The setting of the two wars (Iraq and Vietnam) are very
different. The Iraq war can be described as taking place in market squares…just
basically a more modernized war in all aspect, from the advance in technology,
to the advance in weapons also. I almost
feel as if it was an honor to go to war before and defend your country and whatever
principles it stands for, now it’s like we’ve lost sight of those values. With the war in Iraq it’s safe to say we don’t
know exactly who we are fighting. I mean to label a war as “a war on terror” it
just sounds unorganized…but then again I know nothing about wars so that’s just
a personal view. These two writers have different writing styles and it’s safe
to say that they are based on the difference in the wars. Brian Turner is more
of a hitting the nail on the head writer with his explanations of the war. His
poetry has a concentrated feel to it, whereas Komenyaka poetry is more relaxed not so hard and
forceful.
