Not so well received rich homies of war
When all the soldiers returned home from the war there was a huge celebration in Times square, lots of kissing and an overwhelming tone of happiness. Well that was what was suppose to happen, and you'd thing that if a lot of families thought their loved ones were dead, but then were surprised that they were alive, then they would be absolutely ecstatic. However they would return from the war and go home and people wondered where they had been. Sadly though because of all of the controversy with all of the war, people were not as willing to openly pour their appreciation into these soldiers as they represented something that they did not stand for. And even though these soldiers were still putting their lives on the line just like they always have been, they are not being rewarded by the appreciation if their peers a much.

Amazing writing and great title once again, keeping it interesting love it. It's really interesting how people had a negative image of the soldiers because of the media and what they could see because of the media. The media really changed how people perceived war.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post because it is not something we focused on in class. I really like how you talk about the emotions that went through differnt people. I wish you hd talked a little more about the last part when you talk about soldiers not being appreciated enough. I like your title!
