The causes of the War are the subsequent war itself were classic symptoms, components and consequences of the Cold War. The causes of the Vietnam War revolve around the simple belief held by America that communism was threatening to expand all over south-east Asia.

The Vietnam War cost the American 58,000 deaths and 350,000 injured and also 2 million Vietnamese dead. The War also cause Congress enacted the War Powers Act in 1973, requiring the president to receive explicit Congressional approval before committing American forces overseas.

He is against the War. Other soldiers are also against the War.

War ----- A Personal Response

Hey guys! Daddy's home! Alright, so basically, today I will be doing descriptive writing. I will be describing a picture taken during a War. So Enjoy!


This picture depicts this solider sitting, holding his gun tightly. The mood of this picture is sad. The soldier seem to be very scared and quiet. The background tells me the mood is very cold. The atmosphere of the picture is very intense. The black and white picture further increase the tension of the atmosphere. This picture, I must say, is full of emotions! The way he is looking at you tells you how desperate he is. He is desperate for his family, desperate for security and desperate for warmth. His eyes tells me how afraid he is and the way he is holding his gun tells me how insecure he is. His facial expression tells me how the war had greatly affected his life and took his life away from his hands. His expression also tells me how much he had hated the war! He expression also tells me how much he hope the war could stop and he need help. I can conclude that war is really a terrible event, it take away many innocent people's lives and their families. War will only result losses on both sides, no one will gain anything from war.
