The KGB (Komitet gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, translating to Committee for State Security) recruited Oswald to kill JFK and made an in depth dossier on the assassination as a way to deflect any blame. Russia’s connection with Oswald was well known; in particular, his recruitment and close surveillance by the KGB is well documented. The KGB knew about Oswald’s irregular personality and pro-communist mentality; they also knew about how he revealed his intentions to give the Soviets sensitive intel (Epstein). He had access to classified information regarding flight patterns, radars, and a height-finding radar that would be of interest to the KGB because it would help with locating U-2 spy flights. It’s likely that Oswald revealed information …show more content…
Oswald’s letter requesting USSR citizenship in 1959 was rejected. On October 21, shortly after hearing the news, Oswald slit his left wrist in an attempt to bleed out, but was found and taken to a local hospital (Breslow). After leaving the hospital, Oswald traveled to the US Embassy to renounce his American citizenship. Soviet officials allowed him to stay in the country, but under close surveillance (Warren, 393-394). As discussed earlier, the decision to let Oswald stay in the Soviet Union reached high levels of the government. The Russians were hesitant to let him stay because of his far-right views, but they let him stay because his mental state was seemingly unstable. During his two and a half year stay, Oswald met and married his wife before they moved to Texas with their child. Oswald’s stay in the USSR verifies that his time in Russia was not related to his plan of an assassination, but rather his mental state and family. Russia didn’t conspire with him at that time because Oswald was alone in assassinating …show more content…
Kennedy’s assassination. His trips to the Soviet Union were because of his interest in Communism and Marxism, but Russia was unwilling to be connected to him because they knew that he was a dangerous and unstable person. He was a lonely man who tried and failed to be apart of a bigger cause. He worked alone because Russia refused to be associated with him, and decided that the only way to be important was to assassinate his
However Castro found out about the plot, apparently through one of the Mafia bosses who was a Cuban sympathizer, Carlos Trafficante, and redirected it back at Kennedy. Another one of the mafia bosses also wanted to get back at Kennedy. Kennedy had won the presidential election with the mafia's help, and still his brother Robert, Attorney General at the time, was publicly prosecuting these same bosses as an effort to put down organized crime. It is believed that Trafficante redirected the Cuban exiles to accompany Oswald in Dallas. The third is the amount of government cover-ups that arose from the assassination. One year earlier Kennedy had made a secret pack with Russia that he would not interfere with the Cuban government. But Kennedy broke this pack by plotting to assassinate Castro. It was believed that if Castro was assassinated then Russia would have retaliated with nuclear weapons. Therefore Kennedy had to be eliminated so that this would not have happened. His death virtually eliminated the threat of Soviet retaliation against the U.S. for his plot to remove Castro using Mafia resources. The murder of Oswald by Jack Ruby plays into this theory that the government was somehow involved. Why would Jack Ruby kill Oswald? I believe that Ruby killed Oswald so that he would not leak to the public that the assassination was a conspiracy. How would the American people take it? Our president was killed by our own
The day of the assassination of Kennedy was very unlikeable. Kennedy also made the assassination more easier for the assioson. If Kennedy was more aware, The bubble top to the car would be on, and the motorcade could pick up speed, and if wife Jaclyn could wear not so bright clothes, maybe none of this would had happened.
The shots boom in the Texas School Book Depository! President Kennedy was shot twice, once in the throat and then a few seconds later he was shot in the back of the head. Oswald was the killer, the reason he did it may never be known. Although many people believe that there were multiple assassins, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination.

Two days after the JFK assassination, the official suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was shot dead by Jack Ruby, a Dallas strip club owner. Oswald’s famous remark that “I’m just a patsy” (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.20, p.366) inevitably led to suspicions that his murder was a convenient execution.

Oswald was a narcissistic man who believed he was amazing and that he would be the one to change the United States for the better.

Oswald’s support for communism will be one of his main vendettas towards the president of the United States.

While in jail he was interviewed by the FBI as his own request.

Over the next few years, more than a million military service members are expected to transition to the general population and some challenges are expected such as finding a good job to sustain their way of living (GAO, 2014). To assist service men and women during the process of transition, the Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP) previously known as the Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) was put in place. This is a program that has been in existence since 1990 after the congress passed a law targeting its establishment. This mandatory program was designed by the Department of the Army to help ease the burden of Military and Department of the Army employees experiencing career transition. The program was established to assist not only military personnel but also their family members with transitioning. It was founded as an answer to the problems associated mostly with job acquisition, school admission and rehabilitation of military personnel into
Samuel Johnson, a British author, once stated, “To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution”. While ambition is extremely crucial to everyone’s goals, it is important to know when boundaries need to be put in place. This touches base with Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth” character of Macbeth. With ambition being a very strong suit of him, he also does not know where to set his own boundaries. Because of his choices, Macbeth is responsible for his own fate.
