Who is the Speaker and Tone?

The speaker is not only a journalist but also a historian, he focuses his time
on how our natural craving for war effects culture and vice versa.

The writer also seems to be peace activist because he doesnt seem to

support either type of war, by speaking about how he is against propaganda.

The tone of this passage is negative because he repeats the fact that he
believes this 6 Point Plan will not only end badly but end in a complete
disaster.

Turse uses examples of past war encounters to illustrate how the United
States does a poor job at winning wars and the solution isnt a positive
solution.

The speaker of our passage is completely against the six point plan, he
repeats his opinion more than once.

What Happens When We Use Full Force

ended in debt to us and destruction to the country.

military
-Also think about how efficient small ops groups would be
