has fathered a child by a woman he is not married to reveals the extent of her acquiescence to the system--moral, social, etc. Discovering that he has "feet of clay," she suddenly notices everything else that is wrong with him--his stupid grin, his defective teeth. In capitulating to her desire and her loneliness, does Miss Mijares triumped over the system in which she is trapped? The language would suggest that this is not so: note the pathos of the...

...going to enlist in these ski troops” (125). However, despite Leper realizing that surviving means “evolving the right way,” he is unable to adapt to his environment during war. In greater detail, after war Leper describes his Section Eight discharge by explaining to Gene, “A Section Eight discharge is for the nuts in the service, the psychos […] They give you a Section Eight discharge, like a dishonorable discharge only worse. You can’t get a job after that. […] You’re screwed for life, that’s what a Section Eight discharge means” (144) Evidently, Leper receives a Section Eight discharge; he is deemed unfit mentally to serve in the U.S. Army. In addition, this discharge is on Leper’s record, so he “can’t get a job” which makes him unfit for life and survival. This is a crucial disability, for during the war receiving employment or joining the army was the only means of survival. To add on, society’s perception of the mentally disabled during the mid 1900’s was terribly dehumanizing. Considering this, Leper’s mental state categorizes him as unsuitable to function in society. Clearly then, Leper is the representation of an unfit member in society that will eventually die...

...An Inevitable Transition from Vietnam to America The aftermath of the Vietnam war was tremendous. Many Vietnamese were relocated, some South Vietnamese generals taking refuge in America. Andrew Lam was the son of one of those generals and he and his family were refugees in American when Lam decided to adopt the American way of life for better or worse. In his essay, “Notes of a Warrior’s Son,” Andrew Lam uses an anecdotal style coupled with reflective diction and symbolism to justify and express his uncertainty with his own cultural transition from a Vietnamese culture, to an Americanized one. Lam began his essay by using anecdotal style, narrating the story of his father leaving Vietnam. He writes that, “he folded away his army uniform, changed into a pair of jeans and a shirt, and, now a stateless man, tossed his gun into the water” (24). By beginning his essay with an anecdote from his father he sets a more personal tone. This tone help the reader feel more sympathetic to Lam’s struggles. In this same quote he began using the...
