Why did fragging happen during the Vietnam war?
Is this the reason?.....Between 1969 and 1971, the Army reported 600 fragging incidents that killed 82 Americans and injured 651. In 1971 alone, there were 1.8 fraggings for every 1,000 American soldiers serving in Vietnam, not including gun and knife assaults.
"These people knew the war was pretty much lost, that they were going to be sacrificed," said Texas A&M University history professor and Vietnam veteran Terry Anderson. "They just wanted to get out of Vietnam."
After the 1968 Tet offensive, enlisted troops in Vietnam increasingly felt their lives were being placed at risk for a losing cause...
A lot of the draftees did not want to fight at all. If their officer was killed they might not have to go on patrol until the got a new one, or the sergeant that took over might just have them walk out into the jungle and hide out for a while.
Japan Wants To Rewrite World War II
August 12, 2010: August 15th is 65th the anniversary of the end of World War II, the day when Japan finally surrendered. This year, the anniversary is notable because, for the first time, the U.S. sent its ambassador to attend the commemoration of the Hiroshima atomic bomb attack on August 6th.
It is not the question of wordy duel
It is raging fire added with fuel
How a person can turn cruel?
Why can't they have peace mutual?
This can't go to their head
They want marching army ahead
They want to show overall lead
They want the message to be clearly read
It has remained age old dream and wish
They wanted hegemony and others to finish
Aim is only arms trade to flourish
they have only death faces to kiss
World have faced many holocaust
Natural and man made outbursts
Skirmishes on boundary lines
Celebration with champagnes and wines
Enough blood is to be bled but for whom?
War clouds may overcast and zoom
The war will be declared soon
The dark shed may appear on moon
Is it not the blot on humanity?
We want to continue the hostility
Do he wars have some special quality?
Destruction and deaths unnecessary and in futility
Is it not the devils dream with evil design?
How can we entertain and meekly resign/
There is still no sign of remorse
The war is thrust by tremendous force
War can change entire scene
The scattered bodies all over seen
Who are all very eager and keen?
Many countries actively involved and deliberately in
Hail their feat with loud applause
Die with hunger but passions don't rouse?
Tolerate the injustice and hang on for destruction
Only deaths may await you as pure instruction
There is no joy or gladness
It will increase only sadness
Millions may die of hunger and starvation
World may watch silently with observation
They may thrive on lucrative business
It is pure consideration and madness
Few countries may benefit and others suffer
Let us join the threads and not differ
It may spill blood and result in quarrels
There will be exchange gun fire from barrels
It won't be fight between loyalists and rebels
It may find name in holy war as label
Why can't we profess bullet for ballet?
Love and peace without any hatred
Let durable peace prevail with peace mission ahead
We as citizens come forward and lead
There is no realization and escape route
As we have failed to eradiate cause or root
It may engulf entire area in turmoil
There will be subjugation and occupation
Besides death, economy may cause hardship
The war mongers may claim real championship
The diplomacy may take over and initiatives may be thrust
All in good faith with broad smile and trust

The Need for Original FashionFashion has and always will be a way of expression, a method through which you can uncover yourself and show the world a glance of who you are.
However, what the world is in desperate need of is not fashion, but original fashion. Original fashion is about seeing outside of the box and sharing new and interesting things with the world.
It is a little hard to believe that original fashion is becoming more and more of a stranger to us in such times of development, but the fact is that people sometimes forget who they are in their attempt to fit in. However, it is not all lost because there are still people who are willing to take a shoot and...
