    The not-so “Good War” The Second World War is often remembered as the “Good War” for the American’s heroic stand against the Nazis and the Japanese‚ but the moniker overly simplifies what many consider “history’s greatest catastrophe.” Images of heroic American soldiers bravely sacrificing their livelihoods and breath to bring freedom to Europe were plastered across the 1940’s media to rally support for the War‚ perhaps cementing the “Good War” characterization in American memory.

    You are repeating ’’leader" so often that your essay don’t sound good. Just read it aloud and you’ll understand what I mean. A positive attitude is another essential quality a leader must have in order to do well in office. A leader must see things in a positive light or else everything will not go as planned.
