American Bully America the Bully As a child, my first remembrance of war is the Gulf War. I was sitting in front of the television watching the soldiers land from the helicopters to the sandy desert plains of Iraq. Forty-two days later, my mother told me that the war was over and that everything was going to be okay. Of course, I had no fear or worries. I had little understanding of exactly what was happening in a place that was so far away. My thoughts at the time were not why our government decided to send thousands of troops to a different country, but why the soldiers pants were tan and brown and not green and brown as usual. As I grew up, many more complex thoughts began overloading my brain about war. I wondered why we killed, and what was being accomplished by killing. My generation alone has witnessed so many historical events. I have grown up with the Persian Gulf War, the Oklahoma City bombing, September 11th, the NASA space shuttle catastrophe and now, Operation Iraqi Freedom. These are the major events are what come to my memory when I look back in American history. american, government, america, countries, country, very, question, different, about, war, states, power, world, information, because, americans, united, soldiers, reason, ratajzack, just, iraq, people, one, news, interview, found, first, doing, written, two, statement, par, out, going
