Fifteen Vietnamese civilians were killed and four injured by the explosion of a mine on a country road 8 km west of Tuy Hòa, March 18, 1966.A mother became a victim of a landmine explosion and her daughter cried out beside the corpse.

About 15 Vietnamese civilians were killed and four others wounded in a landmine explosion on a rural road about 8 km west of Tuy Hoa in South Vietnam on March 18, l966. A mother was the victim of a landmine blast and her daughter cried out beside the corpse. Tuy Hoa is the capital of Phu Yen Province, located on the lower reaches of the Da Lang River in central Vietnam.

 During the Vietnam War, murders, kidnappings, torture and intimidation were routinely carried out in conflicts between the Viet Cong (VC) and the Vietnam People's Army (PAVN). It was estimated that the total number of South Vietnamese civilians killed by the VC/PAVN between 1954 and 1975 ranged from about 106,000 to 227,000. It cowed Vietnamese civilians, liquidated its opponents, demoralized South Vietnamese government officials, and boosted tax collection and propaganda activities. Fear showed the South Vietnamese government that it could not defend itself. In the early years of the Vietnam War, assassinations and similar terrorist activities were organized by the VC's Special Action Force, which was consolidated into the VC, reaching a strength of about 25,000 troops in 1970. In addition to targeted killings and kidnappings, the VC and PAVN frequently pushed into refugee camps and placed landmines on roads frequented by villagers. They were detonated when heavy vehicles passed by. They randomly shelled major cities with rockets of about 122mm. Large-scale terrorist incidents include the Đắk Sơn massacre, the Huế massacre, the Son Tra massacre, and the Thanh My massacre.

 The Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) and the U.S. military also sniped and raided residents, and placed mines and traps in and around villages. Causing villagers to react and retaliate attacks quickly, the VC entered one village and forced the local population to support the revolution. The day after the terrorist information was conveyed to the district capital, American warplanes bombed the village and its church. PAVN/VC troops consistently denied any terrorist tactics, suggesting that from 1968 to 1972, about 80 percent of terrorist victims were civilians and only about 20 percent were government officials, police officers, Self-Defense Forces personnel, and pacification cadres. He suggested that only about 20% of the victims were civilians.

During the Cambodian Civil War, a young husband was murdered by artillery bombing in a street store in Som Lang, and his young wife moaned and wept beside his body.

During the Cambodian Civil War in Som Lang, a young husband was killed in a street store on the evening of January 13, 1998, after being caught up in the civil war. The body of the husband, who was killed instantly by a direct shell hit, lay on his back on the ground. Due to indiscriminate shelling, the young husband's upper body was bleeding from a deep cut wound. Beside the corpse, the young wife groaned and wept. The young wife shakily appealed to the Cambodians around her, "Remove the ring from my husband's finger. They were still newlyweds when they got married. The young wife asked the Cambodians around her to remove the ring from her husband's finger. The wife held her husband's ring in her palm and continued to cry out loudly.

 Hun Sen's army was attacking every day and Lanarit's army was resisting. Suddenly, the Lanarit army shelled Som Lang, where Hun Sen's army was stationed. In the midst of the bombardment, the residents immediately dug a hole in their yard and put their children in the hole, and the residents bent down. Only the rich and senior citizens were able to flee the country, but the weaker citizens were left behind on the battlefield. The Buddhist citizens, fearing civil war, gathered at temples to pray for peace. Indiscriminate shelling reached the hospital, and medical personnel left. The wounded soldiers were pulled back from the battlefield, but their bodies were left unattended. At the local crematoriums, bodies were burned all day long. The poor soldiers of the invading army also looted local houses, killing Cambodian citizens. During the fierce civil war, both Ranarit and senior officials, including Hun Sen, were evacuated from the country.

 On July 5, 1997, Cambodia's full-scale civil war broke out again and Hun Sen's army invaded Ranarit's army in the capital Phnom Penh. Immediately, the battlefield expanded to the vicinity of the northwestern border with Thailand. Many civilians were caught up in the civil war and lost their lives. In March 1970, during the Vietnam War, the pro-American Lon Nol military regime was established, and the civil war between the Khmer Rouge's Pol Pot army and Lon Nol's army clashed and spread throughout the country. The Lon Nol regime collapsed due to indiscriminate bombing and corruption; the Pol Pot regime was established in April 1975. In 1982, a coalition of Sihanouk, Pol Pot, and Song Sam factions was established. The civil war between the three coalition factions on the Thai border and the Heng Samrin faction continued; in 1993, the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) led a four-party general election in Cambodia, and the Pol Pot faction broke away; in 1995, the conflict between the Ranarit faction of the Hunsinpec Party and the Hun Sen faction of the People's Party intensified, and bombings became frequent. In 1998, the second National Assembly election resulted in the formation of the Hun Sen coalition government. Since then, Hun Sen's government has been re-elected in the 3rd (2003), 4th (2008), 5th (2013), and 6th (2018) National Assembly elections, and the long-term dictatorship has continued.

A young man and women were treated by hospital staff at the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital in early October 1945 for the burn wounds suffered from Hiroshima atomic bomb.

A young man and woman were treated by hospital staff at the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital in early October 1945 for wounds burned by the atomic bomb. Much of the medical resources in Hiroshima city had been destroyed, and treatment was limited. A first aid station was also set up at the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. Medical personnel applied iodine ointment, mercurochrome, zinc oxide and other ointments to burns and bandaged them. Medical supplies were soon exhausted, and according to official damage reports, the patients were treated with little more than cooking oil and bandages. Toyoko Kugata (far right), a 22-year-old A-bomb survivor, was treated at the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital in October 1945. Toyoko Kugata was exposed to the atomic bombing about 1.7 kilometers south of the hypocenter, and commuted to the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital for treatment on a large eight-wheeled cart borrowed from a farmer next to her residence.

  As medical supplies ran out, Hibakusha who had left the relief station or who had no relatives in the area applied cooking oil, sliced potatoes, grated cucumbers, and squeezed tomato juice to their burns. In the hot summer, flies would lay eggs in the wounds, so they were often treated by removing the maggots with chopsticks. Those who had burns on more than 30% of their body died from the wounds. Exposure to radiation from the atomic bomb slowed down the healing of the wounds significantly, and some of them took years to heal. In most cases, a scab forms and peels off after healing, often leaving a red rubbery lump of skin called a keloid. Hibakusha with burns on their faces have had difficulty finding marriage partners. Hibakusha with burns endured prejudice from those around them. Many of them continued to be prejudiced, saying that their burns smelled bad, that keloids were contagious, that they were called red devils, and that they felt sick at the sight of their burned skin. Some of the burned Hibakusha tried to hide their burns by wearing long-sleeved shirts and high necks even in the hot Japanese summer. Few of them survived without psychological scars. Those unfortunate survivors who were close to the hypocenter were, of course, charred corpses.

In order to be accepted as a soldier in the American army, soldiers learned in military training how to kill to protect themselves by brutally stabbing their enemies to death with bayonets.

 My son was forced to go through basic military training in order to become a soldier in the U.S. Army during World War II. In military training, he learned how to kill and protect himself by brutally stabbing his enemies to death with a bayonet.

 A senior officer in the army gave these words to the mother of his son.

"I will tell you what it means to send your son to an army camp. Your son has been assigned to training at the Quartermaster Replacement Training Center at Camp Lee. Half of the training period was spent on basic military training, learning how to defend himself with a bayonet. They learned how to handle weapons and march with precision. The other half of the time was spent training the technicians of the paramilitary units as well."

The military is not all about training and studying. Soldiers need to be physically and mentally fit. Our training center has an extensive training program. There are many religious chapels, carefully chosen from all the major denominations.

Mandatory restrictions will be placed on my son's behavior. He is not allowed to go home on furlough except in case of emergency. The son will rise and go to bed at a regular and early hour. You need to have faith in the military just as you have faith in your son. Both son and mother will be able to play their part, as will the army, in eliminating the threat to democracy.

 With bayonets, the soldiers were forced to stab their enemies to death. The soldier lowered his gun in front of the cavalryman, and immediately afterwards, he feasted his dagger weapon. The bayonet replaced the faster and lighter weapon. The bayonet emerged in the late 16th century. The rifle club gave way to the stabbing bayonet. The bayonet consists of a blade of various shapes, double-edged and sharp at the tip. The bayonet functioned as both a knife and a dagger, and the rifle was loaded with the bayonet to attack.

 Due to military necessity, guns were reloaded and bayonets were mounted and fired. Even with the bayonet mounted, the blade was moved out of the line of fire and the bayonet was reloaded. They prevented the bayonet from being dislodged from the barrel of the rifle and secured it to the barrel of the rifle to prevent displacement. from the early 19th century, the first crimped bayonet was manufactured, with a long blade and a back straight and parallel to the blade. The bayonet-type saber was also compatible with rifles due to its long blade and distinctive shape. Adopted by European armies, bayonet-type sabers were equipped one after another. The bayonet for infantry was lengthened to cope with the reduced volume of fire and the impact of cavalry.

 The amount of shots fired by soldiers increased significantly, and cavalry lost its overwhelming advantage. from the early 20th century, large-scale mobile combat was replaced by positional warfare. Defensive facilities and artillery positions for bombardment became essential conditions for a soldier's survival on the battlefield. In the narrow trenches, short and easy to handle bayonets took their place. These days, bayonets are more like knives. This was accompanied by a tactical shift in the use of the bayonet as a weapon. Even during World War II, bayonets changed in shape, first from single-edged with a long tip, to triangular in cross-section with a sharp tip a few years later. The U.S. military bayonet adopted an even longer blade, which had the dual function of a bayonet and a drilling tool.

Photo of two casualties in the anarchist riot in Union Square of New York City. The photo was taken only 20 seconds after a bomb was thrown into a crowd.

Hundreds of police were repressed to disperse the crowd because the New York City Unemployed Congress was exercising their right to assemble in Union Square Park without their permission. Shortly thereafter, on March 29, 1908, Silverstein, one of two anarchists, Ignatz Hildebrand and Selig Silverstein, attempted to throw a bomb at the police. They were seen as the culprits, but unfortunately the crude bomb exploded at the moment they threw it. Hildebrand was killed instantly by the explosion. Silverstein had his hands and eyes blown off and died shortly after. This photo was taken about 20 seconds after he blew himself up with the crude bomb. Shortly before Silverstein's death, he said, "I came to the park to kill the police. I detest them. He confessed.

 In 1908, there were more than 100 cities in the U.S. with a population of more than 50,000. Not surprisingly, crime was an increasing concern. The cities were crowded with poor, disappointed immigrants. Corruption was widespread throughout the country in local governments and large corporations. Ford introduced the Model T automobile, making the number of cars more economically viable. The poor became both the source and the target of criminals. An anarchic movement grew, consisting of violent extremists, strongly influenced by ideology, and committed to overthrowing the government, which the poor hated. 

 The police were unable to contain the crime. Local and state police officers were poorly trained, poorly paid, and irrelevant. on September 6, 1901, anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot and killed President McKinley in Buffalo, New York. McKinley died eight days later, and President Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in. Roosevelt believed that federal action was necessary to bring justice to industrial society.

 In 1906, Roosevelt appointed Charles Bonaparte (grandson of Napoleon) as the second Secretary of Justice. Bonaparte found that the police alone were inadequate to combat the growing problem of crime and corruption. American lawyers were searching for facts for investigators to file lawsuits. It was necessary for Bonaparte to hire a highly trained and advanced intelligence agency. The intelligence officer did not manage Bonaparte's own investigations, but reported directly to the head of the intelligence service.


 In May 1908, fearing that Roosevelt would overstep his executive authority, Congress banned the creation of intelligence agencies in all federal departments; on July 26, 1908, Bonaparte established a "regular team of experts" and ordered the Justice Department to refer most investigative cases to this intelligence agency. This intelligence agency initially consisted of nine well-trained intelligence investigators and twenty-five principal agents. 1935, it was renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In 1935, the Bureau was renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which was differentiated into the CIA, which was the overseas intelligence agency, and the FBI, which was mainly the domestic intelligence agency in the United States.
