...Soldier’s Home by Ernest Hemingway In Soldier’s Home, Ernest Hemingway depicts Harold Krebs return home from World War I and the problems he faces when dealing with his homecoming and transition back towards a normal life. After the fighting overseas commenced, it took Krebs a year to finally leave Europe and return to his family in Oklahoma. Once home, he found it hard to talk about all he had seen in his tour of duty overseas, which should be attributed to the fact that he saw action in some of the bloodiest, most crucial battles towards the culmination of the war. Therefore, Krebs difficulty in acknowledging his past is because he was indeed a “good soldier” (139), whose efforts in order to survive “The Great War,” were not recognized by his country, town and even worse, his own Family. After his late return from the war, Krebs moved back to the home of his family in Oklahoma. Although this seems common to what most soldiers would do after war, Krebs stay away from his family had been an elongated one. This is not just because of his leisure time at the Rhine with German prostitutes after the war had ended, but also because he went to the war direct from a “Methodist College in Kansas” (136). With that information, we can deduce that Krebs had not lived with his family for more than two years, but most likely between four and six. This must have put a serious strain on his relationship with his family members, who in his own mind, obviously lived in a different...

...were listening to “The Star-Spangled Banner” (Walch). The soldiers would also sing songs when they obtained victory such as “Marching Through Georgia.” When soldiers from the North and South marched off to war, they took with them a love of song that transcended the political and philosophical divide between them (“Music of the 1860's”). Besides being used for military operations, music was also an important part of the soldiers’ lives in camp. Music would pass the time, entertain and comfort, bring back memories of home and family, and strengthen bonds between comrades as well as help forge new ones. In Lincoln and the Music of the Civil War, Kenneth A. Bernard wrote, “In camp and hospital they sang -- sentimental songs and ballads, comic songs, and patriotic numbers… The songs were better than rations or medicine.” The soldiers would...

...The Unseen Wound Many soldiers returning home from war have many obstacles to overcome both physical and mental. Most soldiers are not aware of a certain condition that they might have developed while deployed in a war zone. This condition is called Traumatic Brain Injury, also known as TBI. It is an injury that is not found on the outside of the body but rather internal, therefore it is called the Unseen Wound. Even though it’s unseen, TBI is real and affects a large percentage of veterans returning from war and test results show that an average of 46 percent of soldiers have TBI. Traumatic brain injury, the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, is doubly cruel: it leaves many victims emotionally shattered and cognitively crippled. But because mild and moderate brain injuries do not show up on CT or other imaging devices, doctors and even family members are often skeptical that any real damage exists. TBI is real and affects a large percentage of veterans returning from war. “Consistent with the designation of TBI as one of the signature injuries of the war theaters in Iraq and Afghanistan, 46% of the returning veterans recruited for this project screened positive for a deployment-related TBI” (Morissette, Woodward, & Kimbrel, Meyer, Kruse, 2011, p. 346). I have deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan and have sustained injuries in result of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) and mortar attacks. Shortly after returning home, my family and close friends...

...committed Soldiers to protect our freedoms and uphold democracy. This force consists of Active Duty Soldiers and Soldiers in the Army Reserve. (US Army) Many families struggle with the decision to enlist Army Reserve or Active Duty. Evaluating your current living situation can help in the final decision. Army Reserve allows you to serve your country while still having a civilian life. I believe Army Reserve is a better choice for someone with a family, despite the limited benefits, because it allows personal choice of living, more time with loved ones, and provides benefits. The Army Reserve allows soldiers more flexibility in making living decisions. The Army Reserve is stationed at home unless called to active duty. The Army Reserve makes up a significant portion of the Army. One of the positive factors about the Army Reserve is the ability to live a civilian family life in their local hometown. The soldiers also have the option of living on or off base. Being able to remain in their local hometown, the Army Reserve soldiers can hold full-time civilian jobs. A civilian job helps the soldiers strengthen their technical skills that are also taught in the Army. The flexibility makes it easier to rely on the Army Reserve to meet complex demands for the future at home. Its Citizen- Soldiers embody the warrior mindset and spirit and are essential to the Army`s ability to support the Joint Force, both in contingent and combat-effects missions. When active duty Soldiers deploy overseas...

...paralyzed and spinal injuries in military veterans. There are currently over 100,000 veterans with these types of catastrophic injuries in America. Ron Kovic was a Marine Corp Sergeant who served two tours in the Vietnam War to return home paralyzed. His memoirs chronicle his experience both overseas and back home and show his transformation from a “Yankee Doodle Dandy” to a major antiwar activist. The Vietnam War substantially changed the culture of America. The 1950’s post World War II culture as described by Kovic was very stereotypically “Leave it to Beaver” he had a two parent home, mom stayed home dad worked. They were a good Catholic family and Ron just wanted to do well in baseball and make his parents proud. Ron grew up in a very patriotic environment. His childhood memories include fireworks on his birthday, playing war games with his friends, watching War movies starring John Wayne and Audie Murphy and feeling pride reciting the pledge of allegiance (Kovic 83). His childhood friends and fellow soldiers grew up with similar experiences and this romanticized version of War and war heroes was typical of the decades leading up to the Vietnam conflict. Cold War tensions categoristic of the time were evident in cultural references during the 1960’s with shows on TV about double crossing communist agents and fascination with the Space Race dominating Ron’s life. With just enough patriotism and a mix of fear of nuclear destruction young men around Kovic’s age were ready to...

...Page 1 English 101 Sec 80655 4 April 2014 The Deer Hunter vs. We were Soldiers: The Evolution of War in Films In The Deer Hunter directed by Michael Cimino and We were Soldiers directed by Randall Wallace, both have plots that take place during the Vietnam War, involve the military, societal changes, and familial bonds. The message of each film essentially is sacrifice. The Deer Hunter and We were Soldiers use a group of three protagonists to convey its theme of sacrifice. When we take a closer look at them though we can see past the explosions and carnage that accompany most epic war films and see how war is depicted in a changing society. Society has dramatically changed since the post-Vietnam era of the 1970’s when The Deer Hunter was made, to the ultra patriotic times of an immediate post- 9/11 era when We were Soldiers was made . By demonstrating the differences between these films in the way that the military, society and family are depicted we see an evolvement of the way war is portrayed on film. First let’s take a look at the way the military is portrayed in The Deer Hunter. Having been made in a time of post-Vietnam The Deer Hunter depicts the military with the attitude of the times, in that the military was not looking out for our nation’s and soldier’s best interests. Cimino‘s depiction is of an army made up of men drafted into service. They are fulfilling their duty and making the sacrifices...

...HISTORY WARRIORS In Ancient Greece warriors were called Hoplites. Greece is one of the most common places. During battle the hoplites wore metal guards called greaves and chest plates called cuirass. They fought with a longer spear, called a doru, a short sword called xiphos and a shield called hoplon. They also wore helmets which were lined with leather of fabric. They also often had feathers on the helmets. The best hoplites came from the city-state Sparta. Sparta was a military state. It was the only city-state with a standing army. Boys were taken away from their homes at the age of seven and were put into a military school to learn how to become a soldier. The main role of a Spartan man was to be a great and tough warrior. A Spartan...

Chance Kwoya Fagin, Professor ENG215 Research and Writing 7 August 2010 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: Takes Special Medical Care The government is awesome at getting men ready for war, but they can’t quite get them back to civilian life and a humble heart. - JUNIOR ENLISTED MARINE, POST-IRAQ After we came back, many of us were only back in body. Our souls stayed over there. – ARMY COMBAT ENGINEER, POST-IRAQ Transition can mean the big picture of how a warrior has to try to adjust back into society, but the short term is very critical, from when a warrior leaves the battlefield to when they hit the streets at home. If there’s one thing I learned from my experiences, it was that there was no transition at all. –VIETNAM VETERAN Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has become the major medical issue with our soldiers returning from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. For many soldiers, it is a badge of honor to have served but for most, it is a start to an endless battle of finding the courage to continue to serve or be labeled an unfit soldier for the military and useless to their family. PTSD affects not only the soldier’s way of life but the core of who the soldier is. For this reason, the government should take special care informing society what is PTSD, who gets PTSD and what types...

...was. Soldiers were coming home from war disfigured and abandoned by their families. Without the brilliant work of Anna Coleman Ladd, living a normal life would be absolutely impossible for these faceless soldiers. During the 1920’s Anna Coleman Ladd realized her true potential as an artist. World War 1 had come to an end just two years prior, leaving over 17 million deaths and 20 million wounded. Out of those 20 million wounded, 11 million were military personnel. “World War I was the first war in which a man could get half his face blown off and survive,” Lubin said People from all over would come to see her, she gave them a sense of comfort and tranquility in the way she decorated her shop; she made it feel like a home away from home. “She was very interested in principles of ancient art, the sort of beautiful serene face,” says David Lubin, the Charlotte C. Weber professor of art at Wake Forest University. “And she gives these men . . . this almost unreal serenity.” Anna Coleman Ladd did not always want to create these flawless masks, she had other dreams also....

...Sociology 101 Speaking out for Soldiers Page 1 I have been in the military since 2007 and have witnessed several of my friends change during this time period. I have only one friend who is seeking help for PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) I find it interesting that even though they are suffering they will not seek help. My question is why are most military troops less likely to seek help for PTSD? The mental health in our military troops is becoming more of a concern. It has been found that one in eight US soldiers returning home from either Iraq or Afghanistan has PTSD. The major problem occurring from this is soldier are for one reason or another not seeking any help for this issue. This problem has been going on for as long as there has been war. Fortunately our society is starting to understand the effects war has a a person and are paying more attention to this issue. It is important that our society pay more attention to this problem because their can be lasting negative effects if soldiers do not seek treatment. The short term effects of PTSD are sleeplessness, panic attacks, intense fear, nightmares, self destructive thoughts, and depression. The long term effects of PTSD are subsidence abuse, anger management issues, loneliness, and severe depression. In 2012 the military sent out a survey to military spouses and found out that over sixty percent of soldiers believed they have PTSD but will...

...They can be traced back to the pilgrims, who in 1663 passed a law that stated all disabled soldiers were to be supported by the colony. Nearly a century later in 1773 the Continental Congress provided for pensions to disabled soldiers to encourage military enlistment (“About V.A”, Para 1). Today the VA is organized into three "Administrations:" Veterans Benefits Administration ("VBA"), Veterans Health Administration ("VHA"), and National Cemetery Administration ("NCA"). These administrations, in turn, manage the large number of veterans programs funded by Congress each year (“THE HISTORY OF VETERANS BENEFITS”,Para 7). As time passed, the government realized that pensions were not the only thing our veterans were in need...

...During the 1900’s, war was often romanticized. When a man went off to war they were viewed as a hero for being patriotic and defending their country. Most people thought they would come out of war as a better man because of what they were told. However they did not know what they were in for. In the book, All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque the negative effects of war on an individual are shown. The main character, Paul Bäumer, is a soldier during World War I. The reader can see what the war has done to him and his comrades. In the beginning of the story, Paul explains how war has changed the lives of him and his comrades forever. He says, “We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces...we believe in such things no longer. We believe in war” (pg. 87-88). Paul has explained that his generation...

The primary purpose of this research paper is to describe the effects of military deployments on a families and children. This paper will discuss the effects and they type of effects the military families and children are faced with. “Deployments in the United States have increased greatly in the past 10 years. Families and children are psychiatrically affected by these deployments and recent studies are clarifying these effects.” (James 2012, p.16) Deployments in military service entails the departing of men and women who leave their families and their homes with a group of other soldiers (Army, Air force, Marines, Navy) and go to another country for a period of 90 days to 15 months. During this time they earn what is called combat pay. This is given because of the danger they are placed in while in these other countries. “A soldier’s life exists on a...
