Thank you bud. Well hope it won't take you a whole couple hours to check it. Please don't spend too much time on it though. I just asked for some 2 cent, don't mean to steal your time, man. But thank you very much of course .

That one is better.

I saw one instance of "their" when it should have been "there."

or that they had no business being their in the first place.

5th Paragraph.

I'll let the educators handle the rest.

Sorted.

Thank you guys.

interesting thread and comments guys.
wish her luck IG.

anybody else have any other essays, this was an interesting thread, it would be good to see more like it

Thanks Locke, I was lucky we have some teachers in here

1. Even former Defence Secretary Robert McNamara so closely identified with the conflict that protestors called the war “McNamara’s War” was growing disillusioned”. (Boyer, p. 27 )

Edit this. Put a comma or verb after the first McNamara, but I would change the sentence.



2. Under President Johnson, Americans could see the carnage of the Vietnam War over their television sets and people at home could see villages go up in flames, what seemed to be innocent villagers go up in flames and U.S. Planes spraying Agent Orange on crops and forests. The effects of Agent orange were unknown when it was being spread.

The footage that people saw in their living rooms could not have raised the revulsion to which she refers, as everyone assumed it was a normal herbicide or an insecticide. The side-effects of Agent Orange were still unknown.

3. Sargent Shriver and Office of Economic Opportunity Supporters (OEO)
That is Sergeant.
4. I still think she should put her thesis statement at the end of the first paragraph. As it is, I see it now, but when I reach the end of the paragraph, I have to go back to figure out what she is talking about.

I think that's it.

Dean.

IG, could you inform us what the results are of this joint enterprise are? So when the grade is known, pass it on.... please?

Folks,

There has been a lot of discussion about the US and the 2nd IndoChina War. But to put it in a nut shell the war was lost when President Johnson decided on a policy of both Guns and Butter and that in this war everyone would not be in the same boat and not everyone in US society would be pulling the oars (ie the last war fought like that was the War of 1812 which only by sheer luck the US avoided outright defeat).

But for anyone interested read the following three books: LOST VICTORY, by William Colby, A BETTER WAR by Lewis Sorley and "any" book on Vietnam by Keith William Kolan -- ie with a Nolan book you actually know what it felt like to serve a year on the ground in combat in Vietnam.

Finally, a little known fact. By the end of December 1972 the North Vietnamese Army was paralized (ie the US had shut down their ability to communicate between major divisions and Hanoi) and its supply network was basically destroyed. Even the North Vietnamese admit this.

Jack E. Hammond

"Those who did learn by the end of their one-year tour were replaced by new men who began the cycle of self-delusion all over again. Throughout Vietnam and over the whole of Indochina, the one-year tour locked the military into a perpetual cycle of repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The wheel was reinvented every six months." (THE RAVENS, by C. Robbins)

"America's going to have a guilty conscience about the Vietnam war for a long time." (THE RAVENS, by C. Robbins, Gerry Greven)

NOTE> A VERY LONG TIME

If I had only known, I could have read a book instead of fighting
I trust you didn't mean that statement literally?
