did their best to defend themselves for 5 days and made many things saying that the Soviets tried warning the plane or trying to get the plane’s attention and didn’t work and many other ideas like that. The pilot that was given the mission was interviewed and talked about what he had to do and the instructions he was given. In the end the Soviets finally said in a conference that the U.S.S.R did shoot the Korean airline down and that they would do it again if they had to or needed to.

I was disoriented, in pain, and near death. Luckily, word got out to my base and they sent rescue crews looking for me only to find the burnt down plane and my co-pilot but after almost a week of torture and lack of sleep I was found by the United States Navy SEALS. I was brought to base to speak about my time in jail. While the battle in the gulf was coming to a close I was resting up and

Although not a single shot was fired against the men of Charlie Company, virtually everyone in the village was brutally murdered; some of the women were also viciously raped and tortured. Dozens of villagers were dragged into a ditch and executed with machine guns. The massacre was covered up by officers higher in command of Charlie Company and the 11th Brigade until Ron Ridenhour, a soldier who had heard reports of the massacre, sent letters to government officials and gave an interview to an investigative journalist. The U.S. Army ordered a special investigation, and the inquiry released their report in March 1970. Fourteen were charged; all were acquitted except Calley, who was given a life sentence for his role in directing the killings at My Lai.

Those fading voice of kids was sharp, sharp enough to pierce the deaf ears of peoples around make them hear the call of nation, the sound had an enough vibration to cause people around to standup than to enjoy the holidays by national strike.

The goons tossed the camp yesterday I had a few letters written on the back of small pieces of cardboard. I had put them into a leg of a stool that I had hollowed out but, they took all of the furniture and burnt it in front of us while we had to stay in formation for two hours. A guy in the front rank passed out and they revived him and then beat him until he passed out again. We then carried his broken body to the hospital.

Okay now I am not for the military walking around the middle east and killing everyone, but I hate hearing all the times there was a time to kill a terrorist leader like I don 't Know Bin Laden or another HVT, just because there are a few innocent people near by, and here 's why. The people who are wanting to "spew American blood" are also raping and killing people every day in the middle east. Lets take Tora Bora, as many of you know Osama Bin Laden was to blame for the 9/11 attacks, well 3 months later we had him pinned down in Tora Bora Afghanistan, so here is what Bush is considering, strike the town with a predator drone and risk civillian casualties or just don 't do anything basically. Well as history has shown us he didn 't do anything. Luckily we got him 10 years later but by then he had already killed thousands of more innocent lives.

The Battle of Tarawa in 1943 marked the first time that the US faced serious Japanese opposition to an amphibious landing. Over the course of four days, the 2nd Marine Division lost over 3,000 men to the heavily defended coastlines of Tarawa Atoll.

People aren't always undertaking missions, but people who do undertake a mission have self-believe and courage. I read Rikki-Tikki show heroism when taking down two cobras, plus Farah Ahmedi pushed herself with a disability when she climbed a mountain. But they weren't the only ones, Ernesto Galarza also showed courage when he was optimistic and saw learning as a fun thing. All these examples show that it takes self-believe and courage to undertake a mission. Rikki-Tikki Tavi by Rudyard Kipling is a fable where animals have anthropomorphic traits.
