Vietnamization was a policy of the Richard Nixon administration to end U. S. involvement in the Vietnam War through a program to "expand, equip, and train South Vietnamese forces and assign them an ever-increasing combat role, at the same time steadily reducing the number of U. S. combat soldiers." Essentially, it called for U. S. troops to back off and allow the South Vietnamese to fight their own war. Military Policemen from the 127th M P Company never backed off.

In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. ~John McCrae I wrote this in my English lesson, and then had to read it out. My friend thought I should share it. So here I am.

Summary

A tale of espionage with a twist, set during the occupation of France during World War II. This story focuses on a member of the occupying forces struggling with the deeds he has committed, and was inspired by my granfather's experience of Europe as a member of the Royal Air Force during the war. Some descriptions of violence and war crimes, but nothing too unsightly in this one.

Summary

Many stories have been written about the front line soldier in the Vietnam War. Few have been written about those who served in the rear with the gear and the beer - those who served in the cities, rather than the jungles of Vietnam. This is one of those stories and it focusses, with a bit of humor, on one of the good times, as versus one of the bad.

Summary

This is a story I wrote for my GCSE English Language and was personally rather pleased with the outcome. It is the only piece of creative writing I have done recently as it just isn't a big part of the syllabus anymore. The story itself is about the plight of a field during World War II. It is an interesting take but one I feel that can still generate genuine emotion.
