Recognizing the Reality of the Iraq War
These memorials silently ask the question, Why War --- and demand a credible answer.
Out of 600 members of Congress, only one has a child in the military.
Below is a list of questions from the curriculum which accompanies the film. These questions have value for all of us.
*Is war necessary? If so, when? If not, why not?
*How do different people experience war?
*Is war about actions or about feelings?
*How should people protest against war?
*How can people protest against war and also support soldiers?
*What were the reasons given for enlisting?
*What might be considered positive or negative reasons to enlist?
*In looking back, did the soldiers have regrets about enlisting? If so, why? If not, why not?
*At what age did the soldiers enlist?
*How should we honor those who are killed in war? What is the purpose of
a war memorial?
