One Hour's Military Duty
What this letter is trying to say is this person will not join the military so he can live. According to the text it said, " I could not do one hour's military duty to save my life." So in the letter it is trying to say that he will rather die than life to fight. He also includes something else it said, "the article of shedding human blood, in me, is not a humor but a principle." which means that all this violence is not in him. So this person is a moderate to ans also am I. "Therefor this scrap supports the moderate

    Summary: Roger Nash Baldwin

    “I cannot consistently, with self respect, do other than I have, namely, to deliberately violate an act which seems to me to be a denial of everything which ideally and in practice I hold sacred.”. Or maybe, “I regard the principle of conscription of life as a flat contradiction of all our cherished ideals of individual freedom, democratic liberty and Christian teaching.…

    Devastation In 'All Quiet On The Western Front'

    I agree with this statement because of two major reasons. The first reason being the emotional and mental impact that war has on the minds of soldiers and their families. The evidence displayed in chapter 7 demonstrates what going to war can do to the personalities of some. “I ought never to have come here. Out there I was indifferent and often hopeless-I will never be able to do so again. I was a soldier, and now I am…

    Unit 2 DBQ 2

    It is true Sir, that I have. . expressed an Inclination to serve the ensuing Campaigne as a Volunteer; and this inclination is not a little increased since it is likely to be conducted by a Gentleman of the General's Experience. But, besides this and the laudable desire I may have to serve (with my best abilities) my King & Country, I must be ingenuous enough to confess, that I am not a little biased by selfish considerations. To be plain, Sir, I wish earnestly to attain some knowledge of the Military Profession: and, believing a more favourable opportunity cannot offer, than to serve under a Gentleman of General…

    The Role Baron Von Steuben Played in the American Revolutionary War

    The Prussian Baron von Steuben, being a newcomer to the Revolutionary cause in America, was in a position to see many of the deficiencies in military discipline and their causes. The reasons for his unique insight may have been due to the fact that he was distanced from the revolutionary ideals in America, and as a result, was able to better observe and understand them; and ultimately use them to shape his new and successful form of discipline in the Continental Army. Most of the commanders of the Continental Army, from the commander in chief to the lower officers had subscribed to the traditional European method that relied on fear to achieve discipline. This method of fear was probably not essential, and had little if any effect in the early days of the war because the soldiers were mostly fighting for their own ideologies. To the soldiers, the commanders were of little importance.…

    Journeys End:sympathy for hibbert?

    The conditions they come to accept as ‘normal’ would strike anyone not accustomed to them as intolerable and Hibbert’s response, based on his instinct for self-preservation, may be seen as rational and in many ways understandable. However, his stance goes against the crucial military requirements of camaraderie and unity against the enemy and thus he loses the sympathy of the audience, even though he has, in all probability, been forced to go to war through conscription.…

    All Quiet On The Western Front

    “Comrade, I did not want to kill you…But you were only an idea to before me, and abstraction that lived in my mind and called forth its appropriate response. It was an abstraction I stabbed. But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony-forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?”~~Page 223…
