Johnson is straightforward and it directly addresses the exigence for American participation in the war. Our purpose was to defend those who could not defend themselves in the name of Freedom. We were to be advocates for democracy in a foreign domain that was becoming increasingly dominated by communism. It was necessary from an executive standpoint to become involved in order to assert the United States as a considerable superpower. However, we were defending South Vietnam for fear of our own nation's influence that was not realistically inhibited. We feared the hypothetical potential of communism spreading to America and this selfish fear is what drove our seemingly unselfish protectionism. ]]> 2017-01-23 05:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148619692 2018cmoglesby https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148753291 2017-01-23 15:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148753291 2018cmoglesby https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148753671 2017-01-23 15:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148753671 2018cmoglesby https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148759820 2017-01-23 16:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148759820 2018cmoglesby https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148851585 The protection of freedom as an intangible ideology is a valiant notion. However, the cost for this aid greatly outweighed the domestic benefit for the United States as one independent nation. We defended a justifiable concept but we already possessed its prosperous repercussions. This means that we fought against communism to assert democracy while we were already engaged in the democratic process for ourselves. In the end we ultimately achieved little and suffered colossally. ]]> 2017-01-23 19:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148851585 2018cmoglesby https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148854223 Perhaps the paranoia and self inflicted anxiety that soldiers internalized throughout O'Brien's novel is a direct depiction of the hypothetical fear that the United State's delegations and decisions were based on. Consider this, communism had not realistically become a threat to the western hemisphere of the world. It was simply a permeating ideology that was used to operate foreign affairs in various external countries. The United States fought for what the threat could potentially become as opposed to the reality; the threat. The nonexistent threat at that. ]]> 2017-01-23 19:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2018cmoglesby/k8ijin73gmx/wish/148854223
