Military Collaborationism By Zorz Sari
So far I have attempted to explore the various ways in which the texts under discussion engage with different aspects of collaborationism. There is, however, one last question to be addressed; how much do the texts say about the issue of armed or military collaboration, which ‘is perhaps the most extreme form of collaboration as it entails taking up arms, and fighting for and with the occupier and against one’s own brethren’ ? The answer in not surprising given the climate of consensual oblivion that became an imperative in the first period of the metapolitefsi; they say absolutely nothing.
There is, nonetheless, a remarkable exception. This is Zorz Sari’s largely autobiographical narrative Κόκκινη κλωστή δεμένη (1974) which, as the author

    It has often been stated in the Nation Football League that offense sells tickets while defense wins championships. That being said most teams implore either some version of the 3-4 schemes or the 4-3 schemes. While both defenses consist of a seven man front (7 players within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage) and used primarily to shut down opposing offenses running games we will examine the two to see which one is overall more effective in our guest to reach the promise land.…

    In their case, the civic actions are seen as crucial to the effectiveness of the mission, and are included in the doctrine of military intelligence under the name COSACO operations. The latter are a form of psychological operations that uses strategies of communication and assistance to “reach out to” the local population. Therefore, in their accounts the peace mission is interpreted as a military operation, and seen as an opportunity to boost their professional careers as leaders of combatant soldiers, even though the latter use words instead of…

    I spotted the light flickering by the doorway in the entry hall, signaling that someone was at the door. Another poor innocent soul, soon to be murdered by General Zaroff. I stepped up to the large wooden door, grabbed my black, long-barreled revolver and turned the brass knob. I looked upon the visitor with great curiosity, as he was naked. The revolver was pointed at his beating heart. His eyes showed a slight glimmer of fear, yet he gave a reassuring smile. His mouth began to move and I could only make out two words. Robber and yacht...…

    Unfortunate for Japanese Americans, were the events of Pearl Harbor, an act that defined the fate of thousands of U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry. The “white man” once again felt a need to put blame on a group of people, belittling them and forcing them into seclusion. Despite efforts by Ranking Officers in Hawaii to inform the Government that there was no reason to believe that Japanese Americans were involved in any sabotage, President Roosevelt signed the order to direct the Secretary of War “to prescribe military areas” in which, “the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restrictions…

    War requires unity behind a cause and a war without a cause leads to chaos. In Going After Cacciato, Paul Berlin, a soldier is faced with the harsh reality of war in Vietnam and imagines his journey to Paris, a place that stands for peace and hope. The author, Tim O’Brien, depicts Paul Berlin’s ambivalent views—whether to stand by his obligation to serve his country, even when it leads to destruction or to follow his own values to gain a sense of his true intention of gaining a sense of tranquility in order to reveal that war divides our morals and no definitive purpose.…

    Clausewitz's Theory Of War

    • 1853 Words
    • 8 Pages

    While many scholars attempted to theorize war in human history, only few were credited for constructing consistent theories on which people could base and further their understanding of war and warfare. Those include Greek Thucydides, Chinese Sun Tzu, and Indian Kautilya all three from 3-4th century BC; Prussian Carl von Clausewitz and Swiss Antoine-Henry Jomini both from 19th century. All of those prominent theorist had a lot to offer and therefore had great influence on our thinking in war, warfare, and strategy. However, Clausewitz’s theory offers more insight if one carefully and purposely studied the “paradoxical trinity” identified in his…

    When it comes to Penelope there is much controversy surrounding whether or not she recognized her husband Odysseus disguised as the beggar. I believe Penelope intuitively knew that Odysseus was the beggar but did not want to raise any red flags to the suitors, so she conjured up a clever way of ensuring that Odysseus could claim her “fair and square”. This recognition may not have been immediate but at a certain point after conversing with the beggar I believe Penelope perceived that the beggar was her husband.There are many questions surrounding whether this is so, however there is quite a bit of evidence that can qualify this theory as plausible.…

    To many, collaboration was a pragmatic, albeit sometimes misinformed, strategy of self-preservation. On a national level, the French Vichy government has often been referred to, for instance by Robert Aron, as the shield that kept France safe until De Gaulle’s sword was sharp enough to strike back.[1] This notion is ridiculous. As Julian Jackson points out, the Vichy government was based on the premise that Germany had…

    The Vietnam War was seen by all as horrible and by many, senseless. War has the ability to change people, countries, and even the harmony of the planet. After the Vietnam War’s end, many Americans didn’t want to hear or speak about the war. Many of the citizens in America wanted to forget it ever occurred. The United States had lost their invincibility to their negligence; the nation believed it could do anything. They especially thought they could end the war quickly in Vietnam and stop the spread of communism. The United States had joined the Vietnam War with hopes of becoming an alliance with France. This alliance would help turn the tide easily for them on what they thought was a naïve, unorganized enemy. For many soldiers, it rapidly transformed into a plain hope for survival in a savage wilderness that was South Vietnam.…

    The allies war with the Romans involved hundreds of thousands of men and lasted for three years, this war was a turning point for Rome 's political relations with its allies and was significant in the fact that Rome had to readjust politically. When looking at the Social War many confine the meaning of victory in terms of the battlefield, missing out on a vital aspect of war, the terms of peace and the political outcome. It cannot be determined, whether an army, even if victorious in individual battles, decisively won the war, or whether their success on the battlefields ' was believed to be temporal and not immune to change. This essay will attempt to investigate the question, backed up by literary evidence from the likes of Appian, Livy and Polybus. It would be logical to first assess what the aims of the Italian allies were in making war on Rome, then to determine whether their objectives were met and on what terms.…
