Here is what Tim Briggs says about trust and how it relates to war. “A lot of my job throughout the years has had the requirements of trust.

KC Dixit thought, ”A man of character in peace is a man of courage in war. It is a moral quality which grows to maturity in peace and is not suddenly developed at the outbreak of war. War has no power to transform. It merely exaggerates the good and evil in us.” There are many downsides to war but having a program where young people can find some good in there life is priceless.

The principle of war is freedom and liberty, while the reality is death. “In war the dead pay the debts of the living” (Collier and Collier 211). By fighting in a gruesome war, many would expect to gain freedom. However, the reality is that a price has to be paid to obtain freedom. In other words, lives have to be lost in order to earn desired freedom.
With all of the problems in our society, war is the most talked about dilemma in our messed up world. War could be both good and bad depending on a person’s view about it. War has some good objectives like erasing injustice and ending tyranny. If you think about it, there are also negative objectives, like how brutal war can be, or all of the innocent lives that are lost.

But that bond can have a high price. War kills soldiers, tearing them from family; it kills innocent people, just trying to survive.

One morning in an exchange with a young lieutenant, General Lee used a casual greeting and empathized with the soldier’s workload, believing that speaking as a friend, he would best convey his expectation of a good day’s work (Marrin 108). The relationships General Lee formed with his troops built a foundation of trust. His men expressed that “if he was nearby, they felt safe...” (Marrin 172). General Lee cared deeply for his men and tried to never expose them to unnecessary danger.
Trust being the most important of these elements, but trust like respect cannot be demanded; it had to be earned. (Pullen and Mathias, 2010). Throughout this activity, I have been able to put
The Vietnam War in American history exceeds a reputation of being one of the most unpopular, violent, and unnecessary in its time. Although there was a big support basis at the beginning of the war, many soldiers that were drafted or enlisted to fight realized the dangers of the event amongst each other, and had to help each other strive through to make it out alive and hopefully maintain a healthy conscious. During the times of war, relationships in the platoon can be rough, undesirable, and even violent in certain moments, but in reality, soldiers culminate into a brotherhood and family. At some points in war, many soldiers have rough relationships with their comrades.

In Tim O'Brien's “Enemies” and “Friends”, O'Brien shows the effect the nature of war has on individuals and how war destroys and creates friendships. These two stories describe the relationship between two soldiers, Lee Strunk and Dave Jensen. In “Enemies”, friendship is broken over a fist fight about a stolen jackknife, which leaves Strunk with a broken nose and Jensen paranoid of whether or not Strunk’s revenge is coming. While in “Friends”, you see how the nature of war creates a bond of trust, even between people who first saw each other as enemies.
The development of trust
Throughout my childhood and adolescent years, I always had a dream of joining the military. Though it was a choice, I still did not have any inside information of what it would be like, and the requirements and specifics of the Army. It wasn't until 2005 when I decided to join the United States Army that all my concerns and questions were answered by a recruit; and I was guided through the whole process to enter and prep for the Army. If it was not for the confidences and motivation of my recruiter back in 2005, I might have not made my leap and probably would not be in this uniform today. Becoming a member of the United States Army recruiting team means having a physical and mental toughness in order to perform efficiently.

In fact, the most ordinary human interactions would be nearly impossible without trust in some degree. The element of trust is also something that can be gained and lost.
