Hell,_Healing,_and_Resistance

Hell, Healing, and Resistance In Bloody Century veterans from every major war in the last century, from World War I to the Gulf, give their personal accounts of active duty. Each individual account gave me an entire perspective of experience of war. This was new and challenging to me because I have never been that exposed to such intense and truthful tales of war. It also seems that throughout the century the United States has used its military against much weaker, third world countries and that none of these wars threatened the borders of the United States. Instead, they all seemed to revolve around access to resources and trading partners. I don’t feel that people should have to die to maintain U.S. standard of living and this was something that I never really thought about. Leanord Dietz, a World War II veteran reflected back at the meaning of the war to him, “I learned that war is not glorious but is about suffering and dying. It is a vile and evil business that blights everything it touches, robs peoples of its lives and futures, and forces many good people to do bad things against their better natures. war, world, reading, feel, century, veterans, people, matter, human, been, about, value, united, take, states, should, really, personal, own, out, never, military, lives, idea, good, forces, follow, ever, each, considering, come, business, bloody, better, bad, against, after, whole, weaker, we've, wars, violence, vile, veteran, ultimately, truthful, trading, touches, time, throughout
