Question 11-12
A propaganda leaflet provides encouragement to the soldiers to fight for their Fatherland (Rogers 251). They also told of previous victories by their predecessors to instill bravery and hope that they are on the winning side. Propaganda entails false or correct representations that influence the opinions of the soldiers; hence, it is an effective weapon of ensuring a win in battle.
Question 11-13
The rumors spread by propaganda change the beliefs of all the soldiers and their reality to pursue the political causes of war that requires them to fight their enemies and die for their nation. The men need to be shelled from the horrors of the battles with the promises of peace and victory (Rogers 246).
Question 11-16
The disillusionment of dying for one’s country was prevalent during the historical wars. It still exists today as people battle with the terrorism war that has subjected soldiers to devastating deaths in a bid to defend their countries. The hollow concepts of honor and patriotism are the forces that drive many of the heroes (Rogers 254)
Question 11-19
The prohibition of biological and chemical weapons in warfare has been accepted resoundingly by many nations. However, it does not apply in situations where the one country opts to use the artillery against another region. The weapons generate an action of total war that goes against the elements of humanity by inflicting harm of innocent civilians (Rogers 258).
Question 11-20
The available data from human rights groups has raised concerns regarding the accuracy of the intelligence behind surgical strikes. The information contends the civilization and reduction of causalities provided by the mechanisms. However, they have resulted in a decrease in civilian deaths in comparison to the historical era (Rogers 258).
