multiple fortifications, caves, and gun emplacements depicted in the film are also accurate, according to the real Desmond Doss. "They had that mountain honeycombed and camouflaged, it looked like natural terrain. That 's what we had to face.", he would state when discussing the terrain. When the division scales the cliff they climb up a large cargo net, which is historically accurate, however the height of the cliff is extremely exaggerated. In the actual battle, the cliff was much closer to the ground

for an interview as a veteran, as he did not serve in the United States military. Although Hungary is now part of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, (or NATO) and ally with the United States of America, before 1990 Hungary was part of the Warsaw Pact and “enemy” of United States.

Stereotypes are a widely believed mental picture of a group

What is courage? John Wayne said that “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” The word courageous does not accurately describe United States Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell. I have admired Marcus’ life for a number of years. His life and experiences help keep me motivated during challenging times. Many of you may have heard of or seen the movie, Lone Survivor. Lone Survivor is a true account of an extreme gun battle, where Marcus Luttrell was the only survivor from the team during

Real heros don 't have caps and spandex. They have combat boots and uniforms. The heros I 'm talking about are the men and women who serve in the United States Military. All the training sacrifices, and courage it takes is something not a lot of us think about. As a student in JROTC, I understand the passion you need to train for the military. You have to be in mental and physical shape. They do not play around about being in shape. The patalen leaders push you harder at PT than anything

The Vietnam War is the most controversial war in the history of the United States. There are very few events in the history of our country that compare to the views and passion behind the American people during the war. The war was exploited both people who felt strongly against the war as well as those who were pro war. The war touched every single person in this country, regardless of where someone came from they had an opinion about the Vietnam War. With all these feelings lead to many movies

Orlando Ward, Fredendall often bypassed his headquarters and made direct coordination with the Combat Commanders. 11. This practice had disastrous consequences with the II Corp operations order for the defense of Sidi Bou Zid. The order specified the exact locations of Combat Command A’s battalions and some companies (thus, II Corp not only bypassed the division HQ, but also bypassed BG Mcquillen’s Combat Command HQ). To make matters worse, since MG Fredendall rarely left his HQ, this overly directive

Something that interests me is the Navy, considering it runs in the family to be in the service. My father was in the Navy and that’s what made me want to be in the Navy. Also, I feel as in I have more to give to the United States. I want to give my services to the United States and for everyone’s freedom. There are certain jobs in the Navy you can choose from. And in the Navy I want to be a Corpsman. Corpsman is at the top of their professions. They provide care not only for military service members

On February 23, 1945, during the battle in Iwo Jima, United States Marines raised a flag atop Mount Suribachi. It was taken down and a second flag was raised. History savvy or not, but many people know the photograph of the soldiers raising the United States flag at Iwo Jima.

I was eight years old when my brother decided to enlist in the navy. I thought what he did was brave and inspiring, so I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I am sixteen years old now and I still want to become a naval officer, more than ever now because I know what to expect and know what the navy is. Becoming a naval officer, specifically a naval aviator, is a commitment I am ready for. It is a risk but a risk I volunteer to take for my country. My ultimate goal is to become an F-35 pilot. The thrill

was 15 years old I wanted to serve my country, but it couldn’t happen in my birth country. I moved to the United Stated when I was 17, and since the United States became my country, I wanted to serve here too. I served four years in the Marines Corps.
