mistake

OK so I accidentally posted my blog mid-blog without editing it, and I am not sure how to get it back! Sorry about that but I'll continue and try not to mess up again. I found that propaganda of the deed was a great term for the class to learn about. Especially with student not really understanding Operation Enduring Freedom. However with this theory now in there bank of knowledge they may think twice when they see another report of and IED blast going off. I found a book that seems pretty interesting http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/ajps/2007/00000051/00000002/art00010 it is about terrorism and the Propaganda of the deed.  it is about terrorism and the Propaganda of the deed. Seems pretty interesting but who knows. Now we are suppose to learn 10 new words a week and post them. I think I found so pretty good words. Plus I have always wanted to do this so I guess now I have a reason to.

My First blog

Well, this will be my first ever blog post so I hope I get the hang of this. I guess I should let you know a little about me first I am from York, PA on a full ROTC scholarship. I hope that this coming Novemeber I will find out that I got my number 1 branch choice of Armor and get assigned to Cav. platton. I am also a huge sports fan, mostly college however my basketball team is the Chicago Bulls! But enough about myself and to the topic of class. So far I have enjoyed this class termediously! The way we talk about theories without going over boring power points and dictionary defonitions is great for my way of learning. I guess without realizing I have been using divergent thinking my whole life! I usally always make list and never let a idea slip away, no matter how crazy.
