Inconsistent Assistance Generally, soldiers have never been treated fairly. The foul treatment of soldiers has been a problem since warfare began. In fact, Shakespeare's Macbeth implies soldiers are unrewarded and mistreated, as they are today. To start, Soldiers in Macbeth or the Tudor time period were usually poor people. The kings would get the nobles to rally the poor together to fight. Most of the time, men were pulled from their families and forced to fight against their will. The soldiers that fought on the battlefield were in the lower class. These men usually returned home wounded or disabled from an injury they received in the war. Often times, they would be looked down upon for their disability or wound and they would be left to live in poverty for the rest
Soldiers are left waiting and unrewarded for their time spent helping America. An example of this is Kenny Porter a veteran from the 82nd airborne(ARMY) was treated wrongly at a VA hospital. He describes his experience like this: “Every time I opened my mouth the doctor shushed me or tried to shut me up. He was impatient. I was humiliated in front of my daughter”. This story is just an example of many other veterans that have been lost in the VA system and that have received little to no compensation for their service. Our current VA system disgusts me and the above quote describes the reality of what our servicemen face when they return from their service.What America needs to do is make the system more consistent. We do this by hiring more people to work for the VA hospitals so our country can get veterans suffering with PTSD immediate help when they ask for it. We give people the benefits promised prior to their service such as healthcare, insurance, education, housing, and status. And we create excellent jobs waiting for soldiers when they come home. In all honesty there is no reason why our veterans should not get what they
The day to day life for the regular soldier was not glorious. Many times the regiments were low on supplies such as food and clothing. They lived in the elements. Medical conditions were grotesque because of the lack of advanced equipment and anesthesia. “Discipline was enforced with brutality” as if all the other conditions were not bad enough.
America’s veterans should be honored because they have suffered through so many hardships that others could not and have not survived, and they did it for their country that they loved and still love today.

Macbeth's Actions in William Shakespeare's Macbeth As soon as we start to read the play, we learn that Macbeth has earned. himself an honourable reputation, and is described by King Duncan as a valiant cousin. Worthy gentleman. His loyalty and bravery are portrayed through his defeat of the Norwegian army and Scottish rebels, and he returns from battle, a gallant and reputable soldier. The extent of his courage is shown as he is interminably praised by his noblemen, has become a hero of Scotland, and the thane of Cawdor.
Change of Macbeth in William Shakespeare's Play. The play Macbeth gives the audience plenty of opportunities to consider the reasons for the main character's actions. In this essay I consider the many factors which contributed to Macbeth's descent. into evil; many factors play a pivotal role in deciding his ill-fated.
When we first hear about Macbeth from the sergeant’s report, we are led to believe that he is very much a person who does only what he believes is right. Furthermore, when he first appears in the play, his fellow nobleman, Banquo, accompanies him. Given this, we would think that he does what is right, and makes all his own decisions. However this belief is proven wrong. Although Macbeth starts off as a loyal subject of Duncan, he is ambitious and this is a weakness, which allows him to be manipulated by a few factors in the play.
Ever since the pilgrims first set foot on North American soil there has always been some form of a pension to soldiers of battle. The purpose of this compensation to the soldiers was to allow them to be able to successfully live a post-military life. Over the growth of America the compensation for a soldier’s tenure began to grow as well. From the start of the Old Soldiers Home to the birth of the Veterans Administration (VA) to the inception of the GI Bill the government has adopted more and more methods to aid veterans in their post-military life. However even with all these programs veterans still find themselves struggling to be a part of society as an everyday citizen. Why is it that with all these government programs, veterans are still struggling to adjust to civilian life?
Most of the combatants were not acquainted to the lifestyle of a soldier. While they were in the process of adapting to the change, they faced a lot of hardships. The most daunting part of the war was the living conditions of the soldiers. The living condition of the soldiers in and out of the battlefield during the war was devastating. Some of the soldiers lost their lives before they even had the opportunity to fight. Some of the challenges faced by new army recruiters were severe cold weather; lack of food, lighting struck, deadly diseases, and dirty water was what they were encased with. Sniffing gunpowder by soldiers caused some allergies to some soldiers and even aggravated sickness to others. Moreover, watching non catered wounds, seeing broken legs; arms and heads a little daunted him. Moreover, the soldiers were not able to have their activities scheduled by themselves but had to follow the schedule from their general commander. In addition to that, the quality of food served to the soldiers was very poor. An example is the bread served to the soldiers. It was so “hard that it could break the teeth of a rat”, unfortunately, complains were not deliberated by their leaders. For the response from the leaders will be, if one person
`Act 1- The three weird witches meet and they are planning on when they are going to meet again to talk to Macbeth. In the next scene King Duncan talks to the injured captain about the battle against the invaders, who are under the command of Macdonwald. The captain tell King Duncan how he saved Malcolm and Macbeth was very violent and fought with great force. Then the Captain is taken away by the servants then Ross enters and he tells Duncan that Cawdor has been beaten and the Norway army retreated. Then King Duncan comes to the decision to kill Cawdor and then Macbeth will "become Cawdor". Then Duncan sends out Ross to go tell Macbeth about what had happened at this time. In scene three the witches approach Banquo and Macbeth when they were on their way to Forres. The witches inform Macbeth and Banquo about what had happened in the kings court and they tell him he is the Thane of Cawdor and Glamis and that Macbeth will eventually become king. Then Banquo is told riddles that his children will be royal and he will not. After the witches disappear then Ross and Angus come up to them and Ross informs Macbeth the news which he just heard. Then Macbeth contemplates whether he will have to spill blood to become king, then when he is done they all continue to Forres. Then Duncan finds out that Cawdor dies because his son killed him. Then Ross, Angus, Banquo and Macbeth arrive. Then Malcolm becomes the heir to Duncans throne and Macbeth has Duncan dine at his castle that night so he rides to tell his wife.

Soldiers are required to fill out excessive paperwork just to receive care. “Veterans and soldiers were required to file twenty-two documents to eight different departments in order to receive care” (“Point: Veterans Struggle To Receive Benefits”). It has become a very long and difficult process for our veterans to receive medical attention after returning home.

Shakespeare uses equivocation not to confuse but to either get across multiple meanings or to leave dialogue and events in the play open ended. Equivocation can be seen with the witches and whenever they talk. The witches are themselves a vague set of characters who talk in a puzzling riddle-like manner. For instance when Macbeth goes to see them for the second time they are very vague about predicting his future, intentionally confusing him and making him overly confident. An example of this riddled dialogue goes like this:
In the play ‘’Macbeth’’ by William Shakespeare Macbeth struggles with his conscience and the fear of eternal domination if he assassinates King Duncan. Lady Macbeth’s conflict arises when Macbeth’s courage begins to falter. Lady Macbeth is has a cruel, venomous, evil personality in which no man can escape from her wrath and raging power. Lady Macbeth is like a black widow who utilizes aggressive and ruthless tactics to persuade Macbeth to commit the assassination. This cruel minded woman utilizes the power of manipulation and reverse psychology to get what she desires.
The Impact of Act 2 scene 2 of Macbeth & nbsp; Act 2 scene 2 is the most violent and intense part of Macbeth, although we do not actually witness the murder of King Duncan. It is interesting that Shakespeare chooses to have Macbeth kill Duncan offstage. We can only guess why he wrote the scene that way, I think that Shakespeare wanted to focus not on the murder but on Macbeth’s reaction to it; the bloody details supplied by the audiences imaginations will be much worse than anything that could be done onstage. It is also the most crucial part of the play; it is the first of many murders. This scene takes place at night; I feel the darkness represents what is unnatural, cruel and evil.
