Mass destruction‚ radioactive contamination‚ and certain mortality were the United States way of showcasing its barbaric dominance to the entire world. But could these merciless attacks and devastating effects ever truly be justified? War is the aggressive conflict between societies‚ and should only be fought using military forces against other military forces.

During Spring Break everyone is usually flying or driving out to for vacation.I usually go to Florida or last year I went to Arizona‚ but this year I did nothing.

I obviously wanted to do something different so I picked California so that means I stayed home during spring break so here is what I did during that week.First‚ my sister came home to visit

A War of Vivid Scenes Death‚ disability‚ and love the triangle of heartache. More than 9 million combatants were killed during this Great War. The questions I ask myself are do the survivors really survive after war? Or are they so tarnished with war they cannot function with daily tasks.

All of these questions you too may also be asking about
