Tice told of being electrocuted, and other

statements on television (PBS), civilized nations
were appalled. Throughout the years, prisoners
have been interrogated and mistreated by their

War On January 16, 1991 the Gulf War had
officially started, and for good reason. In August
of 1990, Saddam Hussein sent armies to Kuwait, to
take it over. When the United States had
unwittingly given Saddam help when fighting
against the Iranians, we had also given him a
military that was one of the worlds largest and
most lethal. And so, when Saddam did not comply
with the ultimatum that the U. S. had given him,
Congress voted for the use of fo...

combat hurts their military careers. Although
women account for only ten percent of the enlisted
personnel (Time, 8 / 21 / 95 / Pg. 31), they are
still a major part in the armed forces. Their
performance recently has generated support from
